3 launch £0 per month contract, free Skype-to-Skype calls and IM
3, the mobile phone operator, has announced that from the 17 June, customers will be able to get the UK's first £0 a month contract service.
Called SIM ZERO, the operator hopes to make its money from people making phone calls rather than paying an up front fee to get connected.
As a lure to entice new users to ditch other services, 3 will offer free Skype-to-Skype calls and IM in the hope that customers will make the odd "real" phone call.
Where once the £35 a month contract was common place, prices are now falling", says Andy Nuttall, Head of Pay Monthly.
Customers of the contract will also get free voicemail in the UK for the 1 month minimum term contract.
Call prices will be 20p per minute for all standard calls, 10p per text, and 30p per MB of data within the UK.
The offer won't come with a handset, instead requiring people to bring their own.Three.co.uk (3 Mobile) Vouchers: Free £10 Accessory Voucher off 29.99 - pp19110952, £3.00 per month - 3MBB3OFF, 25% - EZP21, £20 Promotional Accessory Voucher off 15.00 - HS22120725, £20 - HS08110726

BOFH_UK:
Gotta say, I think people are being very harsh on this deal. It's no worse than PAYG in terms of on-going call costs and for low volume users you have the convenience of not having to top up, free voicemail and skype calls. Is it for everyone? Nope, not at all. But I can see this being useful to low-volume users especially if you've got a spare 3 handset floating around that can Skype and want free calls to other Skype users. Voting it cold seems unfair as there IS value and convenience here over PAYG for some users.  Thanks, that's what I thought! |
