T-Mobile

Uh-oh. Looks like T-Mobile's Full Monty subscribers in the UK will be getting much less than they'd originally bargained for.

Report after report points to AT&T marrying Dish Network after Ma Bell’s forced breakup with T-Mobile , but given the companies’ increasing belligerence, you wouldn’t think that was the case. AT&T is petitioning the Federal Communications Commission to impose network buildout conditions on Dish’s satellite spectrum –- requirements that would be passed onto AT&T if it acquired the satellite TV provider.

Each week, Androinica.com recaps new and updated Android apps that you may have missed or might enjoy.

So far, Google Wallet has its official US availability on NFC-compatible handsets limited by unfriendly carriers with their own mobile payment services in mind , but it appears that is no longer the case for Nexus handsets with AT&T SIMs inserted. Droid-Life reported the app is available in the market for AT&T-SIM'd HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus phones, which we were able to confirm on our own device (over any connection, as long as the AT&T card is in, switching back to a T-Mobile SIM made it disappear from the market again, although of course the app still worked).

Hey now!

Safely, a division of Location Labs, today announced that its premium Safely Family Locator has enabled more than one billion family safety location checks since inception.

The Nokia Lumia 710 on T-Mobile was launched (and available initially) for $49.99 with a new two-year agreement, but certain retailers managed to give the phone away for free, given you agree to the contract. However, the Lumia 710 is now listed online at T-Mobile for $39.99 which is ten dollars less than what we've seen officially from the carrier.

T-Mobile USA today announced the availability of FamilyWhere Check In, a new free service that lets members of family plans provide SMS-based location updates to others on the plan. Users can check in to specific locations and send an SMS with a map link embedded in the message. That map link can be viewed in any web browser so parents can see the whereabouts of their children.

AT&T has made a number of changes to its senior management team in the wake of its failed attempt to acquire T-Mobile USA. Ralph de la Vega has been named president and CEO of AT&T Mobility where he will focus on growing the company's smartphone business. Forrest Miller, a 30-year veteran of AT&T and the company's head of corporate strategy and mergers and acquisitions, is retiring.

Location Labs’ Safely, which provides mobile services that help parents ensure the personal security kids’ mobile phones, is revealing that its Safely Family Locator has enabled more than one billion family safety location checks since inception. These “locates” have been initiated by Family Locator subscribers across millions of child phones on carriers such as T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T.
