If you’re one of the anointed few using Google’s “Project Fi” service, you’re on the cutting edge of some really cool stuff. Project Fi, available only on a small number of Nexus phones, lets your phone…
Zero rating is a big buzzword right now. It started off innocently enough but it’s now being used in ways it was never intended. Some are calling it unfair and some are calling it a fair…
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room first. In most countries, cellular service is highly regulated, even more than it is here. In most countries, all cell phones work with all providers and that makes…

And then, SureCall got serious about consumers. I’ll tell you, of my blog faithful, that I’ve had some idea this was coming. Solid Signal has carried SureCall products for years (even back when it was called CellPhoneMate.) They’re…
AT&T has joined the rest of the cell carriers according to our friends at Engadget. They were the last major carrier to rely on the old model of free equipment with a two-year contract, and even though they…
