From the above specs, we can say that the Huawei Impulse 4G isn’t a powerhouse by any means, but you can’t really expect much more from a $30 device and you shouldn’t mind the 2-year contract that comes along with it. Yes! It will cost you just $29.99 on a two-year contract with AT&T and you will be able to purchase starting September 18th.
