14 DAY TRIAL // T-Mobile has just announced a partnership with Walmart through which the carrier's customers will benefit from a new, $30 unlimited web and text monthly 4G prepaid service plan, available exclusively via more than 2,200 Walmart stores around the country, as well as online at both companies.
The new plan is expected to become available starting with October 16th, and should provide users with great value on a new 4G data offering with no-annual contract.
Moreover, the duo notes that the new deal will provide Walmart customers with access to T-Mobile's 4G network, which delivers increased data transfer speeds, greatly appreciated by a large number of Walmart customers.
“Walmart is proud to offer our customers fast and affordable mobile options, especially as texting and social networking become a regular form of communication,” said Seong Ohm, senior vice president of entertainment, Walmart U.S.
“Together with our suppliers we continue to ensure the products our customers want and need — from the latest smartphone and TV to groceries and toys — are available at every day low prices.”
The new $30 (around 22 Euros) per month offering will provide users with unlimited data, but only the first 5 GB will be available at up to 4G speeds. The offering also includes 100 minutes of talk, with 10 cents per minute after that.
Moreover, the retailer expands the T-Mobile devices offering with six new phones, including the first 4G prepaid handset at Walmart.
“T-Mobile is thrilled to offer this exclusive, affordable service plan, designed specifically with heavy text and data users in mind, to meet the demand for prepaid, which is expected to double by 2015,” said Amy McCune, vice president of national retail, T-Mobile USA.
“Walmart is known for providing consumers incredible value, making T-Mobile an ideal partner, and T-Mobile is delivering great prices, convenient options and a reliable nationwide 4G network, which we know Walmart customers appreciate.”
The new Monthly4G plan will provide users with access to wireless service for 30 days. Those who would like to benefit from the enhanced speeds available on the 4G network will have to own an HSPA+ capable device.
