Hutchison set to take 3G phone orders next week

October 31, 2002

Despite news that Hutchison would delay the launch of their 3G service in UK, the operator will start taking orders for 3G phones next week in Italy. Italian consumers will be able to reserve 3G phones on the Hutchison website, while consumers in the UK can place orders later in November. Hutchison hopes to deliver the handsets to consumers in both countries before Christmas.

The news surprised many as early this week there were rumours of a 3G launch delay for Hutchison. The operator hopes for strong sales of 3G handsets in the run up to Christmas.

Next Monday, the operator will announce two simple all-inclusive pricing packages for the Italian market.

The cheaper package cost 85 euros ($83) per month and allows users to make 40 hours of voice calls per month to any network. It also includes virtually unlimited video conference calls, internet access and multimedia messaging as well as text messaging. NEC will supply the initial 3G handsets in Italy and will cost between 600 euros and 900 euros each.

The other price plan cost 140 euros a month and has the same level of services as before. Instead, users are not required to purchase a 3G handset and will have the option to upgrade their handset after a year free of charge.

Hutchison is the first to unveil their tariff prices and analysts believe other European operators will follow Hutchison's price plan.
