T-Mobile announced 4G Connect Tuesday, a new program that gives customers a free 4G data connection with the purchase of select notebooks, tablets, and Ultrabooks.
With the program, customers will be able to access the web from their device, straight out of the box, for free. Every device comes with 200MB of data included for two years from the purchase date, with additional contract-free data available for purchase if and when they need it. 1GB of data, for instance, will be an additional $10.
'We're trying to really challenge the model of contracts –- and provide a delightful, easy experience for customers," T-Mobile's Brad Duea told Mashable.
Traditionally, devices with built-in data have higher price tags at the store, and often require customers to sign a contract for data to be used on the device.
In this instance, data is available to anyone who purchases the product, regardless of whether they are a T-Mobile customer.
The first devices supporting the service include Windows 8 notebooks and Ultrabooks from Dell and HP, specifically the Dell Inspiron 14z and HP Pavillion dm1is. The HP computer is available at Target and on HP.com and the Dell computer is available at Dell.com.
In the future, T-Mobile plans to add additional units as well as partners such as Best Buy.
