3 UK Offers Free Mobile Skype Calls For All Time

The latest news is that UK-based 3 has promised to let its customers use unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls and messages without any extra fees. The new rules start May 1st for any compatible 3 headset. Later this summer, it plans to expand to every 3G phone on the network.
The company says it sees the initiative as a win-win situation for everyone, not just the customers, as the hope is it’ll lessen calls to people on other networks, which carries a hefty Mobile Termination Rate fee.

Whatever the reasons, it is great to see at least one company embracing the VoIP service. We are hoping this thing catches on with other carriers as well.

AT&T Offers HTC Fuze Refurbs For Free on 2-Year Contract

Guess what, guys? You can now pick up the HTC Fuze for free on a two-year contract from AT&T. The only potential disadvantage is that the Fuze’s are refurbished models. While this is no big deal to some folks, others will not like anything but a new handset.

We think that this is simply an awesome deal on a great device from our friends at HTC. If you’ve been contemplating picking up a new HTC device anyways, this deal could not have come at a better time.
For more information visit AT&T and enjoy the $499.99 discount. Oh, what fun this is!

TIM From Italy Takes The HTC Magic

In Europe, HTC’s Android devices are fragmented among the big players there. This means TIM could end up being the first carrier to offer both the HTC Dream and the HTC Magic as well, now that they’ve popped a product page on their official site for the keyboardless device at a stiff €449 (about $595).

There’s no launch date listed just as yet, but Tecnophone says that the phones are already in TIM’s possession, and that they might be looking at a May 4 launch to line up with Vodafone.
