If you read this blog a lot you’ve probably picked up on the fact that I make fun of Sprint a lot. The company isn’t always easy for a techie like me to like, because they’ve…
I have been given or purchased a number of various USB power banks. These power banks are designed to replace the AC outlet with a USB power supply so that when you’re in the field and…
Sometimes, when you move forward, you leave some things behind. Such was the case back in 2013, when I told you that AT&T was retiring its old 2G/3G network. This was really the network that built AT&T…

Does it work? I put the weBoost Drive Sleek through its paces and recorded the results. Here’s what I did: I totally ignored the owner’s manual and installation instructions. The Drive Sleek comes with stickers on each part, as…
You’ve never seen a cell booster that looks like this. The weBoost Drive Sleek, just announced by our friends at weBoost, the company powered by the might of Wilson Electronics. The first thing you’ll see is that…
Quick. What’s your best friend’s phone number? You get points if you got it right. Still, you probably can’t give the phone numbers of your ten closest relatives. The odds are overwhelming that you can give…
