3 Italia extends business tariffs

February 13, 2004

3 Italia has announced two new tariffs plans for its business clients that aim to turn the Videophone, together with the laptop, into the ideal workstation for those who often work out of the office. Following the success of the 'Power' option, which offers 50 or 150 MB of data traffic for a monthly fee of Euro 25 or Euro 50, 3 for Business have introduced the 'PowerFull' and 'inTREnet.plus' tariffs.

PowerFull is for those users who do an intensive amount of mobile communication, at a cost of Euro 96 a month. Users get every week, 5 hours of calls towards the 3 network, fixed line numbers and other mobile networks, 5 hours of VideoCalls, 50 SMS, 25 MMS as well as 15 MB to surf the web, to read e-mail and to for access to the company LAN through the InAzienda service.

inTREnet.plus is created for those who communicate more with fixed lines as well as their own company. At a cost of Euro 25 a month, inTrenet.plus offers every week 5 hours of voice calls towards the 3 network and fixed lines, 5 hours of VideoCalls and 30 e-mail (sent/received from 3 Business Portal).

The tariff option Power becomes even more advantageous and easier to be use because it will be applicable also to e-mail. Since February 2nd all the traffic generated in 'dual box' mode, meaning using the videophone as a modem together with the laptop, is considered part of the data charged according to the special Power tariff.

Up till now there are over 900 Italian cities directly covered by 3, which corresponds to the 61% of the population. Due to the roaming deal with TIM, data transmission will be soon available also in GPRS mode, with the 'always on' functionality, in the areas not directly covered by 3.
