Jaybird’s Tarah wireless sport earbuds are half off
[ad_1] While we haven’t reviewed the Tarah Wireless Sport Headphones, Jaybird’s earbuds have been a reliable, well-regarded option for years. They typically sound good out of the box and sound great with a little EQ fine tuning via the app. This model has an IPX7 rating, meaning not only can they stand a little sweat […]
Cross-carrier glitch sent people ancient texts in the middle of the night
[ad_1] The hiccup appears to be the result of a common carrier infrastructure glitch. T-Mobile told Engadget this was a “third party vendor issue that also affected other networks,” while US Cellular told 92 Moose that a flawed update to the “cross carrier messaging system” was to blame. Sprint, meanwhile, pinned the issue on a […]
US will grant Huawei trade ban exemptions ‘very shortly’
[ad_1] Ross didn’t give hints as to which firms had applied for licenses. However, the trade ban has conspicuously affected Google more than some companies. Huawei can’t offer new phones with a version of Android using Google apps so long as the blacklisting remains in effect, and its ability to update existing phones will go […]
AT&T’s new unlimited phone plans drop WatchTV
[ad_1] The other two plans are considerably more straightforward. Unlimited Starter ($35 per line for four lines) is the no-frills option with unlimited calling, texting and on-device data in the US, Canada and Mexico, but not much else.

Verizon is giving Unlimited customers 12 months of Disney+ for free
[ad_1] This makes Verizon the exclusive Disney+ carrier, and it could help Disney+ better compete with Apple TV+, which launches on November 1st.

Huawei wants to license its 5G tech to US telecoms
[ad_1] Company founder Ren Zhengei floated the possibility of these deals in September, but it wasn’t clear at the time whether anyone would be receptive. However, that’s not really the core problem. Huawei still sits on the US Commerce Department’s Entity List, preventing it from doing business with US companies without explicit permission. A license […]
Verizon adds 5G coverage to three basketball and hockey arenas
[ad_1] The network plans to have 5G coverage in 10 arenas by the end of the 2019-2020 season. These building-by-building expansions are necessary in part due to the limited reach of current 5G tech. As we’ve discovered first-hand, Verizon’s ultra-wideband 5G doesn’t reach far indoors — the company can’t just place cell sites outside. If […]
