Got Sprint? Get Google Voice now

/in

It’s always nice when you get a special feature from Google that is specific to your carrier. I already use Google voice to handle my voicemail but now I can go a few steps further which is great! just a though: In light of the recent AT&T acquisition of Tmobile, does this signal Google is interested in Sprint? hmm…

First, Sprint customers will be able to use their existing Sprint mobile number as their Google Voice number and have it ring multiple other phones simultaneously. So now, calls to your Sprint mobile number can easily be answered from your office or your home phone, or even your computer through Gmail. Calls from Gmail and text messages sent from google.com/voice will also display your Sprint number. This basically gives Sprint customers all the benefits of Google Voice without the need to change or port their number.

AT&T Buys T-Mobile

/in

Big surprise here. Just a few weeks ago rumors were floating about Sprint buying Tmobile and now it’s AT&T. I’m not sure what to think. But since my family uses Tmobile I’ll have a chance to find out

AT&T just announced a deal to buy T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a cash and stock deal worth $39 billion.

The deal would make AT&T the nation’s largest wireless carrier by a wide margin, so it will probably face significant government scrutiny, and AT&T could have to make some big concessions.

Today’s Nuclear Power Learning Minute: “Critical” means “stable”.

/in

Clearly, nuclear scientists are not PR professionals. A PR person would be permanently banished from the profession if they suggested using the word “Critical” to mean stable. Be that as it may, read the post below and get some good education from the Nuclear Scientists at MIT

when a reactor is said to have “gone critical,” it actually means it is in a stable configuration producing a constant power.

If you’re using jailbroken tethering on the iPhone..AT&T is coming to take you away

/in

I’m a heavy tether user on my Sprint EVO 4G. I use pdaNET which allows free tethering (though an ingenious use of the development mode usb connection). But if you’re an AT&T iPhone user and you’ve got some naughty apps letting you tether without paying the additional service fees…watch out!

AT&T is ruining a lot of people’s days with a customer mailshot explaining that its “records show that you use [tethering] but are not subscribed to our tethering plan.” iOS, of course, will disable the built-in tethering facility if you do not have an appropriate carrier plan.
