T-Mobile will launch a 4G Mobile Hotspot and new smartphone plans tomorrow, April 13. The ZTE-made hotspot will supply up to 21Mbps for as many as five devices and can share its SD card slot with other devices on the network. It should cost $80 after both a two-year data contract and a $50 mail-in rebate.
The smartphone plans are a pair of mostly unlimited offerings. Both a regular, Even More plan at $80 on a contract and a $60 Even More Plus plan for full-price device buyers give callers unlimited voice and text messaging in the US. Data is also technically unlimited, although T-Mobile reserves the right to throttle the speed starting from 2GB upwards instead of the usual 5GB.
A typical T-Mobile smartphone owner uses about 1GB per month, the carrier claims. The plans are available for an unspecified “limited time.”
