3 UK introduced Motorola RAZR2 V9 handset as it’s latest offering. 3 didn’t have any Motorola handsets llately and now re-introduced first one by troubled manufacturer.

This is an extract from 3’s press release:

“3’s Director of Products Fergal Walker said: “Motorola’s renewed focus on powerful 3G handsets like the RAZR2 V9 means we can welcome them back into 3’s growing portfolio. A strong roadmap and some compelling products will help us give our customers the best possible choice of 3G phones.”

17 MOTOAGENTS will tour the entire 3Store base throughout March and April to help reintroduce the Motorola brand to 3 staff and customers.

“Motorola is delighted to be working with 3 on the launch of the Motorola RAZR2 V9 across the UK,” said Jim Michel, General Manager, UK & Ireland, Motorola. “The rich capabilities of the RAZR2 V9 are a perfect match for the advanced services and experiences available through the 3 mobile network. Together, we have great expectations for how the product will perform in retail and are looking forward to building a portfolio of Motorola products available on 3 in the future,” he added.”

T-Mobile is revamping it’s U-Fix tariffs. On 3rd March T-Mobile has announced few changes to U-Fix tariffs which will benefit all existing customers and may attract new ones.

If you are on T-Mobile’s U-Fix tariff and ran out of credit, you may now send free text to your parents or friends asking them to call you back! I think this is a nice feature, U-Fix is popular tariff with parents who have given mobile phone to their children and want to control their bills. By using this, children will never be out of touch with parents or you will always be able to contact your friends or girlfriend/boyfriend!

“Call Me Back” free texts are limited to 5 a month, so use it when you really need it! Service is available to all existing and new U-Fix customers.
