Nest Secure cellular backup taps T-Mobile for coverage<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Nest Secure cellular backup taps T-Mobile for coverage:- This week the folks at Nest announced that their exclusive cellular backup provider for Nest Secure will be T-Mobile USA. At the same time, the folks at T-Mobile USA announced their plans to sell a Nest security package. With one and the other, Nest will have a backup for when users\u2019 power is out or their Wi-fi becomes disconnected \u2013 riding on T-Mobile\u2019s carrier coverage across the USA.<\/span><\/p>\n

T-Mobile announced their intention to become the first mobile carrier to have Nest services and financing available to customers. The T-Mobile Nest security pack includes several products and T-Mobile USA data coverage in the user\u2019s home for these Nest products exclusively.<\/span><\/p>\n

The T-Mobile Nest security pack includes:<\/span>
\n\u2022 The Nest Secure alarm system:<\/span>
\n\u2014 Nest Guard base<\/span>
\n\u2014 Nest Detect motion and open\/close sensors (x2)<\/span>
\n\u2014 Nest Tag key fobs (x2)<\/span>
\n\u2022 Nest Cam Indoor security camera with:<\/span>
\n\u2014 Nest Aware service \u2013 Intelligent alerts and 10 days of continuous video recording at a time<\/span><\/p>\n

When purchased straight through Nest, the Nest Secure alarm system starter pack (the same stuff as listed above, without T-Mobile coverage) would cost approximately $500 USD.<\/span><\/p>\n

Users that purchase Nest products from T-Mobile USA have the option of choosing the following. The Nest security package costs $240 down plus $10 per month with T-Mobile\u2019s Equipment Installment Plan. The $10 per month will last until the total payment of $480 USD is reached. In addition, a \u201cT-Mobile Nest\u201d plan will be required \u2013 that\u2019s another $15 per month, or $10 per month after $5 \u201cbill credit\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

So once you pay $240, you\u2019ll pay $25 per month, or $20 after $5 bill credit for 10 months, at which point the $10 cost will have added up to the total FRP for the equipment. The equipment will have , while the $10 T-Mobile Nest plan will continue as long as it\u2019s covering your Nest system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile Nest suggests that users will be able to purchase Nest Secure cellular backup for $5 per month or $50 per year. That\u2019d be significantly less expensive than what T-Mobile is suggesting \u2013 as such, we\u2019re investigating further. Stay tuned!<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE: Per T-Mobile: \u201cThis price difference is because the Nest price on its website refers to cellular backup alone, which offers unlimited cellular backup with access to T-Mobile\u2019s network. T-Mobile\u2019s $10\/mo (post bill credit) price includes cellular backup and Nest Aware, which provides intelligent alerts and 10 days of continuous video recording from your Nest Cam Indoor security camera.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
