Sony Xperia Z1 is £45 on One Plan with Three.
Seems the monthly cost for all new 4G phones is going up at Three!
Source please?
According to Three's press release you are wrong-
You will be able to pre-order the Sony Xperia Z1 from tomorrow at Three with an upfront cost of £99 with various 24 month contracts. The Ultimate Internet 500 plan costs £34 a month and offers 500 minutes, 5000 texts or the Ultimate Internet 1000 costs £36 a month and offers 1000 minutes and 5000 texts, both with All-You-Can-Eat data.
Despite there being no one plan mentioned i can guess it'll be £38pm + £99 upfront.
But yes, you're correct in that there are stealth increases to Three's price plans in terms of the extra couple of quid per month and the higher upfront charge.
I guess these texts and emails are only coming through to people with 4G ready devices. I have a Nexus 4 and haven't heard anything.
As for o2 and their texts, it is nice to see they're on the bleeding edge of mobile technology...
I have a Nexus 4 on a sim only monthly one plan and had the text this afternoon, so I guess everyone will get it eventually! I'm glad I took the £15 a month offer a few months back.

Yep £38 and £99 up front is also an option.
No source sorry. I rang them up and asked on the 5th as it said on site can pre order on phone or store!
That along with £45 and nothing up front were the two offers I got when I called to upgrade.

£45pm with no upfront cost is pretty high tbh.
The £38pm is alright compared to their previous price plans but the £99 upfront is a bit too much. Although i know for a fact that a lot of Three's *New* phones this month are going to have high upfront costs.
I don't know if anybody's noticed it but three have stopped giving cashback via TCB and Quidco...
Three are going to need all the cash they can get the way they're going. No good giving it away now.
It's going to be really interesting to see how this "free" LTE pans out.
Good luck to them I say. It's like David and Goliath.

Well tbh it's just Quidco and TCB who have stopped the cashback. Yet Three are still paying all other affiliates just fine.
I don't understand why Three would continue paying other affiliates yet not pay TCB or Quidco.
On 17th July EE will be launching a summer promotion offering double speed 4G and greater data allowances for consumers.
Customers who sign up to a 24 month 4GEE phone plan before 30th September 2013 will receive both double speed 4G and data allowances which are double, triple or even quadruple the size of the standard plans1 for the duration of their contract. Existing customers can take advantage of the bigger data allowances offered during the promotion by upgrading their plan to the next price point.
The promotional offer is available on a range of plans, starting from £26 per month for 500MB, up to 20GB for £51 per month, all with unlimited UK calls and texts. Separate plans for small business customers are also available.
I think they might change a bit based on the fact these are promotional prices at the moment. Or do you think/know that EE are going to keep these promotional prices/triple data as permanent? Plus i thought they're going to start charging extra for double speed?

If they planning keep same sort of prices they need at least have a 3GB/4GB option as at Moment it goes from 2GB to 10GB that seems quite a leap.

I can imagine if they did decide to put up prices to gain money for the 4G rollout they still would want to undercut the prices offered by the other networks.

Oh O2 crack me up with their 3G plans
I have a Nexus 4 on a sim only monthly one plan and had the text this afternoon, so I guess everyone will get it eventually! I'm glad I took the £15 a month offer a few months back.
I also noticed that
You have no idea how much I laughed at this

Or £46 for 10 GB with 4G for 98% by end 2014.
Whether they keep to these times remains to be seen!
Bear in mind EE's new customer pricing is going up at the end of this month. Where as Three's will likely decrease with the Xperia Z1.
Obviously that means nothing if you buy the phone on release day.
Haha very good!:D

Any source for this? Not seen it myself!

Without a bundle, it is 3p per texr, 2p per minute and 1p per MB.
All the above apply to 4G as well, and the 321 price thing has just launched, so i doubt the price will change.
I i was going down the 4G route, id much rather buy a 4G phone off ebay, then use the £15 topup per month.
So you're saying they're going to stay the same?

Having got 27 megs download on their 3.9G network on the Dublin Road in Belfast just the other day, I'm not too bothered.
Very funny

Any expansion on your original post?
Oh and i'm glad the O2 joke got a good response haha
