Three UK, which has been bundling Spotify Premium with its HTC Hero package to much success for quite some time now, is also bringing Spotify to Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 – offering two months of free Spotify Premium access (usual cost £9.99 a month) to buyers of the X10 through Three.
Here’s how to access the free trial, once you’ve got yourself an X10:
“To access free Spotify Premium for 2 months, Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10 and Vivaz™ customers should text ‘Spotify’ to 39000. Customers will receive a link by text which will let them create a new Spotify ID, or use an existing Spotify ID and get hold of 2 free months of Spotify Premium, After the 2 free months are used, customers will revert to £9.99 a month for Spotify Premium on their mobile bill, which they can cancel at any time, with 30 days notice.”
Simple. Sort of. Remember to cancel after those two months, eh?
Three UK’s two month free Spotify deal also includes Sony Ericsson’s Vivaz phone, whatever that might be. Full press release from Three below, for those of you who like FULL FACT updates:

HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
