Texts and phone calls are dead – if you spend more time using Facebook than you do tapping out texts and barking into your handset , you need a phone that’ll keep you in touch, no matter which website, network or phone your friends use.
3 is the only network with a phone that’ll do just that, it’s called the INQ 1 and for £15 a month it’ll replace your computer and keep you in touch better than any other device in the world.
How? By grabbing information from Facebook, Skype and Windows Live Messenger, and showing it alongside all the usual texts and multimedia messages you’d expect.
You’ll get RSS feeds too, so all the latest news (or updates from other social networks) flows right to your pocket. And the best bit? It all works seamlessly.
Look up friends in your address book and you’ll see their latest status updates right next to their name. The INQ 1 will even show if they’re online for instant messaging or a Skype call. All Skype calls are free, so the INQ 1 actually helps you save money.
That’s aside from all its normal phone features. Your £15 a month will get you unlimited texts and mobile internet access, as well as 75 minutes of voice calls to any network.
The INQ 1 really does connect you to every network at once, whether it’s a chat network like Windows Live Messenger, a social network like Facebook or the mobile phone network for standard calls and texts.
You’re even connected when the phone’s in standby. It’ll give you an alert when you’re tagged in a Facebook image, or get a new instant message, just as it will when you receive a text or phone call.
Can you name another phone that does that? Didn’t think so. The INQ 1 is a true next-generation phone, and it’s exclusive to 3.
