It appears they’re letting you know that you can maintain control over your VZW account, even when you’re away. Check minutes used, data remaining, and other account features from your handset.

- AT&T’s WiFi deal with Starbucks keeps getting sweeter. Now, AT&T customers with laptop broadband cards can switch over to WiFi at AT&T hotspots. This allows them to access faster speeds. There are currently 17,000 AT&T WiFi hotspots nationwide, with more to come as they roll out at Starbucks.
- The nation’s No.1 provider will also start offering insurance on all devices starting June 2. Their insurance policy was previously limited.
- It seems that Sprint is dragging down wireless customer satisfaction numbers. While AT&T and Verizon continue to improve, Sprint continues to regress. You can say what you will about their other problems, but this looks like No. 1.
- T-Mobile will launch the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone on May 28. It’ll be $49.99 with a two-year deal, and comes with a 1 GB microSD card — and a greeting from Panic! At the Disco.
