Why Three?

Three Reasons to buy 3…

The 3 Mobile network offers three key benefits over and above other UK mobile networks:

1. Unrivalled value for money on the latest mobile phones
2. Innovative services based on 3G technology
3. No-nonsense price plans

Value for Money

Three have now become the market leader for offering high-value 3G mobile phone contracts at very reasonable prices.

On the Mix and Match tariffs, all phones are free, even the high-end phones, and tariffs start from as little as £9 a month with the majority starting at £15.

Simply put, no other network offers as good a range of phones on such low cost tariffs as the 3 network.

Innovation

The 3 network is the only dedicated 3G network in the UK. Essentially a 3G network is similar to a traditional network but has the added value of being able to support advanced services such as broadband on-the-go, mobile TV, video calls, free Internet calls (with Skype), MSN messaging and much, much more.

Because 3 are experts at 3G they have tailored all their phones and tariffs towards offering these advanced services. This means they often come at no extra and are highly accessible from your 3 phone.

Coverage and Reliability

3 have an industry leading 90% 3G coverage and an impressive 99.5% text and voice call coverage. For the 10% of the country where a 3G signal is not always available your 3 phone will default to the T-Mobile network with a 2G connection. This ensures that coverage is never a problem for a 3 customer. To check the signal in your area enter your address into the 3 Coverage Checker.

Tariffs

3 have three types of tariff; Mix & Match, Texter and Broadband.

The Mix and Match tariff is ideal for most people, but especially those who want to choose how many texts and calls they make. You get a free 3 mobile phone and a monthly allowance of phone units, where one unit is equal to one text or a one min phone call. So for example 500 units will buy 200 mins of calls and 300 texts, or 150 texts and 350 mins etc.

The Texter tariffs are geared towards the user who likes to text. Most phones are free on the Texter tariffs, however some of the high-end phones aren’t.

Broadband on the go

Finally, 3 offer a cutting edge Mobile Broadband service. From just £7.50 a month you can access a broadband speed Internet connection (basically like a fast home connection) using a 3 USB Modem which comes as part of the package.

Like a 3 mobile phone, 3G broadband is bought as a monthly contract. The higher the value of a contract the more data you are allowed to download. Most users’ needs will be satisfied with the 5GB £15 a month package.
