17th August 2005 - T-Mobile UK announces the availability
of its latest data card at high-street stores nationwide
and online, and also announces four new simple, clear
and competitive tariffs for anytime, anywhere access
to information for laptop users in the UK.
The T-Mobile data card (known as the "Multimedia
Net Card" GPRS/3G/Wi-Fi) is now on sale at a range
of retail outlets including T-Mobile shops, Carphonewarehouse
and Dixons airport shops, as well as online.

The datacard, initially launched to T-Mobile corporate customers
in October 2004, is ideal for customers who need access to
email, Internet and company intranet sites from their laptop,
whilst on the move. T-Mobile’s data card provides users
with access to T-Mobile’s 3G and GPRS platforms, as well
as the ability to connect to the UK’s largest network
of Wi-Fi HotSpots for users that subscribe to this service.
For using the data card outside the UK, T-Mobile boasts the
widest footprint of countries with GPRS access among all the
UK operators.
T-Mobile continues to lead the way in offering affordable
mobile access, with four tariffs designed to suit different
customer usage patterns and their budget. Tariffs are tailored
to each type of user from the low usage consumer to the high
volume daily access small business user.
Simon Ainslie, T-Mobile UK Sales Director, commented: "T-Mobile
is committed to simple, seamless communications for everyone.
The UK population is becoming increasingly mobile and demands
access to information where they want it, when they need it
and how they want it, all at a reasonable price.
"The T-Mobile data card offers small businesses cost
and time savings, more efficient communication and flexible
access to information. With these tariffs we are offering
more choice and increased flexibility, whilst taking away
the common concern of high bills."
The software installs automatically and customers just need
to plug in the data card to their laptop. Customers will then
automatically be connected to the fastest available network
whether that is T-Mobile’s GPRS or 3G. The card will
also connect to Wi-Fi HotSpots if the customer has an account
set up for this service.
T-Mobile has a unique, intelligent, layered network comprising
GSM for voice and text, GPRS for small data exchanges, 3G
for high-speed connections and Wi-Fi for complete broadband
access. The combination of these networks gives users complete
national coverage with GPRS, high-speed urban coverage with
3G, and for subscribers, Wi-Fi hotspots in over 750 locations
in the UK. T-Mobile customers have access to around 13,000
hotspots worldwide.
