NBA Stars Sport the MyTouch 3G in New T-Mobile Ads

t-mobile-mytouchWe suppose people started complaining about getting that darn Cat Stevens song stuck in their heads after watching T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G commercials because today the wireless provider has struck up a new advertising campaign. NBA stars Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard and even Basketball vet Charles Barkley are aiding T-Mobile in its new ad campaign for the myTouch 3G Android phone, and luckily these commercials don’t feature “If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out,” or any sort of remix of it either.

T-Mobile says the new campaign focuses on Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic and Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, and highlights that the myTouch 3G can be a true reflection of a person’s personality, inside and out. The Dwyane ad will debut during the TNT T-Mobile Half Time Show during the Heat vs. Magic game today, Dec. 17. You can see the Dwight Howard ad first on Friday, December 25 during the Magic vs. Celtics game on ABC.  Here’s a sneak peek at the D. Wade ad:

T-Mobile is leaving AT&T and Verizon in the 5G dust

Ookla has just published its latest market report revealing where U.S. mobile carriers and smartphone manufacturers stand in terms of providing the best 5G and 4G/LTE services.

Not surprisingly, T-Mobile remained in the top spot during the fourth quarter of 2022, eclipsing its rivals when it comes to median download speeds. What may be more surprising is that T-Mobile has increased its lead, clocking in at 151.37Mbps overall and 216.56Mbps for 5G, breaking the 200Mbps barrier for median 5G speeds across all bands for the first time.

It’s late 2022, and Verizon and AT&T still can’t beat T-Mobile’s 5G network

It’s been 10 months since Verizon and AT&T flipped the switch on their new C-band 5G spectrum, but it appears both carriers still have their work cut out for them if they want to catch up to T-Mobile.

Market analyses and independent tests have agreed for years that T-Mobile is the fastest and most reliable 5G carrier in the U.S. That’s not surprising as it had a massive advantage by holding licenses for the crucial midrange spectrum that provides the best balance between range and speed. While Verizon’s early high-frequency mmWave rollouts allowed it to boast raw speeds that were significantly faster, those were confined to about 1% of its subscriber base.

T-Mobile adding a free year of Apple TV+ to its most expensive plans

T-Mobile today announced that it's giving subscribers to its most expensive mobile plan a free subscription to Apple TV+, which normally costs $60 a year. Those who are subscribed to the Magenta Max plan — which costs $85 a month for a single line — will get Apple's streaming service for free. If you've got T-Mobile's Magenta plan, which costs $70 a month for one line, you'll get six months of Apple TV+ for free.

The perk takes effect on August 31, 2022, and it's good for the foreseeable future. (A previous version of this story stated it was just for one year, but that's legacy copy on T-Mobile's website for the old perk that's being supplanted.)
