T-Mobile is giving everyone a free cell tower
- 9 years ago
T-Mobile wants to obliterate any notion that its coverage is inferior to the competition.
The cellphone carrier announced Monday that all T-Mobile customers with a "Simple Choice" plan can now receive a free mini cell tower for their home. The 8.5-inch square gadget blasts out T-Mobile's 4G-LTE network to a 3,000-square-foot radius.
What T-Mobile announced Monday is different: The mini tower (T-Mobile is calling it a CellSpot), lets customers connect to T-Mobile's cellular network -- not Wi-Fi. That means in places where they received one or no "bars" of service, they'll now get a full, speedy connection. "The big difference between us and the carriers is that they'll do absolutely everything they can to bleed you dry," said John Legere, T-Mobile's CEO, in a statement. "We'll do absolutely everything we can and use every proven technology available to give you the best coverage possible."
