Comments on: I’ve just bought Three’s X-Series http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2006/12/ive_just_bought_threes_x-series.html Daily news and opinion for 250,000 industry executives and mobile fanatics Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:31:00 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: driversoft http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2006/12/ive_just_bought_threes_x-series.html/comment-page-1#comment-17381 driversoft Sun, 31 Dec 2006 13:45:30 +0000 http://www.smstextnews.com/2006/12/ive_just_bought_threes_x-series.html#comment-17381 The deal is £10 on top of your standard contract for the Gold Series - plus £99 for the Slingbox (less than I've seen it for on the web anyway). So, for a £40 monthly total I get 750 voice minutes, 150 texts, 1 Gbyte of data PLUS 80 hours of streaming data from my own PC (TV and media files). I've got both Orb and Slingbox working, and this is a huge step forward for using the mobile internet - useful services that work as well (if not better) than advertised! The deal is as good as it sounds - the 80 hours per month usage of Orb / Slingbox doesn't come out of your 1 Gb monthly data allowance, so mobile web exploration AND useful web services are at last truly affordable. Now, if only I could get MobileMail to work with a paid Hotmail account....

Just. wow. SO is that £10 on top of the standard 3 contract rate? What are you actually paying? How many actual voice minutes do you get? I find myself wishing that mobile operators behaved like Credit Card companies; I would dearly love to move my Orange contract to 3 on the basis of the X series.

If I can get the same deal as they offered me last week then I will probably stay. I think this deal is going to be hugely popular. Well done Three - just wish they had more people on customer service tonight!
