Samsung Galaxy S4 preorders start at AT&T on April 16th for $249.99
via theverge.com
AT&T has announced availability and pricing for the new Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. Customers will be able to preorder the Galaxy S4 starting on April 16th for $249.99 with a new two-year agreement. The carrier claims to be the first to offer the GS4 in the US, though Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and other regional carriers have committed to carrying it. T-Mobile recently revealed that it plans to offer the Galaxy S 4 starting on May 1st, though it is not clear if that means preorders will be available then or it will be in stores on that date...

BlackBerry Z10 Officially Available on AT&T
via mashable.com
The BlackBerry Z10 smartphone is now officially available on AT&T.
The struggling manufacturer — which is hopeful its new flagship device will ignite a company resurgence — announced on Friday the Z10 can finally be activated on AT&T. It costs $199 with a two-year contract.
BlackBerry, formerly known as Research In Motion (RIM), also sent a tweet at midnight ET announcing Best Buy will start selling the device on Friday for $199 with a two-year contract.

BlackBerry’s Z10 Will Make Its AT&T Debut On March 22 For $199, Pre-Orders Kick Off Tomorrow
via techcrunch.com
Just days after Bloomberg ran a report claiming that AT&T would release BlackBerry’s long-awaited Z10 smartphone on March 22, AT&T has issued a statement confirming that launch will indeed go forward as reported. Prospective BlackBerry owners will have to shell out $199 for the Canadian company’s new flagship and (for better or worse) sign a two year contract.
In the event that you absolutely need to have one (a sentiment that our own Darrell Etherington didn’t share in his full review), AT&T will kick off the pre-order process starting tomorrow, March 12.
This makes AT&T the second of the three major U.S. wireless carriers to announce availability for the Z10 — T-Mobile announced late last week that its business customers would be able to get their hands on the device starting today, though it remained decidedly mum when it came to general consumer availability. Verizon on the other hand is widely expected to push BlackBerry’s Z10 out the door sometime in April, and Sprint has decided to focus solely on the QWERTY keyboard-packing Q10 (see our hands-on impressions here).

BlackBerry Z10 Said to Hit AT&T Stores March 22 for U.S.
via bloomberg.com
BlackBerry’s new Z10 device will go on sale with AT&T Inc. (T) on March 22 as the Canadian smartphone maker seeks a sales recovery in its biggest market, according to two people familiar with the plan.
The touch-screen phone will begin appearing in U.S. stores that day, said the people, who asked not to be named because no release date has been announced.
BlackBerry, which gets about one-fifth of revenue from the U.S., is counting on the Z10 to revive its brand’s appeal against more popular rivals led by Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPhone. While the device has won praise from U.S. technology critics and will have already debuted in 21 countries at the end of this week, American consumers have had to wait because their carriers have longer testing periods for phones.

AT&T Is About To Unlock All Your Old iPhones
AT&T will begin unlocking iPhones that are out of contract beginning tomorrow, Engadget reports.
If your iPhone is out of contract (usually a few years after purchase) and your account is in good standing, all you have to do is ask AT&T to unlock the phone.
That'll let you plug in a different SIM card, which lets you connect to a different carrier's wireless network. That would make it easier to use an internationally-based phone provider.

The Ridiculous Trick AT&T And Apple Are Playing On iPhone 4S Owners
If you're an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4S, you probably noticed a change if you updated your phone yesterday.
That "3G" symbol in the top left corner of your iPhone now reads "4G."
Why?
Because the AT&T model of the iPhone 4S runs on a type of network called HSPA+, which is slightly faster than the 3G connection you're used to. AT&T brands its HSPA+ network as a "4G" network. It also calls its LTE network, which can be about 10 times faster than 3G, a "4G" network.

Got an AT&T iPhone? iOS 5.1 now gives you '4G'
via engadget.com
Ever since T-Mobile and AT&T began touting their HSPA+ networks as "4G," the debate on the term's legitimacy has raged on. Regardless of how you feel about the matter, one thing's for sure: Apple's finally taken sides on the argument, and the company's all for it. In today's iOS update, Cupertino features an "updated AT&T network indicator," which means you'll see a 4G icon whenever you're in HSPA+ coverage. Granted, this doesn't actually mean you'll enjoy faster speeds -- you'll just have a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that another G just got added to your screen. Such an action makes us wonder if Apple's slowly losing its ability to stand up against AT&T's wishes, not to mention the demands of other US carriers.

AT&T Seems To Be Moving Closer To Shared Data Plans
via appadvice.com
Even though it has been more than eight months since AT&T confirmed that shared data plans were in the works, information leaked over the weekend shows group data sharing is inching closer to reality.
Engadget first published two screenshots provided anonymously from Telegence, AT&T’s internal system used to manage customer accounts. The screenshots refer to adding new group-level data sharing nodes in preparation for the launch of shared data plans. But, on the downside, the system states that any launch date is still unknown.

Sprint says AT&T made the 'right decision'
via cnet.com
Christmas came early for Sprint today when AT&T announced that it was abandoning its controversial $39 billion bid to acquire T-Mobile.
In a statement released moments ago, Vonya B. McCann, Sprint's senior vice president of Government Affairs, said AT&T made the "right decision for consumers, competition and innovation in the wireless industry."
AT&T gives up on buying T-Mobile
The bigger they are, the harder they fall: AT&T has formally abandoned its bid to take over number-four U.S. mobile operator T-Mobile. As a result, AT&T will take a $4 billion pretax charge during the fourth quarter of 2011 as part of its agreed-upon breakup fee; the terms of the deal also have AT&T required to relinquish assets and other services as part of the failure. However, AT&T also says it will enter into a “mutually beneficial” roaming agreement with Deutche Telekom, although no details have been spelled out.

AT&T may ditch T-Mobile bid for a smaller deal
via news.cnet.com
The newspaper reported today that talks between AT&T and the U.S. Department of Justice to come up with an acceptable plan for the wireless giant to buy T-Mobile have stalled. The Justice Department sued AT&T in August to stop the planned merger, stating that such a merger would hurt competition.

The U.S. Justice Department has asked a federal judge to postpone or withdraw its petition to stop AT&T from acquiring T-Mobile. It cited a shifting regulatory landscape that makes the AT&T/T-Mobile lawsuit unnecessary.

AT&T Sucks More Than Any Other Carrier, Says Consumer Reports
via gizmodo.com
Once again, AT&T has been declared the worst carrier provider by the users themselves. This year Consumer Reports' satisfaction survey—which covered 66,000 people—says the same: AT&T sucks.

AT&T readies a Hail Mary pass on T-Mobile--report
via news.cnet.com
According to Bloomberg, the telecom giant is preparing to offer a deal to the Department of Justice under which AT&T would divest as much as 40 percent of T-Mobile's assets as part of the acquisition. It's not at all clear which parts of T-Mobile AT&T might consider shedding as part of this plan.

How long will AT&T fight for T-Mobile?
AT&T's chances of closing its $39 billion deal to buy T-Mobile USA are looking pretty slim as the FCC chairman officially expresses opposition to the deal. But how long will AT&T fight to keep the merger alive?
