Tennessee School Giving Away 5G Smartphones With T-Mobile Service

Motlow State Community College in southern Tennessee is giving away Samsung Galaxy A32 5G smartphones with a year of free T-Mobile service to 2,100 students on its four campuses to “enhance online education” during the COVID-19 pandemic, said the school and the carrier Monday. The phones are preloaded with the Motlow learning management system so students can connect with their coursework remotely, they said. All services, such as unlimited hot spots, talk, text and data, are included and funded by “sources blended to support students negatively impacted by the pandemic,” they said.
