Target to launch pre-paid mobile service on T-Mobile network on October 6th

Target will take on Walmart’s Straightalk brand with its own pre-paid wireless service, the company announced on Wednesday.

Dubbed Brightspot, the new service taps T-Mobile’s network and will offer unlimited talk and text with 1GB of 4G data for $50 a month. Unlimited talk and text with no data will cost $35 a month.

Just last week, the retailer launched a digital video service called Target Ticket.
