T-Mobile has slashed the price of its daily rate mobile broadband to only £2 a day and adding to its range of pay as you go broadband plans.

The mobile phone giant has also added weekly and 30-day pay as you go options for customers who need a mobile broadband connection for a little longer but don’t want to commit to a 12 or 24 month contract.

Simply buy a mobile broadband USB modem stick from T-Mobile (www.T-Mobile.co.uk) for £49.99 and you’ll automatically start on the £2 per day option. Topping up for either of the 7-day or 30-day plans - at £10 a week or £20 for a month - can be done direct from your laptop.

All of the new pay per day options have “unlimited” downloads with a 3GB fair usage policy so you won’t automatically be charged if you go over the limit.

Richard Warmsley, T-Mobile UK head of internet and entertainment, said: “We’ve seen massive demand for mobile broadband from a range of people, so we’re creating ways for customers to only pay for days they actually need. We have removed all complexity from the mobile broadband story, giving customers the confidence to simply pick it up off the shelf and start using it. Mobile broadband has hit the mainstream and we have made it simple for anyone to buy, use and understand.

“Our simple approach to pricing is also reflected in our fair use policy, T-Mobile is the only network that doesn’t punish its customers with run-on rates,” he added.

Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: “The mobile broadband market has really taken off in the past year and these pay as you go options from T-Mobile are a great way for anyone to get into mobile broadband without having to commit to the 18 or 24 month contracts that have become commonplace in the industry.

“The £2 a day option is perfect for anyone that needs to stay connected on occasional train journeys or days out of the office while the 7-day and 30-day options are great for anyone going on a business trip or on holiday - or who just doesn’t want to sign a long contract,” he concluded.
