3’s stunning Mix & Match offer to end

20.05.2008 | Author: declans

The operator’s most incredible consumer offer ever will end on 31^st May. The tariff which has been offered for only £20 per month - £7 less than its usual price - contained a host of features which saw it rocket to the top of bestseller charts. As well as 1100 free minutes or texts to any network there is also free voicemail and 300 extra minutes for contacting other 3 phones. Since the tariff has  flexibility built into it users could have a busy month text-wise, then use more minutes the next month without having to worry. Normally when consumers part with £20 per month they can expect around 350 minutes OR 350 texts; the fact that 3 puts 1100 of either in your hand has made this a ‘no-brainer’ for hundreds of thousands of people. 3 also chose to sharpen its price on the very small and very cool Nokia 6500 slide, deciding to offer this iconic feature-packed phone (Bluetooth, music player, 2 megapixel camera, fm radio, e-mail and internet) for free on this amazing tariff. It will probably be a long time before we see such a strong package for a total spend of £20 per month. Since the announcement, an industry source said that the already high demand had reached new levels as savvy consumers sought to take advantage of 3’s amazing offer before the 31^st May deadline, adding that the Nokia 6500 slide was outstripping the competition by some distance.
