Off-peak 3000
Off-peak 3000 is 3's first off-peak price plan and is designed for customers who make calls in the evening and over the weekend and want to benefit from the great value that 3 offers.

For just 25 a month, Off-peak 3000 gives customers 3000 off-peak, any network, voice minutes. These 3000 minutes can be used between 7pm and 7am weekdays and at anytime on a Saturday and Sunday*. With Off-peak 3000, weekend and evening calls can cost less than 1p per minute.

Talk, Text & Video 600
Talk, Text & Video 600 combines the great value of Talk & Text 600, 3's best selling price plan, with a bundle of 3's video mobile services, all for just 35 a month.

Talk, Text & Video 600, gives customers 500 any network, anytime voice minutes, 100 any network, anytime text messages, twenty video calling minutes from one 3 video mobile to another, twenty video messages to other 3 mobiles and a range of 3's video mobile services, including highlights of the Barclays Premiership, full-length music videos, comedy and games.

Both these new price plans are available across the UK from this week.

18 month price plans
3 also announced today that all its pay monthly price plans are now available on eighteen month contracts. These contracts offer the same great value as 3's twelve month plans, but will be available with different promotions, for example in April there is a six month half-price line rental offer.

Bob Fuller, 3 UK CEO said: "3 is the fastest growing network in the UK, we now have over 3 million 3G customers and we continue to lead the market for both value and video mobile services. With these new price plans 3 continues to set the pace for value in the UK mobile market. 3 was the first network to launch live, over-the-air, multi-player gaming, the first to stream concerts live over video mobile and first to launch quickplay video streaming of 3's content."

Gareth Jones, COO 3 UK said: "Off-peak 3000 is designed for those customers that know when they use their mobile and want bundles of minutes for evening and weekend calling. Off-peak 3000 offers the best value of off-peak calling in the market and is the first off-peak price plan available with 3G. 3 continues to challenge the old networks by offering customers the best deals in the market."

*With Off-peak 3000, calls made to mobiles and UK landlines on weekdays between 7am and 7pm are charged at a standard rate of 30p a minute.
