    1 day ago | phonearena.com | Anam Hamid

    T-Mobile may be veering away from its Uncarrier ethos, but the carrier very much continues to deliver on the technological front. Last week, it set a new uplink speed record, and while that in itself is big news, an underemphasized detail should give you even more reason to be excited. Uplink speed, or the rate at which data is sent from a device, is the next big thing, according to T-Mobile.

  • Google Messages rival is back from the dead and getting even better

    Samsung couldn't bring itself to kill its Messages app apparently and a slew of new features are rumored to breathe new life into it. The South Korean giant's interest in Samsung Messages had been waning since 2021, which is when it started showing preference for Google Messages. The company removed the app from the Play Store earlier this year, which coincided with its announcement that the app was being phased out. Verizon also briefly removed RCS support for the app, before reinstating it.

    Carriers offer a feature called AutoPay to customers that lets them set up automatic payments for their monthly bills. This not only ensures that bills are paid on time but almost all carriers give discounts to customers for using AutoPay. The feature mostly works as intended, but sometimes, you might regret setting it up, as one Verizon customer has found.

  • T-Mobile users get new Starlink toggle as public rollout approaches

    3 days ago | phonearena.com | Anam Hamid

    T-Mobile's Starlink-powered satellite messaging service is in beta right now and free for everyone. Once it launches in July, everyone but customers on T-Mobile's expensive plans will have to pay for it. Customers enrolled in the beta program have spotted a new toggle that may come in handy after the public rollout. Satellite-based communication can be a vital lifeline when natural disasters knock down land-based networks or when you are in a dead zone with no cellular signals.
