T-Mobile is offering its customers what it says is the first pay-per-day mobile broadband service.

Web’n’walk Plus Daily gives T-Mobile customers wireless broadband internet access without needing a contract.

Users do not need a fixed line and connect to the internet via a T-Mobile USB modem and their T-Mobile mobile phone.

However, the service is not cheap. Users will be charged £4 every time they log onto the internet via this service. T-Mobile has also introduced a fair use policy of 3GB (of data sent and received in the UK) per month, which it says will “ensure a high quality of service for all customers”.

If users exceed this allowance, they will be given a warning the first time. If it happens again they will have network protection controls applied to their account resulting in a reduced network speed for 14 days.

Repeat offenders will be kept on the network protection controls, resulting in a reduced network speed until they upgrade their price plan and go onto a monthly contract. This will entitle them to a larger data allowance.

The Web’n’Walk Plus package, which allows people to browse the internet, email, download or stream data and send instant messages to £20 a month. Meanwhile, Web’n’Walk Max, includes internet telephony service such as Skype, and will cost £35.

The service will be available from 1 November.
