Mobile phone giant T-Mobile is giving away free laptops to customers signing up to its mobile broadband service.

Monday, 11 August 2008 by Garnet Roach garnet@consumerchoices.co.uk

Customers willing to sign a £30 a month mobile broadband contract - and stay with T-Mobile (www.T-Mobile.co.uk) on the 3GB a month contract for 24 months can now get themselves a free Acer TravelMate 5320, worth £349.99.

"[T-Mobile] is consistently the fastest of any of the UK networks"

The package on offer is the Mobile Broadband Plus, which normally costs £10 per month on a 24 month contract or £20 a month on a 12 month contract, and comes with a free USB modem stick and a monthly download allowance of 3GB. You also get inclusive access to T-Mobile’s hotspots for wireless access.

The Acer laptop has a 15.4" screen, 120GB hard drive and comes with Windows Vista Home Premium. It also has a built-in web-cam, a 5-in-1 card reader and is wireless enabled so that you can get online using your home wifi network or T-Mobile hotspots.

Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: “I always advise people to steer clear of 24 month contracts as they are over-long and you could miss out on better deals as you wait for your contract to expire - and at £30 a month, this is more than double the cost of Mobile Broadband Plus without the free laptop.

“Having said that, for anyone who is looking for a free laptop offer and a mobile broadband connection, T-Mobile is a good choice. Its mobile broadband is 'consistently the fastest of any of the UK networks', according to PC Pro magazine in August, and with a fair usage policy rather than a set download allowance, you’ll never pay more that your monthly flat rate - though you may well be asked to upgrade to a more appropriate package if you consistently exceed your limit.”

i think you should have more deals in place for people that are struggling as it is but cant afford computers or laptops so they will never get on in life especially the children
