Option3
Stretch £20 of your top up to get 500 minutes & text messages, this option gives you an extra 334 minutes & text messages compared to a regular £20 top up.
Option4

Each of the options also comes with 100 free 3 to 3 minutes, stretching your top up can be done online, on your mobile phone in store and even at a cash plus machine.

New this week on pre-pay-as-you-go is the Sony Ericsson K660i black and silver.

Having never used this handset, I believe if it were on any other network; its price would be too steep for the features on offer. However, if you factor in the Three networks current offering of Free Skype to Skype calls and the numerous other benefits available to a pay as you go user, the K660i suddenly becomes a much more attractive proposition.

If you are looking for a mobile internet handset then the K660i is defiantly worth looking at. Internet focused features include Google maps, PictBridge, Web feeds, Web browser, Video streaming, Picture blogging, Video blogging, Picture editor and more!

As I’ve been writing this, piece and looking into the features of the K660i I’ve found myself disagreeing with my earlier thoughts on its price as its none internet focused features aren’t that bad either. In fact, it comes with a package of features that I personally would be happy to use.

If you own or have used one, please tell everyone how you rate this handset.
