3's new Prepaid Caps
24 September 2008
Reported by Angus Leung
3 today announced its new Prepaid Caps, offering more value for customers who prefer to pay upfront.
Available from Sunday, 28th September, 3's new Prepaid Caps put the customer in control of how to use their credit, with the choice of being able to use it for talk, SMS or accessing the internet on their mobile (which will be available later this year).
"With 3's new Prepaid Caps we are giving customers the freedom to use their credit for what they want - whether it's for talk, text or the mobile internet. We're also delivering more value - something 3 has always aimed to do with all of our services, whether it's a prepaid, contract or mobile broadband service," said Noel Hamill, Director Sales, Marketing & Product at 3.
3's new Prepaid Caps range feature a $29, $49, $69 and $99 cap and include more value. From late 2008, mobile internet will also be available so all of 3's Prepaid Cap web addicts will be able to browse Facebook, MySpace or Google without the headache of extra subscriptions or additional costs.
"For customers who don't want to be tied into a contract and want to get the most out of their mobile, 3's Prepaid Caps are simple and put the customer in the driving seat. We think it's prepaid the way it should be," said Hamill.
More Value
3's new Prepaid Caps offer more value in services like talk, SMS, mobile internet and free 3 to 3 calls. 3's $29 Prepaid Cap includes $310 worth of value. Customers get $590 worth of value on the $49 Prepaid Cap, $1,000 on the $69 Prepaid Cap and on the $99 plan customers get $2,750 of total value. All Prepaid Cap recharges have a 30-day expiry.
Best of all, 3's new Prepaid Caps offer a no strings attached mobile experience, where customers can control their spend. Monitoring credit has never been easier as 3 gives fantastic options for the cash-conscious to keep finances in check, by logging onto My 3, calling 2224 or visiting
