* Each mobile comes ready to use with a £30 starter Top-up credit that you can spend on pretty much anything. (calls, texts, video downloads, you name it). It’s valid for 60 days.
* • Call any other 3 UK mobiles as much as you like for a whole year, completely free (and that includes video calls too), as long as you and the person you call are both in the UK.
* • Here is the small print. If you want to keep on making those free calls, you need to top-up each mobile at least once every 30 days. If you miss a top-up, you won’t be able to make any more free calls. And once the free calls are gone, you won’t be able to get them back, however many times you top-up.
* • These Cash Top-ups start at £10, and they let you do just about anything on your mobile - talk, text, download stuff...
* • And of course, you can bring your number with you.

TwinPack offer relates to the purchase of a pair of handsets purchased together in one box which is designated as ‘TwinPack’ for a limited period. Each handset will include a Starter Top-up credit of £30 which can be used on any of 3’s Services. The credit has a validity period of 60 days. Each handset will be provisioned with an offer allowing free unlimited 3UK-to-3UK voice calls and video calls for the first 12 months. Once the Starter Top-up credit has expired, or has been used up, you’ll need to top up with a Cash or Bundle Top-up (Add-ons are not eligible) each handset at least once every 30 days to remain eligible for your free calls. If you fail to top up your handset in a 30 day period, you’ll use your eligibility for the free calls offer, and any further Top-ups will not re-enable this offer. 3UK-to-3UK voice and video calls means calls made from your handset in the UK to other 3UK customers.

What a load of rubbish....

You have to pay each month to get the 'free' calls - so you have to spend your credit calling other off-net numbers, hardly 'free' then... and if you dont spend a minimum of £10 each a month you loose your free calls totally.... so its not an £80 twin pack deal its an £80 + £240 deal = £320!! Right!!!

Its an utter scam... plus you have to buy 2 SIM glued ZTE's and pay £80 up-front... Yuk...

They imported 300,000 of those ZTE things.... has anyone ever seen anyone with one?

Pretty useless unless you have loads of contacts on 3 and use all your credit calling other numbers and that wil cost you 30p/min .... 3 X more than Tesco Extra and 2 X more than Easymobile or Fresh, texts cost 2 x as mush too ... no wonder on-net calls are free.....

Gullable... sign-up and see how far your £80 goes unless you only intend chatting to your other ZTE walkie-talkie contacts!

More Utterly Desparate 3 UK Nonsense....

I can see how this would possibly be good value for a pair of heavy talkers. It's a bit gimmicky though O_o

This is the kind of thing NTL used to do and Talk Talk to encoursge take up... but a ZTE twin pack... on 3?

Dont think so... Especially when you have to spend the top-up calling landlines and x/net at 30p a minute!

They are having a laugh surely?

Well you don't have to spend it on xnet of course - it could be a nice little texting buffer.

I thought ZTE's and Moto c975's had SIM's glued in now...

Not that it matters - if they sell them for £10 each that provides a good idea of their value really!!

Poor 3 - another silly idea to try and shift junk that is well below the standard most UK mobile users are prepared to part with their cash for.
