3 Jump on Mobile Broadband with free laptop bandwagon
Mobile broadband provider 3 has jumped on the free laptop with mobile broadband bandwagon to become the first UK operator to offer mobile broadband with a free laptop.
This follows Carphone Warehouse, and more recently Phones 4U who subsidise Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Acer, Fujitsu Siemens and Samsung laptops when customers sign up for a mobile broadband contract with them.
Carphone Warehouse is supplying a free laptop with mobile broadband from Orange, T-Mobile and 3, whereas Phones 4U are currently subsiding only Orange mobile broadband.
It is expected that 3 will launch their bundled laptops with mobile broadband at the beginning of August 2008, and uptake is expected to be high as it has been reported that they will be offering a new Hewlett Packard laptop with their mobile broadband dongles.
The whisper within the mobile broadband industry is that Vodafone and Orange will also be launching packages following similar ideas in the near future.
We have recently seen Vodafone team up with China's largest PC manufacturer Lenovo to have mobile broadband built-in to their ThinkPad range of laptops, which will save consumers from having to buy a separate USB modem.
Vodafone will offer a 30 day free trial in the first instance to all Lenovo customers, who will then have the option to continue using the built-in connection. This will ensure that Levono don’t put customers off their laptop range who don’t want to use the built-in mobile broadband connection at this time.
