Up until now, if you wanted to customize your own Motorola Moto X smartphone, then you had to subscribe with AT&T to do so, as the Moto Maker service was an exclusive to the network. Now, just in time for some Christmas shopping, Motorola has opened Moto Maker’s doors to anyone signing up with T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon too.

There’s some more good news on the wallet front, as Motorola has dropped the price of the Moto X to $100 with a two-year contract through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. As for T-Mobile, purchasing the Moto X on Moto Maker only provides an off-contract option, which means the phone will cost you $500.

So what can you do in Moto Maker? It provides the chance to customize the look of your Moto X, from the color of the body shell to an engraving on the rear panel, right down to the greeting displayed on the screen at startup. There are more than 2,000 possible configurations, and while it doesn’t quite extend to specifying which battery or processor you’d like, you can choose between 16GB or 32GB of memory, and even the color of the included headphones.

All this lovely choice can be baffling though, and as our Mobile Editor found out, it’s easy to while away hours deciding what you want, only to reach a compromise because you can’t get it exactly right. Still, it has got to be better than only being able to choose between grey, white or worse, gold, right?

The $100 promo price is only for a limited time, so if you want to make your own Moto X and get a great deal, then it’s best to do it soon. Make sure you check out our review of the phone first, though.

5G coverage map: Where you can get 5G on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile

Qualcomm 5G at CES 2019

Gone are the days when 5G was just a buzzword and deployment was experimental. Today, 5G is an established worldwide networking protocol built into most high-quality and flagship mobile devices. 5G stands for fifth-generation mobile technology, and it's destined to replace 4G (and older protocols) worldwide with speeds up to 100 times faster. Not only is it faster, but it is also more responsive for overall coverage and reception. That means faster uploading and downloading of documents, images, and videos. For home use, it means replacing fiber-optic cable with fast wireless connections.

There are two forms of 5G technology currently in use: Sub-6 relies on lower frequencies to deliver a much larger network, but the trade-off is that you'll receive only marginally faster speeds than you would with 4G. While mmWave connections rely on much higher frequencies that deliver dramatically faster download speeds, those radio waves can't physically travel long distances or make their way through obstacles like walls or even windows, which reduce signal strength.

T-Mobile delays shutdown of Sprint 3G CDMA network

Folks using Sprint’s legacy 3G CDMA network may have just won a slight reprieve, with a new report revealing that T-Mobile has pushed back the date of its shutdown by another two months. T-Mobile, which merged with Sprint in 2020, had planned to decommission the aging 3G network on March 31, 2022. However, The T-Mo Report has discovered that the carrier has quietly extended the deadline to May 31, 2022, instead.

The change initially came to light via a post on Reddit, where someone noticed the new date on the website of Softbank, which previously owned Sprint. Although T-Mobile hasn’t made a public announcement, The T-Mo Report confirmed that several Sprint customers with older phones received an email directly from the carrier. Those with phones that can’t use LTE were told that they now have until May 31, 2022, before the Sprint CDMA network shuts down. However, even this date may not be final. A footnote on the Softbank page adds that “there is a possibility that the date of May 31 will be rescheduled in [the] future.”
Sunsetting legacy 3G services
T-Mobile initially wanted to shut down the Sprint 3G network on January 1, 2022, but delayed it to March 31, when its partner, Dish, raised concerns that it didn’t have enough time to migrate its legacy customers over to the Boost Mobile network. When Sprint merged with T-Mobile in 2020, it was required to divest itself of its prepaid services, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, which were sold off to Dish to ensure the industry remained competitive. Regulators hoped that Dish could rise from the ashes of Sprint to take over the vacated fourth-place spot on the top carriers list.

Old phones will stop working with AT&T and T-Mobile. Here’s what to do about it

While carriers are blowing their horns about the various 5G networks being rolled out across the country, there’s a bit of sleight of hand going on that will affect some long-time customers. The 3G network we used to use for voice calls is going away.

Some carriers, like AT&T and T-Mobile, are still using 3G for voice calls on older phones. Newer phones use 4G networking for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) service. AT&T and T-Mobile intend to finally abandon 3G and switch entirely to newer network technology, and that will make some older phones obsolete.
