We have good news for current HTC ThunderBolt owners and new buyers of the Samsung Droid Charge. You'll get free 4G LTE Verizon Wireless mobile hotspots with both super smartphones until June 15. The bad news is that, after June 15, you may have to pay $20 for a 2GB allowance after the promotion ends.
Previously, Verizon extended the free hotspot offer at the end of April before the delay of the release of the Samsung Droid Charge. The June 15 end date of the free mobile hotspots was announced on the Verizon Support Twitter page.
Later, a separate Twitter update changed the pricing, not-known-yet.
The Samsung Droid Charge lets you connect to up to 10 mobile hotspots, which could be a lot of super fast Verizon Wireless 5G-rated 4G LTE network data.
The Samsung Droid Charge also comes with a $25 Samsung Media hub credit for viewing movies.
The Samsung Droid Charge is the toughest competitor to the well-reviewed HTC ThunderBolt that now holds the top smartphone position at Verizon Wireless.
