Even if you don't use AT&T, you've more than likely heard of the company's variety of unlimited data plans. These plans have taken many different forms over the years, with many going on to be discontinued to make way for new and improved plans. More recently, AT&T retired some of its longtime unlimited plans such as AT&T Unlimited Extra, AT&T Unlimited Starter, and AT&T Unlimited Premium. While you aren't required to switch if you're already on an unlimited plan that's been retired, keeping it won't help if you're trying to save on your AT&T bill.

While T-Mobile has made a lot of changes for the better over the past decade, the carrier still might not be the right choice for everyone. And if you’re looking to switch from T-Mobile to another carrier, you’ll want to cancel your service. Like most carriers, T-Mobile does make it a bit difficult to cancel your service, which is actually a good thing. Let’s face it, you don’t really want anyone to be able to cancel your phone service and potentially lose your phone number.

Major international outages are affecting Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile roaming data plans. The root cause is unclear, possibly related to carrier transitions from 2G/3G to 4G/5G.

California regulators just stopped AT&T from pulling the plug. California’s Public Utilities Commission on June 20 rejected AT&T’s application to stop providing landlines and other services in areas where there is no other option.

Uncarrier or Verizon 2.0? It's getting harder to tell. In 2012, the wireless industry was in a less-than-ideal state. AT&T and Verizon dominated the market, despite a reputation for price gouging. Meanwhile, Sprint and T-Mobile lagged behind in third and fourth place, respectively. In an effort to change its trajectory, T-Mobile hired John Legere as CEO. Legere wasn’t your typical corporate suit. He wore jeans and T-shirts, and cursed like a sailor. He was also outspoken about the poor policies and practices of the larger wireless carriers, and actually made a ton of big changes to the company through the “Uncarrier” marketing initiative.
