T-Mobile to Partner with 7-Eleven After Splitting with RadioShack

As the partnership between T-Mobile and RadioShack comes to an end, RadioShack announced recently that it is teaming with Verizon. Where does that leave T-Mobile? Embarking on a deal with 7-Eleven. The switch goes into effect in mid-September, and the convenience store chain will begin selling T-Mobile calling cards and the $30 LG GS170. T-Mobile’s lot in this situation looks a little grim, but the company is poised to be acquired by AT&T in the near future. [TechCrunch]

RadioShack has been struggling with its revenue and is relying on the September 15th brand switch to help make the company profitable again. Verizon’s previous partnership with RadioShack ended in 2005.
