About 3

When 3 launched their network on the 3rd of March 2003 (3/3/03) they had just one aim - to be the first 3G network in the UK. Nearly 4 years later and they can justly be proud of their achievements. From video calling to music downloads to TV on the move, they have never stopped introducing cutting edge mobile services and taking the market in new directions.

Nowadays, 3 are the UK's second biggest digital retailer of music behind iTunes; they are the first and only UK network that can offer you all your music and TV from home wherever you are with their X-Series range, let you stay connected with MSN Messenger and offer free international calls over Skype, the internet phone company - all from your 3G mobile!

3 Coverage

3 covers 99.5% of the UK population, so you'll never be out of touch. They also have the UK's best 3G network, so you can be sure that you'll always be connected. If reliable high-speed data is important to you, for instance with a 3G data card for your company laptop, choose 3 and you won't be disappointed.
