Free Net Calls For £5 From 3
3 has raised the stakes with its X-Series offer by giving subscribers unlimited internet calls for £5 a month.
The X-Series Silver deal will allow subscribers to call any PC-based Skype users as well as fellow X-Series users from their 3 mobiles. The deal also includes unlimited instant messaging.
For £10, a user can add access to streaming media from a home PC plus access to home TV using a Slingbox to transfer content over the internet. The X-Series Gold deal gives unlimited access to home TV via a Slingbox and home PC files with Orb. For £10 a month customers can watch home TV through a Slingbox or access PC files on the move.
Both deals require six-month sign-ups. A further deal, which includes a subsidised Slingbox for £99 (to channel home TV over the internet), requires a 12-month contract.
The bundle effectively offers flat rate calls to a group, a deal that could prove compelling for some businesses, particularly those with staff overseas.
The offer launches with just two handsets that support the full range of services: the Sony Ericsson W950i and the Nokia N73.
Both of the X-Series deals will be subject to a fair use policy. 3 has defined this policy as 5,000 Skype-to-Skype call minutes per month, 10,000 Windows Live Messenger messages per month, 1GB per month for browsing and 80 hours per month of access for Orb and Slingbox content.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
