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.

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.

5G coverage map: Where you can get 5G on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile
Qualcomm 5G at CES 2019

Gone are the days when 5G was just a buzzword and deployment was experimental. Today, 5G is an established worldwide networking protocol built into most high-quality and flagship mobile devices. 5G stands for fifth-generation mobile technology, and it's destined to replace 4G (and older protocols) worldwide with speeds up to 100 times faster.  Not only is it faster, but it is also more responsive for overall coverage and reception. That means faster uploading and downloading of documents, images, and videos. For home use, it means replacing fiber-optic cable with fast wireless connections.

There are two forms of 5G technology currently in use: Sub-6 relies on lower frequencies to deliver a much larger network, but the trade-off is that you'll receive only marginally faster speeds than you would with 4G. While mmWave connections rely on much higher frequencies that deliver dramatically faster download speeds, those radio waves can't physically travel long distances or make their way through obstacles like walls or even windows, which reduce signal strength.
