This week it appears that T-Mobile USA will be heading to the dollar store for some fabulous feature phone sales on a Samsung tip. The device you see below is the Samsung t139, a device that T-Mobile will be offering at more than 6,400 Dollar General stores across the nation starting in July. T-Mobile’s prepaid and Monthly4G No Annual Contract services will be offered up on and in addition to this device soon.
This new action will bring on a Monthly4G No Annual Contract for $50 with unlimited talk, text, and Web – with 100 MB of data inside that “unlimited” plan being up to 4G speeds. Dollar General will also be offering Pay As You Go plans as well as Monthly 4G No Annual Contract plans. T-Mobile’s senior vice president of national accounts Amy McCune noted the following on the situation:
“Dollar General is the nation’s largest small-box retailer and a well-respected company that customers go to when looking to get the most for their money. This is a natural partnership to help bring Dollar General customers to America’s Largest 4G Network at an incredible value.” – McCune

Korea’s golden goose is on track to drop its 10 millionth Galaxy S III by July, according to Samsung mobile head Shin Jong-kyun. The expectation comes despite limited supply, fueled by a component shortage at the smartphone giant. Regardless of this notable shortcoming, Samsung has wasted no time getting its latest handset to market, and expects to deliver the 4.8-inch Galaxy to some 300 carriers in 147 countries by the end of next month, including all of the major UK carriers, along with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon in the US. The sky-high figure is merely an estimate, however, so investors may want to stay tuned for the official announcement before uncorking the Dom. Full details are at the source link below.
