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.

If you've ever struggled to get your smartphone unlocked, then you should appreciate the FCC's latest initiative. On Thursday, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel proposed that the agency require mobile carriers to unlock all phones within 60 days of activation. The goal would be to ease confusion among customers by applying the same unlocking rules across the board.

I know that the only thing most of the tech world can think about at the moment is the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which should be here in a couple of weeks, but Samsung keeps running back this same incredible Galaxy S24 Ultra deal. They really want you to save up to $750 with a trade-in, plus they’ll give you a free upgrade in storage to 512GB. It’s crazy that they are still running this deal still.

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.
