HONG KONG, 30 June 2008 – Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited (“Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong”) today announced four specially designed price plans for iPhone 3G™ customers in Hong Kong. The Company will offer iPhone 3G™ for as little as HK$0, and each plan comes with at least 500MB data usage and unlimited on-net SMS. In addition, Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong will include credits to apply for the Company’s multimedia content including picture downloads and video streaming, as well as text-based content including stock quotes and news.
Apple's iPhone 3G™ combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast† as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built with the recently released iPhone SDK.
"iPhone 3G™ will herald a leap in mobile data consumption. Customers will love using the revolutionary iPhone 3G™ to explore the mobile Internet and exchange information while on the move. We foresee that the new generation customers will no longer go after call plans with excessive call minutes; rather they will look for price plans that offer them complete ease of mind when consuming mobile data. We are enabling customers to fully embrace the mobile Internet world by redefining mobile tariffs with four data-centric price plans that are ideal for mobile data consumption," said Amy Lung, Chief Operating Officer, Mobile, Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong.
