This includes VideoTalk 500 and VideoTalk 750, which give customers savings of as much as 50% on their monthly charge, on plans with comparable amounts of voice calls.
3's ground-breaking sports service launched in March this year is a popular choice for customers who want the latest action delivered to the palm of their hand. Videosport on 3 gives customers the flexibility to enjoy the action when they're out and about, whatever they are doing, so there's no need to describe that great goal to mates in the pub, they can just show them on the video mobile.
