T-Mobile/Sprint Merger, Its Wacky Facets, and Travel Plans #211

If there's one thing we've learned as consumers, its that huge corporate mergers never work out in our favor. Freelance Writer, Editor, and Photographer for CNET and The New York Times, Geoffrey Morrison, discusses the proposed merger between T-Mobile and Sprint that has the attorneys general of California, Texas, and New York up in arms. There are a couple of weird facets about this merger that leave us scratching our heads, like its inclusion of Dish Network as a propped up fourth cell phone carrier. We also chat about the roll out of 5G internet and SpaceX's plans with low orbit satellite internet. Geoff also shares why he switched to Google Fi from T-Mobile, how to save money while abroad with your cell phone plan, and how to avoid getting financially destroyed by predatory travel packages.
