T-Mobile Announces New Prepaid Mobile Broadband Passes Launching Sunday

T-Mobile has announced a new slate of prepaid mobile broadband passes with more reasonable rates for its slate of tablets and modems. The new plans are geared towards short-term and mid-term use and are as follows:

• 300MB 1-week pass for $15
• 1.5GB 1-month pass for $25
  
• 3.5GB 1-month pass for $35
• 5GB 1-month pass for $50

Interestingly, Walmart will be launching the following plans on the next day, but these will be limited to devices directly sold by the retailer with its own device block, although in practice, such plans were also available with online or phone activation:

As T-Mobile continues to struggle with losing postpaid subscribers, it is now turning to prepaid services to shore up the losses from those subscribers, especially by offering better mobile broadband offerings than the competition and Walmart’s own offerings remain even more competitive for those savvy enough to consider the retailer as a purchase option for the service.
