Three UK Follows EE to Launch Mobile Calls and TXT over WiFi

Saturday, Jun 21st, 2014 (7:31 am) - Score 2,554

Mobile operator Three UK has announced the forthcoming launch of a new App (‘Three inTouch‘) that will allow their customers to talk and text, using existing allowances, over a WiFi based wireless Internet connection, such as the one that most people have at home or even via a public hotspot connection.

The Three inTouch service, which follows immediately after rival EE announced the forthcoming launch of an identical product (here), is expected to be made available to all customers from early August 2014 and will be offered free to all their contract, SIM and Pay As You Go (PAYG) customers.

ThreeUK Statement

With Three inTouch customers can make and receive calls and text messages when they connect to Wi-Fi. It’s a free app which uses their existing monthly allowance or prepaid credit for any minutes or texts used. The service is seamless and uses the customers’ usual Three phone number.

Three inTouch will particularly improve the experience in places where there is typically no mobile signal.

It’s worth pointing out that BT and Virgin Media have also launched similar solutions for their fixed line home broadband and phone connections (e.g. SmartCall). Well it beats having to boost the existing mobile signal by femotcell technology if you can do practically the same thing by using an existing wifi network, although having such an app running all the time probably isn’t going to help your mobiles battery life.
