T-Mobile 4G LTE Tablets Drop to Wi-Fi Prices with 1GB of Free Monthly Data

It is day 2 of 3 for T-Mobile’s trifecta of un-carrier announcements. Yesterday they announced the Simple Starter plan that gives you unlimited talk, text and 500GB of data for $40 a month.

Today they announce a new way of doing business in the tablet arena. Taking the silly cost increase of a 4G LTE tablet model and giving it the same price tag as the Wi-Fi only variant. That essentially knocks $112 of the Galaxy Tab 3 and $130 off the 16GB iPAD Air.

Operation Tablet Freedom begins on April 12th and kicks off with something a bit more than a price reduction on 4G LTE enabled tablets. If you bring a tablet, buy a tablet or trade a tablet for a tablet, you can pick up 1GB of 4G LTE per month for free for the rest of the year. Pair that with the 200MBs of free data they are offering regardless, and you get your hands on 1.2GB of data for nothing.

There are a few rules and details of course, like it has to be added to your voice account and is free after a $10 monthly credit. Still, free data is free data. Makes me consider a tablet a little more seriously now.

Any takers out there?
