Through the Unity Wireless Affordable Connectivity Program, you can get a discount of up to $100 towards purchasing Unity brand tablet service.

However, the Unity device is not completely free, as the receiver gets to pay a small charge towards the purchase price, which is a minimum of $ 10.01 deductible.
