How to check your carrier's 5G coverage

How to check 5G network coverage for AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

5G refers to the fifth generation of cellular network technology that will eventually replace 4G, which is what most smartphones use today. Data transfer rates are many times faster on 5G, with the potential to be many, many times faster, so much so that it could possibly replace your home cable internet at some point. While 4G LTE supports peak download speeds of around 300 megabits per second (Mbps), average download speeds vary by carrier and are generally under 100 Mbps.

iPhone unlimited data plans are back

Revenge of the unlimited data plan

After years of moving away from unlimited data plans, the wireless industry has done an about-face. iPhone owners now have several unlimited options from major carriers including AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and Sprint. Data plans with no hard limit have proliferated over the past year, as carriers fight tooth and nail for data-hungry smartphone subscribers. Here are some highlights of the latest and greatest unlimited data plans for iPhone.

Apple Music added to T-Mobile Music Freedom

T-Mobile has added Apple Music to its list of music services that can stream for free over the carrier's 4G LTE network. Music Freedom allows Simple Choice customers to enjoy 33 music streaming services without burning through their T-Mobile data plan. The list of supported services include popular music platforms such as Pandora, Spotify, Rdio and more. You can see a complete list of supported services here.

T-Mobile Announces Un-Contract and Carrier Freedom

T-Mobile CEO John Legere announced new initiatives for businesses and consumers at its Un-carrier 9.0 event in New York on Wednesday. The company explained its plans to simplify wireless pricing with its new "Un-contract" initiative and said it would pay "outstanding device payments" for new customers who drop their current carrier and switch to T-Mobile.

Un-contract

T-Mobile promised its current subscribers that their Simple Choice rates would never go up as long as they remain customers, and that users with unlimited 4G LTE plans will be able to keep the same rates for a minimum of two years. T-Mobile hopes to put an end to the practice of offering short-term promotions to woo customers, just like it did when it ended long-term contracts with its Un-carrier initiative in 2013.
