www.WirelessFederation.com/news: 3 UK announces that from 17 June the UK’s first £0 a month contract service will be available for its subscribers. The offer dubbed as SIM ZERO, is hoped to make money from the calls made by the subscribers without them paying any upfront fees for the connection.
In order to attract new subscribers, 3 is also offering free Skype-to-Skype calls and IM without paying any amount in the hope that they will make the odd “real” phone call.
The subscribers who opt for the contract will also be offered free voicemails in UK for a one month of minimum contract.
Calls will be charged at 20p per minute for all standard calls, 10p per text, and 30p per MB of data within the UK. The contract will not offer any handset.
