They will also benefit from faster download speeds and video calling. The launch also marks the arrival of a new and improved version of the innovative O2 Active portal, which has been re-designed to take advantage of richer, faster, more capable 3G-based features.
- See and hear your friends with video calling
- Fast downloads of games, video clips and much more
- Access the mobile Internet up to four times faster
O2 Active The new O2 Active 3G service offers intelligent, personalised and faster access to a wide range of unique and innovative content. A new customisable home page automatically updates to reflect individual and personal preferences.
This includes interactive gaming, music videos and full track music downloads, featured artists and bands, sports highlights and new custom mobile micro-sites from O2's content partners such as Ministry of Sound, Ents 24, Time Out, Emap, and MTV, all of which have been identified as having a strong appeal to O2 target customer groups.
O2 Video Calling Owners of specific handsets will also be able to make video calls across the O2 and all other UK 3G networks, allowing them to see as well as hear each other.
Tariffs The new 3G services will be priced at identical rates as existing GPRS (2.5G) tariffs. O2 video calls will be priced the same as voice calls for a promotional period*. Content will continue to be a combination of free, pay per use and subscription based pricing.
