they currently charge £15 for 100s of x network minutes and free 3-3 calls
on mix and match.
so this seems kind of worse.

actually this one is £12 for 100 x-network plus 'unlimited' 3-3
http://threestore.three.co.uk/mixnmatchphone.as…
plus a free skype phone.

though its £17 with internet max added on.
so £2 for 100 xnetwork minutes seems ok

also arguing over the wording of someone else's copy is a bit pointless – lets see how 3 word / promote it when they actually bring it out.
