Mobile network operator T-Mobile is offering free access to a Wi-Fi network to its Web'n'walk subscribers.
As of today, the operator will give all new Web'n'walk mobile internet customers access to all T-Mobile Wi-Fi HotSpots at no extra charge.
For an extra £12.50 per month, on top of any Flext price plan, T-Mobile customers will now have access to both a 3G network nationwide, and what T-Mobile claims is the world's largest Wi-Fi network.
This offers more than 39,000 Wi-Fi HotSpots across the globe (and 1200 HotSpots in the UK) including the Starbucks chain of coffee shops, airports and some rail services.
Broadband speeds of up to 8MB/s are offered.
Without T-Mobile's Web'n'walk price plan, access to Wi-Fi costs from £5 for 60 minutes (one off or occasional access), or from £10 per month for a subscription.
Richard Warmsley, T-Mobile's Head of Internet on the Move, said: "We're the only network to include unlimited use of our own HotSpots. We recognise that it's a quick reliable connection that matters most, not the technology you use to get online.
"We also know that customers don't get bits and bytes so we focus on simple fixed price plans that never have any extra charges, no matter how much surfing you need. Now with our recent 3 network collaboration and the addition of HotSpots in our plans you can be sure that T-Mobile offers the best Mobile Broadband service in the UK".
