BT returns to mobile

Posted: 8 May 2008

British Telecom (BT) has launched a new mobile phone aimed at customers who favour the types of offering similar to that of Blackberry and iPhone.

The main feature of BT ToGo is that the device switches itself between internet WiFi zones and its rented Vodafone mobile network, depending on where the user is.

Users get unlimited internet access at home or within any of the 2,500 WiFi zones and 82,000 BT FON Wifi hotspots in the UK.

In addition, they get free mobile minutes and texts and a 10MB monthly download when using the BT mobile phone network.

John Petter, managing director of BT's consumer division, said: "Communications services are converging, and it is clear that customers want consistent access to the things that matter not only at home, but … wherever they are."

BT has also launched BT Total Broadband which enables users to access the internet via Wifi and BT Openzone hotspots for an initial three-month rate of £23.99.
