T-Mobile dangles carrot if you bring a friend

Sprint made waves this week when it announced its new 20 GB family and $60 unlimited individual plans, but it also drew the attention of its former merger partner, T-Mobile. As with its previous call outs of AT&T and Verizon, T-Mobile and CEO John Legere took some shots at Sprint's new offerings and introduced a new deal of its own. Beginning next Friday, August 29th, when a T-Mobile customer brings a friend to T-Mobile from another carrier both the new customer and the referrer will get unlimited 4G LTE data for a year for no extra charge.
While the deal applies to customers coming over from any carrier—AT&T, Verizon or Sprint-- Legere went after Sprint in particular when he posted the news on thecompany's blog, showing no love was lost between the potential merger partners. "Sprint's customers have suffered much. They've endured the Framily. They've endured America's slowest nationwide LTE network," said Legere. "And now again, the (ironically named) carrier has forsaken its loyal customers, offering its latest, "best deals" to everyone but its own current customers. It's hard to watch."
To take advantage of the offer T-Mobile customers just need to report their referralwww.t-mobile.com/referral and provide their T-Mobile number along with the number of the person they've brought over. This needs to be done within 30 days of that person's activation with T-Mobile, after which the company will begin offering the unlimited LTE data service or a bill credit for both of you if it's the end of your monthly billing cycle. If you already have unlimited 4G LTE on T-Mobile the company will give you a $10 monthly credit for the next twelve months when you refer a friend.
While T-Mobile and Legere seemed to refrain from going after Sprint during the months of merger talks, with that deal finally off the table the company is showing its ready to take the gloves off.

Hamas executes 18 in Gaza accused of aiding Israel

Hamas firing squads Friday publicly executed 18 Gaza Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel, a day after three of the Islamist group's top military commanders died in targeted Israeli airstrikes.
Nine men and two women were gunned down at an abandoned police headquarters, witnesses reported. Later, gunmen in black Hamas garb lined up seven hooded men outside a Gaza City mosque and shot them dead as hundreds watched.
The alleged informants were convicted by "revolutionary military trials" of revealing the locations of tunnels, rocket launchers and "resistance houses" that Israel destroyed, the Maan news agency reported.
Hours after the executions, a mortar shell fired from Gaza landed in a small farming kibbutz in southern Israel, killing a 4-year-old boy, the first Israeli child to die in the fighting.
The Israeli military said the shell was launched from beside a U.N. school sheltering Gazans displaced by the fighting, which began July 8. Early Saturday, an Israeli Defense Forces spokesman retracted that claim, saying Hamas, not the U.N., was operating the school, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his condolences over the boy's death and vowed that Hamas would pay a "heavy price."
Soon after, jets attacked targets in Gaza, and the military warned residents that more airstrikes were coming.
By early evening, according to the Israeli military, Hamas fighters had fired at least 117 rockets and mortar shells, and at least 35 airstrikes had been conducted in Gaza.
Palestinian health officials said that at least 45 people were wounded in one hit on a house in Gaza City.
Hamas rockets wounded five Israelis and damaged a synagogue. Just before midnight, sirens warning of rocket fire sounded in several Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip.
The renewed attacks came three days after truce talks in Cairo ended in failure.
Nearly 2,100 Palestinians have died in the six weeks of fighting, including 478 children and minors, according to Gaza officials and the United Nations. Two-thirds were younger than 12.
The death toll in Israel stands at 64 soldiers and four civilians.
