14 DAY TRIAL // Three wireless service providers in Europe are announcing plans to sell Apple’s iPad with attractive new purchase options which, obviously, include data plans for those buying the WiFi+3G version of the tablet computer.
T-Mobile, is one of them. The operator has posted a form on its web site which allows customers to send in their information and receive a newsletter to stay informed about pre-ordering, prices, plans and everything else they need for the Apple iPad.
The carrier will sell Apple’s iPad starting at just £199, according to its web site.
The purchase is tied to a 1GB monthly subscription + 1GB 'quiet time' (an additional 1GB 'quiet time' allowance to use between midnight and 10.00am) for £27. This offer is for “new” customers. Existing T-mobile subscribers will be able to get the same benefits for just £25 a month.
A pay-as-you-go plan is also available with the tablet price being set at £529. Customers can opt for the following:
- 500 MB per day for £2 per day - 1GB per day for £7 per week - 2GB per day for £15 per month
Next up, we hear Orange UK is also trying to entice customers offering the Apple tablet for similar prices and with similarly attractive data plans.
“If you're already an Orange customer you can get an iPad for £199 on a 24 month plan, with inclusive data and WiFI access, for only £25 a month,” Orange states. The operator is selling the 32GB version of the iPad for £249, and the 64GB model for £349.
9to5mac offers this link to those looking to get the full scoop about the offers at Orange.
Finally, Three UK is also known to plan selling the 3G iPad with “new purchase options […] including more affordable prices when purchased with a data service plan.”
The carrier’s actual offer is yet to be disclosed.
