From press.nationalgeographic WASHINGTON (June 17, 2009)—National Geographic has introduced the National Geographic Duet Travel Phone, designed specifically for the needs of the international traveler. The new handset supports two SIM cards and offers additional features useful for travelers, such as Bluetooth, a camera, FM radio, television and 1GB storage card. The Duet comes loaded with National Geographic content, including ringtones, wallpapers and travel-related videos from the National Geographic Channel. The Duet includes National Geographic’s pay-as-you-go National Geographic Travel SIM card, allowing affordable calling in 185 countries, free incoming calls in more than 80 countries and 30 minutes of outgoing call credit (for most countries). Users have the option of inserting another SIM card in the phone and having a secondary number and service. This option is perfect for those who need to retain their current phone number while overseas or who want a secondary number dedicated for business or family. The service also offers 24/7 toll-free U.S.-based customer service directly from the handset via a three-digit access number. The National Geographic Travel SIM card can be purchased separately from the Duet phone for those travelers who already own a cell phone that is compatible for international use. “Our service offers comparable international coverage to carriers such as Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, but at a fraction of the cost. In today’s economic environment, there is good reason to utilize National Geographic’s international cellular service when traveling,” said Sebastian Harrison, president of Cellular Abroad Inc. “The unique features of the new Duet handset perfectly complement the equally unique qualities of the service.” The National Geographic Travel Phone is available online through CellularAbroad.com, Amazon.com, Expansys-usa.com and other select retailers.

Verizon Clarifies Discontinuation of Grandfathered Unlimited Data: Applies to New Subsidized Devices
From macrumors.com Verizon yesterday made headlines for comments from Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo revealing that the carrier is planning to discontinue its grandfathered unlimited data plans when the carrier rolls out new shared data plans this summer. Verizon dropped those unlimited data plans within months of introducing the iPhone early last year, but customers who had previously been on the unlimited plans have been allowed to keep them, even through handset upgrades.
 Tim Cook and Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead introduce the Verizon iPhone in January 2011 Verizon issued a clarification to The New York Times today, noting that the loss of grandfathered unlimited plans will be limited to those customers purchasing new subsidized devices for use on the carrier. Users who do not upgrade their devices or who choose to upgrade at unsubsidized prices will be able to keep their unlimited data plans. Still, the change would appear to be set to affect the majority of Verizon’s current unlimited data customers, as most customers are interested in regular handset upgrades at subsidized prices. - Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so. Sprint remains the only major U.S. carrier to offer unlimited data for iPhone users, and the carrier has indicated that it will continue to do so for the next-generation device, even if it supports 4G LTE networks that could lead to consumers using more data capacity. Recent Mac and iOS Blog Stories
U.S. cellular carrier Verizon is planning to move its customers who still have unlimited data plans for their smartphones to its new family data-share plans as customers switch to LTE data plans. The iPhone was initially offered with unlimited data plans when it launched on Verizon early last year, but the carrier soon dropped the unlimited option in favor of data plans with allocations of data.
As these 3G unlimited data plan customers migrate to 4G LTE, they will have to purchase the company’s data-share plan (which Verizon plans to launch in mid-summer) and move off the $30 per month unlimited data plan. “Everyone will be on data share,” Shammo said. Verizon currently throttles its unlimited data users only when a particular cell tower is overloaded, whereas competitor AT&T slows its unlimited users after they use 3GB of data in a month. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson recently noted that his one regret about bringing the iPhone to AT&T was offering unlimited data. Sprint, the number three carrier in the country — and the only carrier to still offer unlimited data packages for the iPhone — has said it will continue to offer unlimited data plans for the iPhone, even if the next iPhone includes LTE, as is expected.

There has been quite a bit of talk this week concerning shared data plans, since Verizon Wireless CFO Fran Shammo revealed that the carrier would be putting a high priority on them when they launch this summer. Shared data plans have also been on AT&T’s roadmap for quite a while, as well. But T-Mobile hasn’t announced any intentions to offer them, and it doesn’t look like it will anytime soon either. 
Yesterday Verizon Wireless CMO Fran Shammo caused quite a ruckus when he stated that users on grandfathered unlimited data plans would eventually be moved over to the carrier’s new data share plans that are due to arrive this summer. Verizon has now clarified exactly how this will happen, and it really only matters if plan to get a new subsidized device. 
U.S. Cellular has announced the upcoming availability of the Samsung SCH-LC11 Mobile Hotspot device that will work with the carrier’s 4G LTE network. The LC11 was launched last year by Verizon Wireless, and can support up to five simultaneous connections with other devices. It can also use U.S. Cellular’s 3G CDMA network when LTE coverage is unavailable. U.S. Cellular will offer the SCH-LC11 in stores on May 21, though customers are able to purchase from the carrier’s online store now. The LC11 costs $49.99 after rebate and can be paired with a variety of different rate plans. 
Earlier this month, Google enabled carrier billing in the Google Play Store for purchased content such as books, music, and movies for T-Mobile and AT&T customers. As of today, Sprint customers can enjoy the same privilege, as the default option for Google Play purchases is now set to bill directly to a user’s Sprint bill. That leaves Verizon Wireless as the only major carrier in the U.S. to not support the new Google Play Store carrier billing features. 
Isis, the mobile payment joint venture between AT&T, T-Mobile USA, and Verizon Wireless, has announced a host of national retail partners that will accept its Mobile Wallet app as a form of payment. Additionally, the company revealed a list of local partners in Austin, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah that will accept the mobile payment system when it launches. 
Late last month, Samsung released a list of smartphones and tablets in the U.S. that it plans to upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. While the company laid out plans for AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless devices, it did not name any for T-Mobile, stating that it was still working with the carrier to determine the upgrade paths. Now the list has been updated to include T-Mobile’s version of the Galaxy S II, the Galaxy S Blaze 4G, as well as the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Unfortunately, we still don’t know exactly when these updates will arrive, but at least owners can rest easy knowing their upgrades are coming at some point. Advertisement:
