3 has extended its Pay As You Go offering with the introduction of international calls and texts to Poland, India and Pakistan for the same price as local UK calls until 31st August 2008.

The operator’s Flat 12 top-up tariff, which provides 12p a minute calls to UK mobiles and landlines had now been extended to improve ever expanding services for Pay As You Go Customers.

The tariff also includes free voicemails and a selection of popular add-ons that can be purchased to provide extra music downloads, various text bundles, weekly internet usage and mobile games and television.

Comment: what a great move for Prepay customers – getting decent rates abroad – 3 should be commended for making moves in this area, anything that brings down roaming costs is fine by me!!

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    The “comment” at the bottom of the article is totally wrong. This offer is for international calling NOT international roaming. It’s just an offer for all of the Poles, Pakistanis and Indians living in the UK to call home (it’s a big market, trust me).

    Sounds good – but when the promotion is over, it’s gonna be back to using Skype, Extracall.com and phone cards. Also, 3 charges 12p/minute – which is much higher than many prviders charge for calls to Poland, India and Pakistan. I wonder how 3′s Skypephone would work if you had one here in the UK and sent a second one to someone abroad?
    Thanks for the heads up though!
