T-Mobile’s open mobile Internet service will soon be available for £7.50 a month as an add-on to the network operator’s successful Relax and Flext tariffs.
Unlimited web’n’walk will offer more T-Mobile customers than ever before the chance to browse, e-mail and chat on the move whenever they want. A range of new handsets, (available from June), a revamped homepage (with more categories and webmail links) and improved e-mail support will increase the service’s appeal.
As web ‘n’ walk offers access to the open internet (by way of contrast to traditional “walled garden” WAP services), customers using the web’n’walk service are able to browse the web how they want and are free to log on to whatever websites they choose.
Phil Chapman, Marketing Director of T-Mobile UK, said: “By making the service unlimited and framing it as an add-on to Relax and Flext tariffs, web’n’walk becomes a core part of our product range.
“Along with the impending introduction of several new web’n’walk-capable handsets, what we have now is a truly open mobile internet service that will appeal to a much wider audience. Our aim is to make web’n’walk the choice for any mobile phone user who wants to access the Internet on the move – whether it’s to stay one step ahead of the news or to express themselves through moblogs.”
The availability of a new range of web’n’walk handsets will coincide with the launch of a massive multi-million summer advertising campaign.
Chapman added: “Our web’n’walk summer ad campaign marks another stage in an exciting year for T-Mobile. As well as revamping web’n’walk, we are currently rolling out our innovative Flext tariff, and we will be opening an unprecedented number of new T-Mobile shops this year.

T-Mobile seem to be shaping up quite nicely now, and be a serious alternative. I'm becoming quite tempted by their FlexT tariff for when my contract runs out, and that web'n'walk for £7.50 is quite cheap. Silly question, is that their 3G service, or their version of O2 Active/Mobileweb?

I just recently switched to T-Mobile after 6 years with O2 and I'm not regretting it 1 bit.
Aside from being the last network to jump on the 3G bandwagon I feel that they are definately leading the way in terms of contracts available.
Web'n'Walk is simply a "bolt on" that allows you free web/wap access, it's not 3G.

I must admit the new FlexT tariffs and the Web'N'Walk are some of the best tariffs around but t-mobiles network coverage is the worst out there which is the only reason i won't ever switch over to them until they sort it

I completely agree with you,T-Mobile is no doubt the worst network,I've had so many bad experiences with them over the years,I will never go back to them..I don't mind paying more for a reliable service.
