You’ve seen the news and the TV reports. A reporter, stood inside or next to an EE store slap-bang in the centre of London or Manchester. He lifts the handset, does a speed test and tells us how great 4G is. I could have done the same, but …
Today marks the launch of 4G here in the UK. Beginning with 11 cities, EE will also offer a fibre broadband service to some 11 million premises too. The company is throwing in £1.5 billion into this roll-out and their 4G network will expand by 2,000 square miles …
EE have today announced their pricing for the new 4G service which is going to launch in the UK in one weeks time, on the 30th October. Some very interesting points to take away from the full press release below including some services, data pricing, roaming information and …
Tucked away in a leafy part of London yesterday I was given the opportunity to have a play with EE’s new 4G handsets running on the brand spanking new 4G network. The handsets on show were the newly announced Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE, the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE, …
Pricing for the iPhone 5 has been revealed by Orange and T-Mobile. Hold tight, because if you want the cheapest iPhone 5 (16GB) free you’re going to have to stump up £46 a month. For that you do get 3GB of internet and unlimited texts, unlimited calls. If …
The new iPhone, to be launched this evening will, as expected, run on EE’s new 4G network. It’s been rumoured for a while that the new iPhone will contain 4G technology, and while EE would only say “other devices will follow very soon” yesterday, a source has confirmed …
Many months ago we performed some slightly unscientific speed tests and came to the conclusion that “traffic management” was active on certain mobile networks. Our tests at the time showed that a 3G / HSPDA connection never seemed to deliver more than 2Mbps whilst other networks delivered more …
Olaf Swantee, CEO of Everything Everywhere took to the stage at the science museum in London this morning and declared that his new brand EE is the future. The future of digital Britain, the future of telecommunications on these fair islands. It was a slick presentation, extolling the …
It may only be Tuesday and we’re yet to see what Apple have to offer (and I think we all know what that will be) but this week is already pretty exciting. We have our first concrete promise of 4G and from EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) and they’ve …
Now the cat is finally out of the bag. It looks like the network didn’t just go large, it went for the supersized option. The current roster of releases under the new EE brand is as follows: The Nokia Lumia 920 with its 1280×768 pixel PureMotion HD+ display, …
Orange is now history, as is T-Mobile, at least from a marketing perspective. Everything Everywhere has taken a back seat too, with “EE” being the new brand going forward. You can sign up for updates on 4G and all the latest info at their new site – ee.co.uk. …
Everything Everywhere tell us that they have something “Brand New” and will be introducing a new network technology today. We’re on site live with all the latest as it happens..
With just minutes to go until the Everything Everywhere launch we’re expecting the launch of 4G and possible handset exclusivity on the new faster network. The Financial Times is stating that the new Nokia Lumia 920 could be a network exclusive on EE. If Nokia could get its’ …
If you’ve been reading us at all, you’ve read that Nokia has announced its Lumia 920 Windows phone 8 flagship, the 4.5” beast with the pureview imaging technology that the Finnish company is touting to put them back at the top of the smartphone pile. What seems …
Barely a couple of days after Everything Everywhere announced that they have teamed up with Mastercard comes another announcement, this time from Orange, one of the partners in the EE stable. Some time ago, Orange launched Quick Tapp with the Samsung Tocco Light. This enabled NFC payments to be …
Everything Everywhere are launching a “wave and pay” service that means that your wallet or purse can be left at home and payments can be made via your phone handset that is equipped with NFC. The scheme being run in conjunction with Mastercard will allow payments to be …
Over the last couple of days you may have heard and read alot of coverage regarding 4G and the fact that Everything Everywhere have been granted a license for Britain’s first 4G network. When discussing this with people who love their smartphone but aren’t really followers of the …
Reaction Everything Everywhere – Ofcom’s decision to make 4G available this year is great news for the UK. Consumers will soon be able to benefit from the much greater mobile speeds that 4G will deliver. 4G will drive investment, employment and innovation and we look forward to making …
As regulars visitors will know we here at Coolsmartphone are supporters of 4G Britain, Everything Everywhere’s campaign to increase awareness of the consumer and business benefits that faster, more reliable fourth generation mobile services will bring to the UK. A very good example of these benefits can be see …
