O2 launches new mobile broadband bolt-on
(27-09-07) - Two new data packages will be available from Monday, and a third, BlackBerry dedicated package, will also go live the company announced today.
The O2 (www.O2.co.uk) Web Bolt On is available to Pay & Go customers as well as those on Pay Monthly contracts, and reflecting T-Mobile’s Web’n’walk data bundle, allows customers to brows the internet on their mobiles as much as they want for a set fee of £7.50 a month.
The second new data pack to be launched next week is the O2 Web Max for Pay Monthly customers who want to connect their handset to a PC or use a data card. It costs £30 a month an also offers “unlimited” browsing.
Finally, O2 BlackBerry users can have “unlimited” browsing and their emails pushed to their handset for £10 a month.
However, all of these packages have fair usage policies attached; 200Mb for the Web Bolt On and Unlimited BlackBerry - equivalent to around 1,400 internet pages per month, or 3GB for the Web Max.
Despite owning the UK’s fastest residential broadband service Be (www.BeThere.co.uk) which offers speeds of up to 24Mb, the company has repeatedly pushed back the launch of an O2 branded home broadband service.
Chris Eagle, BroadbandChoices.co.uk commercial manager, said: “Mobile broadband is developing at a rapid pace. As the take-up of “smart” handsets increase with faster and easier browsing and cheaper data packages, I can see mobile broadband taking a considerably bigger slice of the market - especially in cities where connections are much faster.”
