T-Mobile giving some free HotSpot @Home phones to loyal customers
I don’t know if T-Mobile has been reading my HotSpot @Home blog posts, but today when I got home I had a nice surprise on my door step. T-Mobile sent me a complimentary Samsung t409 HotSpot @Home mobile phone in “appreciation of my commitment to T-Mobile”. This actually couldn’t have happened at a better time since my wife just drowned her old i-mate SP5m at the water park last weekend. I tried to get her to use a Nokia N80, but she really likes the Windows Mobile Smartphone for the ease of smart dial, etc. However, for her independent candle business she makes a LOT of calls from home and actually tried the HotSpot @Home service when it was in early beta last year. I think I’ll sign up for the introductory offer of US$9.99/month for just my wife’s phone. They also offer US$19.99/month for all phones on the family plan, but no one else in my family needs the access. Thanks T-Mobile for the phone, now let’s see how improved the service is over last year when I tried it out.
