The affirmation came in a wide-ranging interview this week with the publication Ad Exchanger, during which Jessica Zhu, the company's head of advertising, said the company was able to determine which apps a customer had installed on their phone, how they were using them and which websites they visited in a browser. https://thedesk.net/2022/06/t-mobile-customer-data-android-selling-third-parties/ -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

By Antonio Villas-Boas - Jun 28, 2022 * T-Mobile has faster 5G and more "premium" data than Verizon for a lower monthly cost. * However, Verizon tends to have better coverage, especially in rural areas. * You'll need a 5G phone to make the most of any of these plans. T-Mobile and Verizon are often compared when picking a mobile carrier, as T-Mobile is more affordable than Verizon, and you might be wondering why. Despite this price disparity, T-Mobile gives you more unthrottled, "premium" data in the basic and mid-range plans compared to Verizon's comparable plans. Plus, T-Mobile has better international and travel perks than Verizon. https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/t-mobile-vs-verizon-wireless-unlimited-plans -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

In the coming days, Mulberry Tower's management hopes it will finally come back. Verizon phone service should be restored sometime next week, said property manager Kim Dempsey, citing a recent conversation with Frontier Communications. Frontier leases the lines, said Lori Ragaglia, assistant community manager. https://news.yahoo.com/phone-disrupted-senior-high-rise-001700534.html -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------
