What you need to know

  • Metro by T-Mobile and T-Mobile are coming to 2,300 Walmart stores and Walmart.com.
  • This deal more than doubles T-Mobile's retail footprint.
  • Metro by T-Mobile plans and devices will be available starting October 18 followed by T-Mobile November 1.

T-Mobile and Walmart announced that Metro by T-Mobile plans and devices will come to Walmart retail locations followed by T-Mobile plans and devices. T-Mobile services will be available in 2,300 Walmart locations as well as Walmart.com. T-Mobile is also looking to expand into around 1,000 Best Buy locations.

While T-Mobile already has retail locations across the country, this deal with Walmart will more than double T-Mobile's retail footprint.

Starting October 18, 2021, Metro by T-Mobile's three unlimited plans as well as affordable 5G devices will be available in Walmart stores and on Walmart.com. Metro by T-Mobile is a prepaid brand owned by T-Mobile. After choosing a new device and plan, customers will be able to activate their Metro by T-Mobile service online when convenient. SIM cards will also be available to those that wish to keep their current phones.

On November 1, 2021, T-Mobile's main postpaid plans will be available as well as T-Mobile devices. Customers will be able to choose from T-Mobile's unlimited plans including Magenta and Magenta Max, some of the best cell phone plans you can get. Magenta Max comes with unlimited premium 5G data, Scam Shield Premium, and even a year of Apple TV+.

Customers will also be able to chat with employees to decide which plan is right for them.

Jon Freier, executive vice president of T-Mobile Consumer Group said:

In many parts of the country, limited competition when it comes to wireless service leaves some people with few options for plans or access to the benefits of 5G.

5G for All means T-Mobile is bringing real choice and competition in wireless to many Americans. And even though online shopping continues to grow, we know that retail stores remain one of the primary places where wireless customers pick up devices and services. We're working to expand our retail footprint across the country to meet more people in more places every day."

T-Mobile also uses its 5G to provide home broadband internet service to many people that have either had no choice for broadband internet or only limited options. This service is now available to more than 10 million rural households.

T-Mobile has built the largest 5G network currently available with 305 million people covered including in many rural areas. T-Mobile also now covers more than 165 million people with its faster Ultra Capacity 5G using the mid-band coverage it got from Sprint. T-Mobile plans to cover more than 200 million people with Ultra Capacity 5G by the end of the year.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
