Amazon might be planning to offer Prime subscribers a pretty significant perk: free cell phone service.
According to Bloomberg, the company is talking with multiple US-based carriers about offering cheap — around $10 a month — or even free phone service to Prime customers
Right now, Amazon is supposedly negotiating with the three major US carriers (Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile) as well as the Dish Network, though it sounds like talks with AT&T have fallen off in recent weeks.
There are no details on what Amazon’s service might look like — whether it would offer the same level of service as you’d get going directly through Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T.
Carriers tend to offer more data at 5G speeds depending on what plan their users choose.
Given how expensive mobile plans can get, this could be a potentially interesting offer for Amazon customers.
