US carriers will soon start unlocking phones the easy way

It will soon be a lot easier to unlock a phone from America's top carriers — here's what you need to know

Posted by Derek Kessler on 5 Feb 2015 2:15 pm EST

The top five carriers in the United States will on Feb. 11 implement new unlocking procedures for smartphones, tablets, and other cellular devices sold on their networks.

AT&T BlackBerry Passport passes through the FCC

Posted by Bla1ze on 22 Jan 2015 11:58 am EST

In some slightly obvious but still somewhat surprising news, the AT&T BlackBerry Passport has just now slid through the FCC.

Posted by Derek Kessler on 7 Jan 2015 4:34 pm EST

There's a new BlackBerry Passport in town, and it's meant for AT&T's network. The phone sports a redesigned case on the outside, but on the inside is for all intents and purposes identical. But why a new design? Because AT&T wanted it that way. Here it is compared to the standard Passport where you can really see the differences between the two — AT&T's has a lot more gentle...

AT&T acquiring DirectTV

Posted by Rene Ritchie on 18 May 2014 5:36 pm EDT

AT&T has announced that they're planning to buy DirectTV.
