Can’t say I saw this one coming. With all the Father’s Days “deals” sure to hit retailers all over this weekend T-Mobile is trying to think outside the box. No, its not 5% off a leaf-blower. On Saturday, June 18th, T-Mobile is giving away a full year of FREE data for new customers (or even those with 18 months left on their contract) who sign up for the qualifying $70 “Even More Unlimited Talk, Text and Web” plan. The way it works is T-Mobile will give you a $10 credit (equal to a 200MB data plan) every month for 12 months ($120 total).
I can definitely see how this might push those to make the jump into Android who may have been apprehensive because they didn’t want to pay the fees for data. Couple this with a $150 Sensation or $80 G2X and your dad could be Androiding it up in style. But now its up to you to answer your dad’s calls every 10 minutes and explain how to change that dang wallpaper.
Oh, and don’t forget our Father’s Day contest we’re doing here at Phandroid where you could win over $1,200 worth of free Sonos gear for you dad!
