Coolpad’s Flo is its first 3G smartphone in the US, heads to T-Mobile’s GoSmart network
Posted in: Today's Chili
Coolpad isn’t exactly a household name here in the States, but the outfit is otherwise known for its budget-minded offerings. Today, it is introducing the Flo, a 4.5-inch smartphone running Android Jelly Bean — the company tells us this is the first Coolpad device with 3G capabilities to hit North America. (Sorry, folks, no LTE.) Aside from that, the Flo also sports an undisclosed dual-core, 1GHz Qualcomm chip, 4GB of onboard storage (expandable up to 32GB) and a decent 1,880mAh battery. Customers using T-Mobile’s GoSmart prepaid service can snag one now for $99, which isn’t too bad if you’d like to save a few bucks during your holiday shopping.

T-mobile has launched its nationwide prepaid GoSmart mobile service. GoSmart is now available at over 3,000 resellers in the United States.
The service plans are not changing from what was offered at its trials. The $30 plan will continue to be sold with unlimited voice and text messaging but no mobile internet service. The next plan is charged at $35 and includes unlimited voice, and text messages and mobile internet offered at 2G browsing speeds. Lastly the company is offering a $45 plan with 5GB of data offered at 3G browsing speed, along with unlimited voice and text messages. The service claims no hidden charges or caps on their plans and in their tag lines put it as “No DUM caps. No DUM overages ” — you know, “FreeDUM in wireless,”
Customers can buy a SIM kit worth $8 which they can use with their own mobile phone or they have the option to buy Alcatel feature phones or ZTE android phones that are low end. Customers of GoSmart can also add unlimited international texting to 200 countries for $5 per month and unlimited text to 200 countries and unlimited landline calls for $10 per month.
T-mobile has now joined the ranks of Sprint, Virgin Mobile USA and Straight Talk. This move can have positive effects on competition and might bring even better priced prepaid plans from competitors.

GoSmart Mobile Launches Nationwide No-Contract Wireless Service for Budget-Conscious Consumers
It is time for FreeDUM in wireless.
GoSmart Mobile today announced the nationwide launch of its no annual contract wireless service for budget-conscious consumers, ending the era of DUM[TM] hidden fees, roaming charges and overly complicated annual contracts. GoSmart, a new brand from T-Mobile USA, offers affordable, no annual contract plans on a reliable nationwide network starting at just $30 per month.
With GoSmart, wireless customers get what they need – great savings and flexibility without the hassle. For example, customers have the choice of purchasing an inexpensive SIM kit to use in their own compatible mobile phone or they can buy a low-priced GoSmart phone. In addition, all GoSmart services are offered without limits. No DUM caps. No DUM overages. Just a very affordable service for calling, texting and Web surfing.
GoSmart is available online at www.GoSmartMobile.com and at thousands of dealer stores across the nation.
“You don’t need food bigger than your face, and you don’t need mobile phone plans that charge you more than you can afford for services you don’t want or need,” said Doug Chartier, senior vice president of marketing for GoSmart. “GoSmart is one of the simplest, most budget-friendly options in wireless, with unlimited plans on a reliable nationwide network starting at $30 per month.”
GoSmart’s launch comes as the no annual contract market continues to grow at a steady pace, fueled by cost-conscious consumers looking to reduce what they spend each year for wireless service. The number of no annual contract customers in the United States is expected to reach 80 million by the end of 2013 and grow an average of 7.4 percent per year until 2016, according to a report from market research firm IDC.[i]
“The influx of data services, coupled with the traditional flexibility and value of no contract plans, has considerably increased consumer interest in the no annual contract wireless market” said John Weber, Associate Research Analyst at IDC. “Customers often look for unlimited service plans on a robust network, while simultaneously limiting monthly wireless expenses. GoSmart represents a viable option for consumers to consider.”
