https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/free-trialT-mobile is offering a free hotspot and 30 days of free service (or 30GB of data, whichever comes first) to "test drive" the T-mobile network in your area. The only catch is that it's for new T-mobile customers only. They do a phone number check and email address check to see if you've been a previous customer or not. I ordered mine Friday and got it today (UPS 2nd day air, with holiday weekend). Didn't have to provide anything other than name, address, email, and telephone #. So it's not one of those deals where you get a free trial, but automatically renews if you don't cancel. They don't ask for any type of payment information. No requirement to return the hotspot at the end of the trial period either.
Here's some information on the hotspot you'll get for free:

Good for staying in contact with NLG when you're on a trip somewhere without WiFi and in T-mobile coverage area. Thought I'd pass it on to fellow NLG members.
