Mobile Phones

Despite the fact that mobile phones have become an essential part of modern day life, many people have little idea of how much they are paying or even which call plan they are on.

Almost a thousand text messages and 20 hours of voice minutes unused each year by each mobile user.

Commenting on the new In Car Mobile Legislation Richard Mason, managing director at price comparison website moneysupermarket.com, said:

From this weekend, 3 customers will be able to take advantage of a new text-focused price plan, as 3’s Direct Text 675 launches.

Problem-solving charity Citizens Advice is warning people to be wary of cash back mobile phone deals promising refunds that may never materialise.

Mobile phone ‘cash back’ deals have been blasted for their complicated terms and conditions. It has been claimed that mobile retailers make it too difficult for customers to claim their money back.

‘3’ customers visiting Ireland, Italy, Austria, Australia, Hong Kong, Sweden and Denmark can take advantage of being on one of 3's sister networks to make and receive voice and video calls, send texts, picture and video messages without being stung by rip-off roaming charges.

Commenting on 3’s decision to abolish international roaming charges, Robert Kenley, head of mobiles at price comparison website moneysupermarket.com, said:

3 today throws down the gauntlet to the other mobile operators to put an end the 'international roaming rip-off' with the launch of '3 Like Home'.

3 breaks the mould with flat-rate, unlimited mobile internet access plus free Skype calls from your mobile for all X-Series customers.
