T-Mobile, one of the largest mobile carriers in the US, has some goodies available for premium data customers starting January 25th. Customers who purchase a premium data plan which goes from 5GB to 10GB in data every month, can get the mobile hotspot feature for free.
What’s the catch? Well, you’ve simply got to ask. Customers can also ask for the mobile album feature which gives you 10GB of cloud storage for music, photos, video, and more. In the World of mobile and the many carriers, it’s a tough market and any way of differentiating yourself and giving more value to customers, is a good thing.
Via CNET :
“That’s $19.98 in additional value for signing up for the higher end plans. The features, however, won’t be widely promoted in the store, so customers will need to ask for them, just as customers have had to learn from word of mouth about the items on In-N-Out’s now not-so-secret menu. The offer is only available for a limited time.”
It’s worth noting that the merger with AT&T didn’t go through and the wireless carrier is looking to win back customers and re-establish itself as a solid competitor.
“T-Mobile still has an uphill battle. It’s now the only major carrier without the iPhone, a gap it hopes to fill eventually, but hasn’t had much luck with yet. The carrier said recently, however, that it could technically happen with the next version of Apple’s smartphone. It’s also the only major carrier not yet moving to LTE, instead relying on its HSPA+ network, which it calls 4G.”
Despite that, these promotions are sure to bring in more customers, that is of course as long as they know to ask.
Would these extras get you to switch to T-Mobile?