Some weeks ago we announced that Coolsmartphone became an official supporter of 4G Britain. Now another 8 companies have joined the calls to enable Britain to have a fully fledged 4G network as soon as possible. The new supporters are Kier Group, Macworld, Muzicall, Myallsearch.com, Net Trajectory, PC World, Stuff magazine and Zentek Forensics. This list goes …
Everything Everywhere, the company formed by the merger of Orange and T-Mobile have revealed a complete revamp of their customer service division with what they claim is a revolutionary change in the way their service is delivered. Everything Everywhere are to invest £50 million on stores, customer facing …
NFC looks like the technology that has been slow to take off but that is now gaining momentum. After Samsung and Visa announced a tie up for the 2012 London Olympics, now Everything Everywhere and Stagecoach have joined forces in order to launch the UK’s first Government-standard commercial deployment …
The sexy Xperia U, which we snapped in Barcelona, is now available on T-Mobile for a mere £15.50 per month. It’ll be hitting retail stores in the next few days and, during the two year contract, you’ll get 250MB of data, 500 texts and 100 minutes per month …

The merger of T-Mobile and Orange into Everything Everywhere took another step today with T-Mobile’s announcement of a home broadband service using Orange broadband’s unlimited plans. Orange Unlimited broadband plans are now available from T-Mobile telesales and are being rolled out to T-Mobile shops and the online shop. …
A fairly brief but self-explanatory email has just popped in from T-Mobile. They’ll be retailing the excellent HTC One X and the slim One S from this Thursday, so if you’re reaching the end of your contract or you’re looking to switch, check their site to get your …
OK. The title pretty much sums things up here. If you’re looking to get the Sony Xperia S on the T-Mobile network, click over there now to get it for £36 a month, and no up-front payment. If you’d like a bit more info before signing up check …
T-Mobile have joined many other networks in announcing availability for the slightly different iPad 3 new iPad. It should be arriving in stores today, with T-Mobile promoting the fact that their joint Everything Everywhere network and “advanced 3.5G rollout” can offer much improved coverage and speeds. You can …
Everything Everywhere have been given the green light by Ofcom to, in principle, use some of their 1800MHz spectrum to roll out LTE. T-Mobile and Orange already use 1800MHz for their existing 2G networks, but have enough “room” to roll out 4G LTE ahead of other networks, who …
If you’re looking at this on an Orange data connection then hello! This afternoon a large portion of the UK lost any sort of data connection. It wasn’t just traffic, there was no 3G or GPRS logo at all. Switching to the T-Mobile network didn’t do anything either. …
OK, story so far. We picked up some tweets from the T-Mobile UK Help Team stating that “Full Monty Tariffs have a max speed of 1MB/s”. A day later, and T-Mobile told us that this was a mistake, but still we were getting sent phone calls where customers …
We’ve spoken quite a bit about speeds recently. Our recent news item surrounding possible throttling on T-Mobile data plans caused a lot of controversy. We were told shortly after that the information provided to us by various sources was incorrect. But, it got me thinking… In my article …
Ofcom have had a re-think on their 4G auction. Earlier they were planning to reserve a slice of the new 800MHz spectrum (freed up by the removal of analogue TV) for Everything Everywhere. The joint network, which powers T-Mobile and Orange, operates on the 1800MHz spectrum for both …
Well, it seems to be for us at least. Just a week after whacking their prices up, we received this text today from Orange. It basically means that you’ll be roaming across to the other network and receiving 3G data if you need to. In theory you should …
OK, story so far. Everything Everywhere are running a 4G trial in Cornwall. Everything seems to be going well, with those on the trial enjoying around 11Mbps. Whilst this isn’t the fastest possible speed, it’s a lot better than the cabled broadband connection through ADSL. There’s some concern …
Last week we started hearing that the T-Mobile and Orange networks were getting ready to flick the switch on their 3G mast-sharing. Customers of both networks have been able to jump onto the other network when they lose signal for a while now but, due to various rather …
At last, the “big switch-on” is coming. Last year, as many of you may remember, Orange and T-Mobile began sharing their networks. Customers could enjoy the seamless swap-over to the other network if their normal network lost coverage. There was, however, one problem. Data roaming was restricted to …
Just 5 months ago Cornwall was chosen as the UK’s first county to get 4G. Everything Everywhere have now flicked the switch and are delivering 4G LTE technology to 200 people on the trial. It’s the first mobile (Everything Everywhere) and fixed line (BT Wholesale) broadband network collaboration. …
Orange and T-Mobile customers have now been able to roam onto the merged “Everything Everywhere” network for about a year now. It’s setup currently so that you roam across if your normal signal drops but it’s still 2G-only. There’s hope that this will change to 3G roaming sometime …
