come. These vertical vestibules offer the ultimate privacy, so you can

public and is tired of people eavesdropping – or worse – just not
being able to hear, at all.

T-Mobile Revolutionizes Wireless AGAIN. Introducing T-Mobile Phone BoothE (Graphic: Business Wire)
From bustling urban streets to crowded coffee shops, it’s practically
impossible to make a call these days without the world listening in. Not
to mention, being an unwitting audience to someone else’s loud,
one-sided conversation can be annoying. In fact, studies show that
overhearing one-sided exchanges is
more distracting than eavesdropping on a conversation between two
people. Enter the T-Mobile Phone BoothE.
“It’s 2019 and people are walking around with a finger in their ear,
trying to have a conversation! The T-Mobile Phone BoothE solves this
problem,” said John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile. “The whole point of having
a mobile phone is so you can converse on the go, but there are certain
conversations that call for privacy. This is a major evolution in how we
think about mobility – now the busiest street corner can be your
cellular sanctuary.”
And these vertical rectangular cubes are packed with advanced
communication technology. When entering a T-Mobile Phone BoothE,
T-Mobile customers get:
-
Worry-Free Charging – Every Phone BoothEcomes with
power for your smartphone and even a compatible cord so you don’t have
to carry one. No more jockeying for wall outlets at that crowded (and
loud!) coffee shop.
-
Magenta Pages™ – A large vertical screen that seamlessly
connects to your T-Mobile smartphone – now, you can get up close and
personal with video calls or just enjoy a nice, big screen for better
browsing.
-
Social Mode – Snag a seriously upgraded selfie! The large
screen can also be set as a background of your choice – even your
favorite cityscape, and with advanced filtering technology built right
in, your lighting’s always *chef’s kiss.* And, set the magenta mood
lights from ‘tranquil’ to ‘party’ to make those pics pop.
-
Next-Gen Soundproofing - Video chat with your kids or parents
without annoying everyone around you, finish that…ahem…pointed
conversation with your spouse or take that embarrassing call from your
doctor without an audience.
