Driving around and feel like you are missing something? It is 4G LTE connectivity, of course! AT&T and Audi are teaming up to solve this predicament. Starting with the upcoming 2015 Audi A3, the German car manufacturer will bring AT&T’s 4G LTE network right into the vehicle… at a cost.

Audi is offering two separate plans. The first will cost $99 and it covers six months with 5GB. The other, which Audi is calling its “best value,” supplies 30GB across thirty months for a whopping $499. In case shelling out that kind of money made you feel uneasy (because buying an car isn’t), the A3 will come with a free six-month trial. Then you can decide whether or not 4G LTE connectivity in the car is right for you. And if that still was not enough, Audi says that by this summer, the car can be added to AT&T’s Mobile Share plan.

Hit the break for Audi’s press release. » Read the rest

AT&T has announced that they will be cutting costs of their 2GB mobile sharing plans by $15 starting tomorrow, March 9. The plan will be cut from $55 per month to $40 per month.

This change will affect both new and existing customers, and cost per device per month will be added to the changes, meaning that most customers will be looking at around $65 per month.

In order to take advantage of the changes, users can call AT&T, use the myAT&T app, or visit an AT&T store.

LG D850 said to be heading to AT&T, is this their LG G3?

Earlier today, @evleaks graced us with a piece of information that should start up some chatter about an upcoming LG device. An unidentified device, with the model number LG D850, is heading to AT&T at some point in the future. What is this device? More likely than not it is the LG G3, which is rumored for a June release. He provides a little background by saying “D800 was G2, D820 was Nexus 5, and D830 was G Pro 2.” It would make sense that this is the G3 as it is right in line with what LG is projected to have coming next.

And this morning, a Verizon device with the model number LG VS985 leaked earlier today. The LG G2′s Verizon model number was LG VS985; therefore, it looks like the G3 is fairly close to being announced. The device is expected to have a eye-popping 2560×1440 QHD display. Stay tuned for more information on this device. » Read the rest

AT&T green lights LTE-Advanced Network in Chicago

AT&T_Logo_01_TAAT&T will be the first to use a new LTE-Advanced technique called carrier aggregation to produce faster LTE speeds on its network. The technique combines two 4G networks to create a big boost in speed on LTE devices.

While there are a few markets that this new service has gone live in, Chicago is the only place that has been specifically named. However if you expect a big announcement, you’ll more than likely be disappointed as only a few devices are capable of using the new network and by a few, we mean one. So far a mobile hotspot called Unite is the only thing capable at the moment. However, Samsung’s newest flagship, the Galaxy S 5 will most likely be the first smartphone to support carrier aggregation.

More devices will surely follow, but given that Samsung has already confirmed that the S5 will support some LTE-Advanced networks in the U.S. it seems like a ringer for AT&T. The company will most likely move the technology to other markets as well over the coming year.

According to the AT&T CEO, Randall Stephenson, the device subsidy model that is currently employed by many phone companies is changing. In an address at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, Stephenson said that AT&T competition changed drastically last year, sparked mainly by T-Mobile, who is moving away from contracts and subsidies.

According to Stephenson, the average customer now has a lot more transparency, and understands more about what phone carriers are offering them. Consumers are also now choosing to pay more upfront for their devices in favor of lower monthly rates.

As we get closer to its March 25 announcement in New York City, new information continues to surface about The all new HTC One. This time around, @evleaks gives us a look at the AT&T model of HTC’s 2014 flagship. It looks like the only truly noticeable branding is on the backside where AT&T has opted to stamp their logo. Also, the carrier has its 4G LTE icon in the status bar; however, that is a common change among all carriers.

Now if only we knew what Verizon’s carrier branding will be… » Read the rest

ATT-Mobile-Phone-Wireless-Logo-Store-WindowToday, AT&T is making it much more affordable for customers to text and call internationally from the United States. Beginning Friday, all AT&T Mobile Share and Mobile Share Value plans will come with unlimited international texting from the U.S. In addition, AT&T is adding a $5-per-month package that allows subscribers to call any of 35 countries for a penny per minute. The 35 countries includes Canada and Mexico, as well as a multitude of Latin American and Caribbean countries.

This is clearly a response to T-Mobile, who cut international costs last year, and gave subscribers free texting and internet access internationally, as well as Verizon, who also cut international rates.
