3 Sweden launching 3G service today
May 5, 2003
3 Sweden, the Nordic start-up mobile operator backed by Hutchison Whampoa,
start to take pre-bookings in the first retail outlets in their national
distribution network and in their stores at Stureplan in Stockholm, Kungsportsplatsen
in Gothenburg, and Hamngatan in Malmoe.
“Mobile video communication provides new opportunities to enrich
communication for our customers. We have started to develop the usage
in all aspects from child health care, sport and business”, says
Chris Bannister CEO at 3. “We are the first to provide mobile video
communication, and others will follow us. People can today make a video
call (MoVi) as natural as we have been making voice calls for the last
decade.“
3, the first Swedish mobile carrier to offer 3G services, today have
also started a marketing campaign based on outdoor advertisement, TV,
internet, newspaper, magazines and tactical activities to meet with customers.
“We offer today mobile video and other advanced services at attractive
prices for the frequent user of mobile communication. Trough our offering
you will be first with mobile video and get attractive prices on voice
calls by choosing the package that corresponds to your current usage of
the mobile,” says Fredrik Landahl, Marketing Director of 3. “We
give more value for the money.”
Customers who pre-book the mobile before 10 June get the NEC e606 for
SEK 3500 (ord. SEK 5695) and the NEC 808 for SEK 4400 (SEK 6559). Delivery
will take place within 31 working days.
Customers can choose between the Blue and the Green packages depending
on needs and current usage. In addition the customers can choose the Red
package, which gives more MoVi (video services). Customers who take the
Red package get a monthly rebate in 24 months , which corresponds to the
value of the 3mobile (SEK 5695 or SEK 238 per month).
For the Blue and the Red packages combined, the cost is SEK 349 per month,
includes 450 minutes talk time (on the 3 network and fixed network), 50
MoVi clips (via MMS), 50 SMS, 50 minutes of MoVi, 100 e-mails and SEK
100 worth of content services.
For the Green and the Red packages combined the cost is SEK 679 per month,
includes 1250 minutes talk time (on the 3 network and fixed network),
100 MoVi clips (via MMS), 100 SMS texts, 50 minutes of MoVi, 100 e-mails
and SEK 100 worth of content services.
Consumers are offered to pay the mobile over 24 monthly instalments.
Three said around 5,000 people who have expressed interest will get handsets
over the next few weeks.
3 will offer voice coverage in areas outside its 3G network through a
roaming agreement with Vodafone Sweden until its own network is complete.
The agreement, doesn't include mobile Internet services so 3 subscribers
won't be able to send MMS when using Vodafone's network.
3 currently has a 3G network covering about 50% of the Swedish population.
Internationally, 3 have roaming agreements with around 300 operators in
about 100 countries.
