• AT&T Acquires T-Mobile US For $39 Billion

    // Gradly // blog, Mobile, News 2 Responses


    AT&T bought T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom for $39 billion so there are now only three major mobile carriers in the US – AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Both carriers use the same technologies: GSM, HSPA+ and LTE. AT&T Mobile will become a monopoly for GSM cellular services in the US.

    AT&T will become the largest US cellular carrier surpassing Verizon by a nice margin based on an estimated number of subscribers at Verizon as 94 million. Purchasing T-Mobile will add about 34 million subscribers to AT&T’s 96 million creating a subscriber base of approximately 130 million for the combined carrier.

  • iPhone may not wake you up on time tomorrow morning

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, iPhone, Mobile 1 Response

    Apple is warning iPhone users that the daylight savings time glitch that plagued Europe affects US iPhones too, meaning you’ll wake up an hour late if you rely on the Clock app built into the device. Though Apple representatives say there’s a permanent fix in the works, it’s not due until iOS 4.2, so the company suggests you set a new alarm today if you want to rise on time. Since the bug apparently only affects certain repeating alarms, you can create a new one-time alarm (i.e. with the repeat option set to “never”) instead, and the iPhone clock will take care of the rest.
