Three Mobile Announce iPad 3G + WiFi for £199
Three Mobile has unveiled its plans and costs for your discounted iPad needs.
If you skip over to Three you’ll be able to swipe an iPad for as little as £199 – following on from T-Mobile and Orange’s discount bonanza.
The subsidised 16GB Apple iPad Wi-Fi + 3G comes in just under the £200 mark when taken with a two year, £25 per month fixed term contract that includes 15GB of monthly data. The 32GB and 64GB storage capacity iPad Wi-Fi + 3G models are to cost £249 and £349 respectively on the same monthly deal.
If signing up for 2 years seems a bit daft given all the chatter about iPad 2 then you could opt to get your iPad from Three Mobile for Apple Store prices: £529, £599 and £699 (16GB, 32GB and 64GB respectively) along with a selection of PAYG or single month rolling contracts.
On the Pay As You Go front, Three is to offer 1GB of data for use in a 30 day period for £10 or 3GB within the same timeframe for £20. 1GB and 10GB rolling contracts will set takers back £7.50 and £15 per month respectively.
