T-Mobile has been innovating the carrier game for the past several years now. While Verizon might be the best in the game, T-Mo is easily coming for their necks. Now, we’re talking T-Mobile partnering up w/ BMW for their 1st 5G-connected cars in the US.
So kicking things off will be the new 2022 BMW iX + i4 models to turn them into a moving Wi-Fi hotspot. This will add $20 per month to give your beamer unlimited data/voice calls w/o a phone present. This includes 200MB of roaming data, 5GB of 4G data per month in Canada + Mexico. Making it easily the most expensive hotpsot around, BTW.
You’ll be able to connect up to 10 devices at a time in your car. This works via a new eSIM so you’ll be able to bring your service w/ you & other BMW vehicles so as long as you’re logged into your BMW account.
I remember Cadillac was one of the 1st cars offering a mobile hotspot option many moons ago. Now T-Mo ain’t the only game in town giving cars Internet speed. AT&T is still powering GM vehicles & Verizon will start powering Audi starting next year.
So who’s looking to add this your new beamer or pick up one to take advantage of this feature?
