T-Mobile Offers Extra Credit to Prepay Users
T-Mobile is offering an incentive to mobile phone prepay customers to top-up with £10 during the week by giving them a credit reward to spend at the weekend.
With T-Mobile’s new Top Up and Stretch offer, prepay customers who top-up by £10 between Monday and Friday will get an extra £10 to spend on calls, texts and picture messages over the weekend.
T-Mobile says the top-ups can be made up of smaller amounts adding up to £10, as long as they take place between Monday and Friday.
Top Up and Stretch complements T-Mobile’s existing Top Up Friday offer which gives prepay users who top-up on a Friday unlimited weekend texts.
Unfortunately, the offers can not be used in conjunction with each other.
The Big Mobile Broadband Auction
Brace yourself, the 2010-2025MHz and 2500-2690MHz bands are up for sale.
In case you’re scratching your head at this point, this is the spectrum (or network) that will be used by mobile operators for all mobile broadband and Wi-Fi services in the future, as well as WiMAX and the evolution of 3G technology.
Ofcom will set up the auction this summer and it promises to be the biggest sale of its kind.
The winners will be able to utilise the secured spectrum for themselves or, alternatively, trade their license for their portion of the spectrum with other companies.
Philip Rutnam, Ofcom’s partner in charge of spectrum policy, said ‘The release of the 2.6GHz radio spectrum will create opportunities for fresh innovation, new services and competition for the benefit of consumers in the UK’.
Def Jam Blings Up W910i
Sony Ericsson has teamed up with Carphone Warehouse and Def Jam records to launch a Walkman W910i that comes in with ‘bling’ new colour scheme and is preloaded with musical content.
The limited-edition white and gold ‘hip hop heavy’ handset is on sale exclusively at Carphone Warehouse, and is embedded with videos and audio tracks from an assortment of Def Jam artists.
This select Sony Ericsson W910i is also boxed with matching black and gold MPS 75 speakers.
The Worlds Lightest Mobile
The Modu has officially been named the world’s lightest mobile phone, it’s smaller than a credit card and weighs only 40.1g.
The Guinness World Records declared the Modu, which measures a mere 72.1 x 37.6 x 7.8mm, a record-breaker.
The handset can be slipped into a variety of Modu jackets or phone enclosures which then transform it into a sat nav device, for example, or even a phone with a QWERTY keypad.
Although the Modu was unveiled in February, it won’t be on sale until October and will be available in Italy, Russia and Israel for around 500 euros (including two Modu jackets).
Those in the UK who are aching to get their fingertips on this tiny device will have to wait until 2009.
