3 is launching its own version of T-Mobile’s Flext tariffs on 1 October, called Mix&Match.
Mobile Today has claimed that Mix&Match, dubbed a ‘Flext killer’, will offer much better value to customers who opt for cheaper handsets, compared to those taking the latest hi-end models.
Flext offers bundles that can be divided between minutes and texts by customers. It has proved a massive success for T-Mobile since its launch last year.
The Mix&Match tariffs will come with 100, 300, 500, 700, 900 and 1,100 bundles and like Flext will allow customers to decide how to use their allocation of minutes and texts (One text will equal one minute). For instance, someone on Mix&Match 500 will have 500 minutes to divide between calling minutes and texts as they wish. Customers will also get 300 free on-net (i.e. 3-to-3) minutes a month and free voicemail.
The bundles will range between £15-£27 a month, although this will differ depending on the handset chosen. Mobile Today cited a Sony Ericsson K610i on Mix&Match 500 would raise the cost to £18 a month, while a Nokia N95 on the same tariff would cost £30 a month.
