Free T-Mobile HotSpot @Home phone and service for a year!

[-MrBigster-]

Found this cool article stating...

"T-Mobile USA, the fourth largest U.S. carrier, is giving away the T-Mobile HotSpot @Home phone and service for a year to the first 100 people who show up at the Sixth Avenue store in Seattle on July 3."

You do have to show up in a robe. The OP didn't put that as the requirement.

NYC is on the giveaway list, plus have the chance to win a tv, and other prizes.

I went anyways. The line was crazy. T-Mobile out did theirselves.

The giveaway includes, 2000 Whenever Minutes (no N/W), Unlimited M2M, 1500 messages sent, 1000 received, My-Faves, Hotspot@Home service, router, Samsung T409 (thats what they gave out in NYC), and T-Mobile Web. The service ends on July 4th, 2008. All valued at $1,500. I am happy, since the giveaway includes all of that. That right there on a regular plan would cost mad money maybe in the hundreds a month.

They gave out free robes to people in the line that didn't have a robe. Z100 was there in NYC.

Holy cow! That sounds like an employee plan! Ummmmmmm... so it's free for only 1 year right? What happens after 1 year is up? Does the recipient start paying $300/mo or something crazy like that? :confused:

lol pretty much is

[terryjohnson16]

Now, I have to decide how I am gonna use it. I have my $45.99 1000 Minute plan with Unlimited N/W. Too bad Samsung didn't put an MP3 player in the phone with an expansion slot. Maybe they thought it would slow down sales of the T619.

I don't know. I have to call their special number to find that out. I will not be paying $XXX for those features.

Man... that sounds like a KICK *** plan! Hope it won't be too expensive afterwards! Too bad there's no "Family Employee Plan" type thing made available as well... :D

[anfrey]

can you not say ass?

[terryjohnson16]

I just checked on My-tmobile for this new line they gave me, and it say that I have the first incoming minute free.

[terryjohnson16]

Wait, wait hold up. I just checked on My-Tmobile on the phone using T-Zones, and it says that I have the Employee Myfaves 2000 minute plan for $9.99.

I bet it is considered cheaper for them to set up the free accounts as employee plans. Wouldn't it be great if they would let you start paying the $10 at the end of the year and continue the account? I bet they won't. I venture to guess they will require you to go on some sort of contract plan to continue service.

But Still... Who can complain about free cell service for a year, with Wifi as a bonus!

I am about to call them to see how much this line will cost at the end of the promotion.

So how much will that line cost at the end of the promo? Or do you have to switch to a "regular current plan"?
