Are you looking to shave a few dollars off your monthly wireless bill? Boost Mobile might have exactly what you’re looking for if you don’t mind switching carriers.

Starting today, Boost Mobile will give you 10GB of high-speed data per line if you switch from AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon. Other than switching carriers, the only other caveat is that you have to sign up for a family plan of at least two lines. Plans start at $60 per month for two lines, or you can choose three or four lines for $85 and $110 per month, respectively. You’ll need to port lines over from either AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon in order to get the discounts.

The deal comes down to discounting the monthly service slightly while doubling the data. Normal monthly pricing for family plans that include 5GB of data are $70 for two lines, $95 for three lines, and $120 for four lines.

If the monthly savings isn’t enough to entice you, how about a free smartphone for each line? You can choose from either the Alcatel OneTouch Elevate, Motorola Moto E, LG Tribute, LG Tribute 2, or ZTE Speed. If you don’t fancy any of those phones, you can can opt for a $50 discount off another phone of your choice instead.

You have until April 5 to make the switch.

If you’re not familiar with Boost Mobile, it was created in 2002 as Sprint’s prepaid group. It utilizes Sprint’s network, which consists of a 4G LTE network that reaches 280 million people nationwide.

Sprint has a 50 percent off promotion as well, but it works differently. The carrier will knock 50 percent off your current AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon bill if you switch carriers.

T-Mobile’s 5G network just beat Verizon and AT&T (again)
T-Mobile smartphone.

T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T always claim to be America's best 5G network in their commercials. T-Mobile boasts this even more so, and as it turns out, it's true. During PCMag's annual Best Mobile Network test (previously known as the Fastest Mobile Network test), T-Mobile won over Verizon and AT&T as the Best Mobile Network for the second year in a row.

PCMag gave T-Mobile the title after testers drove 10,000 miles across the country to measure its performance against Verizon and AT&T. The test involved driving to 30 cities and six rural regions to test each mobile carrier's reliability using Samsung Galaxy S22+ smartphones. As expected, T-Mobile won that contest in 18 cities out of 30, followed by Verizon with eight and AT&T with four.

You don’t need a gaming phone to seriously love mobile games
asus rog phone 5 review game genie

As an avid gaming enthusiast, mobile gaming has always appealed to me. However, despite my best efforts to get into gaming on my phone, I butted heads with it just about every step of the way because I found touchscreen controls to be truly awful. I figured that, unfortunately, enjoying games on a phone was reserved for people with the cash to buy luxury gaming phones with fancy shoulder buttons.

I couldn't have been more wrong, and the solution was right in front of my face.
Early disappointment
Mobile gaming has been exciting for years, but I never quite felt like I was part of it for the longest time. This is partly because I didn’t end up with a smartphone until I was roughly 16 years old in 2014, and by this time I felt like I missed a lot of the app-based fun that I was constantly reading about online. By the time I did get a smartphone, a hand-me-down iPhone 4, I still didn’t really have a device capable of playing the cutting-edge titles being released as mobile gaming got more serious.
