Three

I parted company with £69.99 today to purchase Three’s 3G / WiFi router, the Huawei D100.  I wish I hadn’t.

I’ve used it for an hour and decided it’s going back to the shop.  I may just throw it through the door and hurl abuse, but I hope to have calmed down enough to go in [...]

The Sunday Times picked up the story that 3 is planning to add SkypeOut to their Skypephone package, on top of the existing Skype to Skype and Skype Chat offering. However, buried away in the detail, I noticed that SkypeOut is only supported for international calls. Calls to UK destinations can only be made via [...]

If you want to get your hands on 3’s Skypephone S2, the operator’s already taking pre-orders for the device through its website, and it won’t be long til the device is out in the wild (next week online, 1st September in store).

1000Killahurts, a user at 3g.co.uk’s forums (here’s his thread), reports that he recently received a phone call from 3UK telling him he was going to be receiving a hamper of goodies to thank [...]

I went into the 3UK store on Baker Street yesterday to see if I could upgrade my handset earlier to a Nokia N95 8GB.
The chap there was extremely helpful, particularly since I wasn’t able to remember my 3 number. I’d come out of the office without my handset so we had to call Customer [...]

Critical Path are the daddy when it comes to messaging.  They’ve been in the game a long time.  I remember, back the dotcom days, we were hunting around for the best email provider on the planet to offer whitelabeled email services for our visitors.  We selected Critical Path; alas… we didn’t quite have the budgets [...]

Last August I met with Marc Allera and asked him a serious of questions about 3UK’s service — one of the quesitons was about the massive disconnect between the 3UK shops that are now in almost every UK High Street, and the 3UK customer services.
I wasn’t impressed, you see, walking into a store last year [...]
