T-Mobile has worked with the Department of Defense more than 4,000 times. At least 11 of these contracts, according to research conducted by the coalition and shared with Insider, are for providing cell service to the Guantánamo Bay prison site. The contracts, identified by the coalition and reviewed by Insider, began in 2016 and are collectively worth less than $700,000. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/activist-groups-call-t-mobile-090000828.html

By Nick Vadala If you have Verizon Fios TV as your cable provider, you may run into issues trying to watch Tuesday’s highly anticipated Pennsylvania Senate debate between John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz. Oz and Fetterman will face off at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Harrisburg in the first and only debate ahead of the Nov. 8 general election. The debate will serve as many voters’ first time seeing the two candidates speak outside the context of the ads that have blanketed television and radio stations throughout the state. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/verizon-nexstar-pennsylvania-senate-debate-john-fetterman-mehmet-oz-20221025.html

The genuine text message mentioned a T-Mobile data breach from 2021 and said recipients were “eligible for benefits from a class action settlement.” By Jordan Liles A text message, email, or letter from Kroll Settlement Administration LLC directs recipients to visit the website t-mobilesettlement.com. In late October 2022, we received inquiries from readers who asked if a text message from Kroll Settlement Administration LLC about a 2021 T-Mobile data breach was a scam or legit. We can confirm that a message directing recipients to the URL t-mobilesettlement.com was a legitimate notification. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kroll-settlement-administration-tmobile/
