For many people, 3 is most known for having introduced the Skype phone and for pushing VOIP technology into the next generation. This is actually a brand Hutchison 3G UK LTD and, as one would expect, it delivers high end 3G services. While the company does not service GSM networks, it still enjoys a high number of subscribers who use the network. As a company, 3 focuses on being able to deliver good quality mobile phone services at the right price. They are the first to do without mobile termination rates in order to provide users with a more proper value especially for mobile internet services. 3 Offering Free SIM Cards Pay-as-you-go consumers need a high degree of flexibility and control with their mobile finances, and with 3s pay-as-you-go SIM card, no other PAYG service can match the flexibility provided by 3. The SIM card itself is free and will grant the user access to Skype and Windows Live Messenger at no extra cost -provided that you are using a mobile phone that is not sim locked and is 3G compatible. It is a perfect match for people who already have lots of friends and contacts within the 3 network. Acquiring the SIM card is easy; simply fill up the application form on the official website. Users can also opt to get the SIM and an additional 10 Pound value top up credit to get the account really starting. By purchasing and loading a top-up, the SIMs free features will also be activated. The free stuff includes texting budget, calling from 3 to 3, voicemail and mobile internet allowance. Even if the top up is already consumed, users can still access the free services within 90 days of top-up. Three Monthly Rates Like many other carriers, 3 also offer pay-monthly subscription services. It is not as versatile as the PAYG deal, but the 3 monthly plans can prove to be of better value depending on the subscriber. One of the best things about 3s monthly plans is that they were designed to fit the various needs of individuals. There are three main types of plans, each focusing on one particular usage of a phone. The first plan is the Texter which is made mostly for users who send SMS messages in large quantities. The plan gives unlimited texting and some call minutes (which are refreshed each month). For those who spend hours online for email and chatting, the Internet Texter gives both unlimited texting and unlimited internet. Lastly, the Mix & Match will allow users to decide how they want to spend the monthly phone allowance. In this plan, call minutes are plenty and can be consumed in large amounts. Mobile Broadband Services Another great service from 3 is the mobile broadband internet access. For all plans reaching duration of 18 months onwards, a free modem will be given. On the average, the typical broadband plan costs a solid 15 Pound each month. This will grant users with a full 5GB monthly data allowance.About the Author:
