iPhone 4G is and T-Mobile Friends and Family Upgrade

August 30th, 2010 admin Posted in T-Mobile, Tips and Tricks, apple, iPhone No Comments »

T-Mobile finally is offering iPhone to it’s customers. It is the last operator to get this device out of all operators in UK. Initially T-Mobile refused iPhone as an upgrade to customers who had Friends and Family discount. If you are one of them, there are some good news for you! T-Mobile now decided to change the rule since many customers were deciding to leave the operator because they could not get their hands on the desired device.

Now you can get hands on iPhone 4G 16GB version for free if you upgrade to 24 months Flext 60 contract for £60 per month T-Mobile iPhone(£30 after discount). Sounds expensive, but this is top tariff which gives you unlimited calls, you can select flexible booster and 1GB internet usage. iPhone will cost you £720 over 2 years, but you will get mobile service as well, so deal is not bad. The only downside is you are tied with this operator for 2 years.

If you have been waiting for Apple’s latest toy and on T-Mobile, call them now and see what options you have.

Orange UK Adds 3 More MVNOs

March 15th, 2010 admin Posted in News, Orange No Comments »

Orange has signed three new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) contracts, two with fixed line providers to cross-sell own-branded mobile propositions into their customer bases and the third with a niche brand working with students, ethnic minorities and SMEs.

Orange has confirmed a deal with fixed line provider Unicom, which will sell its SIM-only MVNO offer into its base of 80,000 customers, providing billing for both fixed and mobile services on the same invoice.

It is also working with regional provider Axis Telecom, which is to provide a number of SIM-only deals to its regional base of 14,000 businesses and residential customers.

As well, niche operative Catalyst will provide mobile services through partners for groups such as students, ethnic minorities and SMEs.

All new MVNO deals are products of its relationship with mobile virtual network aggregator (MVNA) Transatel, with which it has set up a partner platform to enable swift establishment of such projects on its network. All are expected to launch shortly.

Orange already has MVNO deals with Mobinet, Lycamobile and IDT Mobile, and also national roaming agreements with 3 and Cable&Wireless in the UK.

Brussels Approves T-Mobile-Orange Merger in UK

March 3rd, 2010 admin Posted in Orange, T-Mobile 2 Comments »

Europe’s top competition watchdog has approved the proposed merger of Orange and T-Mobile in the UK after obtaining concessions from the mobile phone operators’ parent companies.

The joint venture between France Telecom’s Orange UK and Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile UK is planning to start trading in April, and will be Britain’s largest mobile operator.

British consumer groups reacted angrily to the European Commission’s decision to approve the merger on the fastest possible timetable, accusing Brussels of clearing the transaction with “indecent haste”.

The merger could also destabilise a UK government-sponsored effort to end a dispute between Britain’s mobile operators over their ownership of radio spectrum.

O2, Telefónica’s UK subsidiary, and Vodafone’s British business are not planning a challenge to the Commission’s decision.

O2 and Vodafone, the UK’s largest and second- largest operators, are instead expected to intensify efforts to poach customers from the new market leader.

Orange and T-Mobile, the third- and fourth-largest operators, are attempting an ambitious integration that is supposed to provide cost savings of £3.5bn.

The operators are planning to rationalise their networks and retail shops, and cut staff.

Tom Alexander, chief executive designate of the combined Orange/T-Mobile entity, expressed confidence that the integration would run smoothly and insisted the transaction was “great news” for consumers.

The merger will cut the number of British network operators from five to four, and consumer groups had called on UK competition authorities to investigate the transaction.

Which?, the consumer magazine and campaigns organisation, accused the Commission of failing to protect consumers’ interests.

Brussels’ decision to approve the merger is conditional on the combined Orange/T-Mobile entity having an infrastructure-sharing agreement with 3, the UK’s smallest network operator owned by Hong Kong’s Hutchison Whampoa.

The Commission said 3’s viability could be threatened if it did not have a network-sharing deal with the joint venture that would save costs.

T-Mobile UK Introduces New Tariffs From 1st February 2010

January 25th, 2010 admin Posted in T-Mobile, tariffs and plans No Comments »

T-Mobile UK is revamping it’s portfolio of tariffs from 1st February 2010. Existing Combi, Flext and U-Fix tariffs will be replaced with new 18 and 24-month deals. We are not sure at this moment that T-Mobile will still offer 12 months tariffs or not. It looks like telco is moving away from short pay monthly contracts, it has already stopped selling them online, though you can still get them via phone or in the shop.

Here are highlights of new monthly plans:

  • Customers can get fixed minutes and text deals on the following monthly costs – £10, £15, £20, £25, £30, £35 and £40 (24 month contracts)
  • The deals will also be available on 18 month contracts for an additional £5 per month.

Tariffs range from 100 minutes and 100 texts for £15 per month to 1,200 minutes and 500 texts for £35 a month. Customers will pay £5 more for 18-month tariffs than 24-month deals allowing equivalent monthly airtime. Customers will now get a Flexible booster in addition to their text and minutes as part of their contract, which they can change each month. The flexible boosters include:

  • Unlimited texts
  • Unlimited internet
  • Unlimited landline talk
  • Unlimited T-Mobile talk
  • Euro talk & text
  • USA & Canada talk
  • Europe &Amsterdam talk

Customers can ALSO buy another booster in addition to the one with their contract for only £5 extra a month.

T-Mobile is also dropping its ‘Solo’ SIM-only brand from March 1 for a range of ‘SIM-only’-branded propositions at new pricepoints. Rolling one-month deals start at £10 per month for 100 minutes and 100 texts,  and rise to £25 per month for 900 minutes and 500 texts.

Twelve-month SIM-only deals allow 600 minutes and 500 texts for £15 a month, and rise to 1,200 minutes and 500 texts for £25 per month. All unlimited text bundles have been removed.

SIM-only customers also get to select a free booster, and opt in for further bundles at £5 a go.

Existing Solo plans (affording 300 minutes and unlimited texts for £15 a month, 600 minutes and unlimited texts for £20 a month and 800 minutes and unlimited texts for £25 a month) are available until March 1.
