Undeniably, in the United Kingdom and all over the world, work and daily routines will be at a standstill without the presence of mobile phones. It was in 2003 when a study by the National Statistics office of the UK reported that about 75 percent of adults own a mobile phone, with an even larger percentage belonging to the teenage group. In 2005, about 45 million in the UK own a mobile phone. Within that year, around 4 million UK mobile phone users were subscribed to the services of 3 mobile, one of the leading authorities in 3G services in the country.
3 was launched in the UK appropriately on March 3, 2003 or 03/03/03, and the official company name was Hutchison 3G UK Limited. This mobile service provider has the widest coverage for 3G phones in the UK, and even across Europe. As of the first quarter of 2008, some of the company's hottest 3 phones are the Nokia N95 8GB edition, the Nokia 6500 Slide, and the Cyber-Shot camera mobile phones like the Sony Ericsson K800i, K850i, and K770i.
Aside from the distribution of the latest handsets from various manufacturers like Sony Ericsson and Nokia, 3 also supports handsets from the newest Skypephone.
Skypephone mobile phones allow callers to communicate with friends on their PC's through Skype, and calls are for free and will not consume the airtime minutes from the subscription.
3 also has the X-series of subscription plans for their clients, which allows them to maximize the functions of their mobile phones. You can not only make phone calls or send SMS messages, but you can also use your mobile phone as a computer on the go, a portable TV, and lots more. X-series mobile phones support eBay shopping, Skype calls, Yahoo Search, and MSN Live Messenger, among many other features.
There are several affordable business and personal mobile phones plans offered by 3, with varying numbers of minutes and free text messages. When you visit their website, you can easily be matched to a mobile phone that is right for you simply by selecting the tariffs or minutes and texts you want per month. 3 also provides broadband services, online music stores, downloadable games, news and sports updates, and more for all their clients across the UK. Many consumers turn to the 3G services from 3, but there are also 3G services that you can get on an orange phone or an O2 phone. Orange UK and O2 are among the largest mobile service providers in the UK.
