T-Mobile prepaid customers will soon have the same Data Stash feature that postpaid subscribers have been enjoying over the last few months. Starting on March 22, prepaid customers can roll over any unused data from one month into a pool that doesn’t expire for twelve months. And, like it did for its Simple Choice subscribers, T-Mobile is giving each prepaid user 10GB of 4G LTE data to get started. The new Data Stash feature is a zero cost addition to the current plan and goes into effect automatically.

T-Mobile has an event scheduled for tomorrow in New York City where it’s rumored they’ll announce something business-related.

Verizon has become the latest wireless provider to offer up an incentive for its prepaid customers. Today sees Big Red announcing a deal for those who sign up for the Auto Pay billing feature. Effective immediately, anyone who enrolls in the automatic payment will receive an extra 1GB of data per month. Those who are already setup with Auto Pay will see an extra 1GB on their next bill.

• The $ 45 plan now includes 2GB when using Auto Pay
• The $ 60 plan now includes 3.5GB when using Auto Pay

It’s not clear how long this limited time deal will last. Other prepaid carriers such as Cricket Wireless and Boost Mobile are also dangling offers to entice customers to set up automatic billing.

Sprint on Wednesday announced the plus-sized LG G Stylo will be available on its network as well as two of its prepaid services.

Starting today, the 5.7-inch phone can be had at Boost Mobile for $ 199.99 with no contract. Powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop, the phone features a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and 5-megapixel front-facing shooter.

Given the size of the device you might hope for a stylus of some sorts and LG is happy to oblige. Additionally, you’ll find other custom touches such as QuickMemo+ and Knock Code.

The Sprint Prepaid brand will begin offering the LG G Stylo on June 7 where it will also carry the same $ 199.99 price tag. A few days later, on June 12, you’ll also find the handset at Sprint, too.

The post-paid version of the device will be sold with a variety of options including installment billing. The phone will cost $ 0 down with 24 monthly payments of $ 12 each for a grand total of $ 288.

Sprint is extending its rolling data feature to prepaid customers as well, giving them the ability to carry their unused data to the next month.

Sprint will now give prepaid users the ability to rollover their unused data each month, keeping a reserve of up to 30GB. With this, not only can customers bank their unused data, but the data doesn’t have an expiration date like it does with other carriers. These new plans are available exclusively from Best Buy.

Limited time promotion is exclusive to Best Buy

Sprint Prepaid is the latest wireless provider to let users accrue unused data. Today sees the introduction of Monthly Rolling Data, an option that allows for customers to bank up to 30GB of data.

Available immediately, this is a limited time deal that is exclusively offered through Best Buy. All Sprint Prepaid plans ($ 35 and up) are eligible to start setting aside unused data for use at a later date.

Compared to AT&T (GoPhone) and T-Mobile, the Sprint Prepaid feature comes out ahead, at least on the surface. T-Mobile requires customers to choose a plan of 3GB or higher for its Data Stash and only includes a twelve month expiration on data.

AT&T, for its part, only lets subscribers roll unused data for a 30 day period; Rollover Data is only offered on GoPhone plans of $ 45 and $ 60.

It’s not clear how long Sprint plans to offer the Monthly Rolling Data feature so our advice is to jump on it quickly. Remember, you have to to through Best Buy, though.

In terms of hardware, the AT&T phone packs a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB RAM. Internal storage is listed at 8GB with up to 3.1GB available to use. There is a microSD expansion card slot however it’s not clear what sort of capacity is supported. Over on the camera front the Maven offers a 5-megapixel rear shooter and a VGA unit around front.

Sprint on Monday announced a pair of LG smartphones for its Sprint Prepaid and Virgin Mobile brands. The LG Tribute 2 and the LG Tribute Duo share a number of hardware and software features. In essence, these are the same overall designs just named differently for the two prepaid arms.

The two handsets are powered by Android 5.1 Lollipop and include custom LG apps Quick Memo, Gesture Shot, and Knock Code. The twosome also offer users a 4.5-inch 854×480 pixel resolution as well as a 1900mAh battery.

Under the hood you’ll also find both devices running on a 1.2GHz quad-core processor. The main hardware is a generation or two behind the times, sure, but the price point reflects the aging internals. On a positive note, each is equipped to support the Sprint Spark 4G LTE network for faster data speeds.

The LG Tribute Duo and LG Tribute 2 are sold for $ 99 through their respective carriers. Sprint Prepaid offers the LG Tribute Duo while the LG Tribute 2 is sold via Virgin Mobile’s Data Done Right plans which are exclusive to Walmart.

If you’re in the market for a new phone, Verizon is offering a pretty good deal for anyone looking to get the LG G4. If you purchase LG’s newest flagship, the G4, you will get a $ 100 gift card. There is one caveat to this deal, however. You must purchase the device between now and August 12th, and fill out the necessary form in order to be eligible for this deal.

It does seem that you can either get this device via Verizon’s Edge program, or through the “normal” two-year contract pricing. One more thing to take note of with this deal, is that you must purchase the device through Verizon’s website, or from their brick and mortar locations. Meaning that you will not be eligible for the deal if you go through a third-party retailer.

LG G4 | SpecOut

The G4 has been subject to a lot of various deals since its launch. The latest promotion was through T-Mobile, where they reduced the full-retail cost of the device from $ 600 down to $ 480. There were also a couple of deals that were available from LG where consumers received some freebies for picking up the device.

LG G4 owners were able to get a free battery, charging cradle, and leather back directly from LG. This deal was so popular that when the initial promotion ended, LG decided to bring it back to try and drive some more sales. The other promotion was a Buy One Get One Free for their leather back covers for the G4. Both of these promotions have since ended.

Are you in the market for a G4? Let us know in the comments below if you’re looking at picking up the G4 from Big Red. If you already have the G4, be sure to let us know your thoughts on LG’s latest flagship device.

In an attempt to keep pace with rival carriers, Verizon on Thursday added more data to its prepaid rate plans. Effective immediately, customers on the $ 45 and $ 60 plans get 3GB and 5GB of data, respectively.

As an incentive, Verizon will throw in an extra gigabyte each month if you agree to sign up to its AutoPay service. In other words, let them automatically deduct your payment and you get free data. Should a user need more data, Verizon also offers individual buckets: $ 5 for 500MB, $ 10 for 1GB, and $ 20 for 3GB. The 500MB add-on is good for 30 days while the other two can be spread over 90 days.

Both rate plans also include unlimited talk and text as well as texting to Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.

T-Mobile is set to kill Mobile Money, the prepaid debit card program that the Un-carrier launched in early 2014. According to Fierce Wireless, T-Mobile has begun alerting Mobile Money users that the service will shut down on July 27. Additionally, users won;t be able to add money to their accounts or use the mobile app after June 27.

If you’re unfamiliar with Mobile Money, it was a quasi-banking effort introduced in January 2014 that very much stood out from T-Mobile’s traditional carrier operations. Users could sign up and receive a T-Mobile-branded prepaid Visa card that worked much like others of its ilk. The mobile twist was that users could access their accounts through a dedicated app to easily make deposits and manage their money.
