In order to extend its reach in the digital home and beyond, Charter Communications is launching Spectrum Mobile, its cellular network service. Spectrum Mobile is entering the Wisconsin mobile market soon, with two plans available: unlimited data for $45 a month and a $14 per gig of data plan. The second largest cable provider in the United States, Spectrum has coverage over Wisconsin for its home internet, cable TV, and landline phone services already from Green Bay to La Crosse and beyond.

For now, new Spectrum Mobile customers will need to buy or enter an installment plan for a new mobile device through the company. The company said it plans to expand its device options and add the ability for customers to bring their own device later this year. Spectrum has both Android and IOS devices.
Charter said the approach to add wireless services came from recognizing that mobile devices are used extensively inside the home.
“As an intelligent connectivity provider, Spectrum Mobile brings unprecedented flexibility and value to the wireless marketplace,” said Danny Bowman, chief mobile officer for Charter in a news release. “Spectrum Mobile gives customers the freedom to use their favorite devices the way they want, saving them hundreds of dollars annually off their mobile bill, all while reaping the benefits of Charter’s superior, value rich network and services.”
The plan will be available in large metro areas like Milwaukee and smaller towns like Lyndon Station.
