3 Hutchison is set to offer new cap plans that will have more talk value as well as give discounted rates to 3G mobile phones such as the Nokia N95 8GB to its users. The new cap plans will be available from July 3, 2008.
3's Director of Sales, Marketing, and Product, Noel Hamill said, "The mobile is a daily essential and consumers want the most value they can get. We're answering that with new caps that will give more national voice call value than other comparable competitor plans, more free 3 to 3 talk, and a great line-up of discounted mobiles. With mobile services like news, sports and entertainment becoming a daily staple, we've expanded the boundaries of just talk and text in a cap. It's the natural next step for us and our customers," said Hamill.
All of 3's new cap plans will give the highest national voice call value when maximising the cap compared to other carriers with a similar cap price. For example, 3's new $69 Cap provides more national voice call value than $79 caps offered by other competitors.
In addition, the prices of some of 3's best selling mobiles will also be reduced, including the Nokia N95 8GB, LG Viewty (U990), Motorola V9 and Sony Ericsson W890i. The Nokia N95 8GB will be free on a $49 cap plan over 24 months, down from $34 per month on a$49 cap plan over 24 months.
Existing Cap customers can choose to move onto the new Caps and can call 13 33 20 for more information. 3's new caps are available from Thursday, 3 July on a choice of 24-month plans, from 3 Stores and 3 Dealers across Australia.
