Mobilicity outs new Huawei E1691 3G Data Stick for $80

Mobilicity has launched the Huawei E1691 3G data stick to support the growing number of consumers looking for an affordable and easy way to access the Internet from their laptops and tablets. For users living and working within the Mobilicity coverage area, this is a viable option for on-the-go access to e-mail and Internet.

The announcement will come as welcome news to Canadians who pay among the highest Internet rates in the world and, according to a recent research study by comScore Inc., spend over 43 hours a month on the Internet - almost twice the global average.

The Huawei 3G data stick is ideally suited for consumers who wish to access the Internet to check email, surf the web and visit social networking sites wherever they are, whenever they want, and for as long as they want - without worrying about getting an expensive bill for using more data than is included in their plan.

With its 180-degree rotating design, the new plug-and-play device accommodates usage in tight spaces and does double duty as a handy memory key (up to 8 GB) through its MicroSD memory card slot.

Pricing and availability The Huawei 3G data stick is available for $79.99; and Mobilicity's unlimited Internet Access plan is available for $40 a month. However Mobilicity mobile phone customers can bundle a monthly Internet plan for 50 percent off - bringing the cost of unlimited 3G surfing down to a low $20 a month.

The Huawei 3G data stick and Internet plans are available at Mobilicity stores and authorized dealers across Canada. Like all Mobilicity devices, the data stick is not sold with a device tab, credit check, nor does it come with a contract to lock a customer into a multi-year service plan, as is often the case with Canada's incumbent carriers.
