3UK offers two new 3G price plans
October 1, 2003
In a bid to reach its goal of signing up to 1 million customers by the
end of 2003, 3UK unveiled a new £15 a month price plan that brings video
mobile services within the reach of low-end contract users in the UK.
3 also announced Football 500 and a new range of add-on content bundles,
which combined with existing price plans, bring the full range of video
mobile services, including video calling, to the 14 million people currently
on a monthly mobile contract.
VideoTalk 100: offering one hundred voice minutes a month, for a monthly
commitment of £15. As with all the VideoTalk price plans, VideoTalk 100
is designed to be easy to understand and the voice minutes can be used
within the UK to call any network, at any time. VideoTalk 100 offers great
value to anyone who currently has a contract and spends £15 a month or
more.
Football 500: 3 also unveiled a monthly price plan designed for football
fans. Football 500 is a £30 per month tariff that combines 500 voice minutes
to any network at any time with unlimited football video highlights and
text alerts. 3 now offers the most comprehensive mobile football service
in the UK - with video highlights, including near live goals, from Barclaycard
Premiership and UEFA Champions League games, as well as text alerts and
team news.
Video for voice: with this innovative offer, customers signing up to
any of 3's VideoTalk price plans will benefit from the 'Video for Voice'
promotion, video calls within the UK for the same price of voice calls.
Aimed at attracting customers to 3's video mobile network in the busy
Christmas sales period, the offer means that for 3 months new customers
can make video calls for the cost of voice calls and use video calls as
well as voice calls from their monthly bundle. The offer applies to customer's
initial 3months of a 12 month contract.
Add-ons: 3 is also introducing a range of add-ons designed to give customers
the flexibility to customise their mobile package to deliver the best
value. In line with all 3's price plans the add-ons are designed to be
simple and easy to understand. They include:
Add text: Aimed at text users, the £5 per month add-on covers 75 outgoing
text messages, bringing the cost per text down to 6.7p a text, a reduction
of one third from 10p
Add football: For £5 per month, 3 customers can access unlimited football
content, including Barclaycard Premiership and UEFA Champions League
video clips, video and text alerts and team news.
Add entertainment: unlimited access to 3's movies, classic comedy,
and showbiz content for £5 per month.
Add Unlimited: Unlimited content for £10 per month - football, showbiz,
movies, comedy, news, weather, location-based content and horoscopes,
plus video content from MTV, including live lounge performances and
Jackass.
The new price plans and the three-month long promotion 'video for voice'
will be available, from October 1st.
Bob Fuller, 3 CEO said: "Video mobile is here and 3 is the network that
will be offering customers better value this Christmas and beyond. The
new price plans are further proof of this commitment and they're also
a significant step forward in the way that we charge for our services.
The combination of new price plans, with one aimed specifically at Football
fans and add-ons, allows our customers to tailor a package that delivers
the best value for the content and services they really want. The video
for voice offer is the icing on the cake - it makes an already compelling
3 price plan even better value. "
Gareth Jones, 3 COO said: "3 believes that anyone with a monthly mobile
contract would get more for their money by switching to 3. The new £15
tariff extends the value for which 3 is known to the contract market as
a whole. If you have a contract, and there are over 14 million mobile
phone owners who do, 3 believes you would benefit by switching to a VideoTalk
price plan. Our new range add-ons are further proof of 3's commitment
to offer customers better value than they've ever had from a mobile network."
