UK : From 1st June, 3 will give prepay customers free texts and internet use with every top up. 3Pay is the only plan where the perks last for 90 days, not 30 days like other networks.
Every 3Pay customer will get free 3-to-3 calls, free Skype calls, free access to voicemail, and be able to use Windows Live Messenger, regardless of what their balance is. When they do top up, they’ll receive a bundle of free texts and be able to make the most of the internet without having to worry about eating into their credit.
3Pay has a range of benefits, such as…
Liz Richardson, Head of Pay As You Go at 3, says: “So often Pay As You Go customers are overlooked and aren’t offered the same great value packages and perks as those who pay monthly. 3Pay will give customers access to a range of features that will last for 90 days, three-times longer than the other networks. In a groundbreaking move, our freebies don’t stop just because a customer has used up all their credit.
“We want to change mobile forever and with a network designed and built for the Mobile Internet, we can offer our Pay As You Go customers free internet and free internet calls with Skype, not just bog-standard text and talk bundles. All our Pay As You Go customers will get a 150MB mobile internet allowance. That’s enough to check Bebo or Facebook over 100 times, view 200 web pages or send 1,600 twitters, every day for three months.”
Mobile users often get confused by Pay As You Go plans, unsure as to what is included, when their free benefits kick-in and crucially, when they stop. 3Pay has been designed to be simple to understand and easy to use. By topping up with as little as £5*, all 3Pay customers will get 150MB data allowance, unlimited 3-to-3 calls, free Skype to Skype calls and free Windows Live Messenger all with an extremely fair “fair use” policy. There is no need whatsoever to opt-in, call customer services or send a text every time you top-up. By simply topping up, they immediately gain these benefits, which last for 90 days. Customers can also double their free texts, by simply topping up online via My3.
3Pay will be available on a range of phones (3 SkypePhone S2, INQ1, Sony Ericsson G502 and the Nokia 6120), and customers can even trade in their existing mobile to get money off.
