three-logoGoMoNews.com is reporting on a move by 3UK to continue it’s innovation with Mobile Internet Services – in this case Skype. Apparently from later this year there will be a new SIM car that will allow users to make Skype calls completely free – and the SIM card will only cost a couple of quid! Before that though PAYG users are going to be allowed to use Skype even if they have no credit!

As many of us will remember, 3′s deal with Skype was already pre-existing, with things like the X Series and Skypephone pushing down that avenue before – but this really marks full speed ahead for 3 on the VoIP front!

If you wanna read a bit more about 3′s various mobile internet offerings, check it out on their homepage.

About The Author

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.
