You can get a Personal CellSpot sent to you just by dropping into a T‑Mobile store or calling Customer Care - as long as you have a high-speed broadband connection and a Wi-Fi calling capable smartphone. The Personal CellSpot is like a T‑Mobile tower in your house, built on proven Wi-Fi technology. Get a “full-bars” T‑Mobile experience wherever you choose even beyond the reach of any cellular network. The Un-carrier is also extending its coverage to the skies with the launch of free Gogo in-flight texting starting today. Through this exclusive partnership with Gogo, T‑Mobile customers will be able to send and receive unlimited text and picture messages, and even get visual voicemail, on any Gogo-equipped flight on U.S.-based airlines – which is more than 75% of domestic flights carrying close to 300 million people last year. With this latest Un-carrier™ move, T‑Mobile is reaching where no cellular network has gone before and accelerating the Un-carrier movement to bring more freedom and fairness to the U.S. wireless industry.
