Mobile operator 3 is expected to launch a pre-paid service this week, according to the Sunday Business Post. Since its launch last July the mobile firm has only offered services to bill-paying customers who can avail of third generation (3G) phone services such as video calling.

They don't have it and don't know when it'll be in. I just ordered it today from the 3 website. I did it before 2 so it should be delivered tomorrow. Sending off my transfer of number form now to try and speed things along.

TCamen wrote: I've had the 6280 on 3 UK for a few weeks now. I had to return the first one after 2 days because it crashed within 5mins of switching it on, and repeatedly crashed when using nearly any application - music player, web browser etc. Also the slider was very loose, and the top section wobbled from side to side and when you push buttons on the front, there was a lot of give in it up/down. When I went to return it in Phones4U, they barely asked what was wrong, as I could see at least 5/6 other people sitting @ desks returning 6280s. They exchanged it no questions asked, though when I asked if they'd had many returns, he lied badly and said "no more than normal, as with any new handset there's always a few faulty ones". My second handset has only crashed once in 2 weeks, but though the slide is much more solid, it still moves from side to side, and it makes me worry about accidentally making it really loose every time I slide the cover up or down. The volume of maximum ringtone settings is also quite low. I was in a not-totally packed bar, but still had trouble hearing a text or phone call ringing. Apart from those few niggles, I really like the phone - the battey life is good, the screen quality is fantastic (though you have to be VERY careful of dust getting inside the cover). Music videos and stuff look much clearer on the screen than it did on my V975 on 3 Ireland, and the built in speaker is very very clear - MP3 ringtones sound excellent..when you can hear them Overall I'm a happy customer though, miles better than the V975!

I thought that's why 3 Ireland delayed the launch here? cos they waited for an upgraded handset & software from Nokia?
TCamen wrote: Well unless 3 Ireland will be getting completely different stock there's every chance the bugs will still be present, I mean I only got mine a few weeks ago, and they've been selling them here in the UK since December..
Note, we do not currently offer international roaming options for prepay customers, but are working hard towards building up an extensive portfolio of partners.
