Verizon has countered a recent offer from T-Mobile subsidiary Mint Mobile with its own promotional campaign that apparently comes with a 5-year price guarantee. Anyone using T-Mobile’s postpaid service in the United States is being tempted to switch to Verizon’s Visible service in exchange for a lower per-line fee of $15/month. The offer includes taxes and fees and comes with a supposed 5-year price guarantee, but you must bring your own device and commit to an entire year of service. In comparison, Mint is offering $15/month (taxes and fees excluded) with free lines in a time-limited three-month promotional campaign. The campaign is aimed squarely at AT&T and Verizon switchers who bring their own devices and port their numbers over to Mint.

Verizon has another satellite partner as it looks to fill in the gaps for its Earth-based wireless service.

SpaceX says many consumers won't be able to connect to its cellular Starlink system if AT&T and Verizon have their way with US regulations. The company sent a letter to the FCC on Thursday, pushing back on an AT&T and Verizon effort to convince the US regulator to limit radio emissions from the cellular Starlink network.

AT&T seems to be experiencing some issues right now that are leaving customers seeing “SOS” instead of their usual bars of service. According to The Mobile Report, AT&T has found internally that a failure at a switching center “has resulted in a cascade of problems, including service delays, the inability to provision new SIM cards, and, for many, a complete loss of network connectivity” that may primarily affect iPhones and other Apple devices. Users on Reddit have also reported service issues on some Android devices.

It’s difficult for tech writers like myself to get a broad view on a piece of tech within our day-to-day lives. Many of us live in small rental apartments in the inner city, which severely limits our ability to conduct holistic reviews on more fixed things like doorbells and security cameras. In the case of mesh Wi-FI, the tech’s greatest advantage is consistent coverage across a wide area, so it’s tough to get a good view in a small apartment. My solution with this modem-router?
