After shaking things up in the contract world with its properly unlimited data plan for monthly contracts, Three UK is now trying to do the same in the PAYG market.
Today it’s launching an unlimited data plan for casual pay monthly users, which will give them what Three claims to be a genuinely unlimited mobile data allowance for £15 per month. Here’s how that claim manifests itself:
“All-you-can-eat data is now available on our All in One 15 and All in One 25 Add-ons which you can buy for £15 or £25. The Add-ons will last for 30 days as they always have done, but in that time you can now use as much data as you like on your phone. You’ll obviously still get the same huge allowance of calls & texts too”
By “eat” they mean “use”. No one’s suggesting you might actually be able to “eat” data.
Which means it might be worth picking up a spare SIM just for tethering purposes. Read about it on the Three Blog. Or sign up over on Three’s PAYG add-ons site.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
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?

/ March 7, 2011Just phoned 3 and apparently It’s about 80GB, yes 80, worth of data you will get for your £15 or £25 top ups. I’m definitely switching tariffs..
