T-Mobile Mobile Broadband (www.T-Mobile.co.uk) has launched a new mobile broadband deal offering a free Samsung N130 netbook.
The free laptop deal comes with a 3GB monthly download allowance - so you won’t be automatically charged if you exceed your allowance - plus an ultra-portable netbook, so you can really make the internet mobile.
The Samsung N130 has a 10.1 inch screen and weighs in at just 1.25kg - making it small enough to fit in your bag. It also has a 160GB hard drive and a built-in webcam.
On the mobile broadband side, the package comes with a 3GB fair usage download allowance and a free USB modem stick, and costs £25 a month on a 24 month contract.
T-Mobile has also launched a new Compaq Presario notebook and mobile broadband deal.
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, added: “Free laptop deals are going to be even more popular in the run up to Christmas, allowing you to spread the cost of a new computer over 24 months.
“T-Mobile is also the only provider to offer a fair usage policy - so that you're not immediately charged if you go over your monthly 3GB download allowance. However, you should still keep an eye on your data as you could have your connection restricted or be asked to upgrade to a more generous - and more expensive - package if you regularly go over your limit.
“Install our free Broadband Download Monitor or log into your T-Mobile account to keep an eye on your data,” he advised.
