Remember AT&T’s new $5 / €3.62 per day data plan for cellular-capable tablets that was announced not so long ago? Well, now T-Mobile has something similar to offer you, as part of its “uncarrier” program.

Targeting tablet customers, T-Mobile has announced its willingness to offer free 200MB of data per month for the entire lifespan of any tablet. The offer will become available for customers to take advantage of starting this November 1.

T-Mobile has scrupulously explained what it means to be able to enjoy 200MB of data every month. They translated it into 2500 emails, 800 Instagrams, 200 Vines or 200 minutes of music streaming. The deal aims to draw in customers who own a 3G or 4G LTE network-compatible tablet.

The carrier made it a point to assure customers that “there’s no bait and switch, no trial period, and no strings attached.”

On top of that, the magenta carrier also announced it would offer all of its tablets for $0 down, including Apple’s latest, the new Google Nexus 7 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1). However, this offer will be available for a limited amount of time.
