Take Broadband Anywhere with BT

BT has announced the launch of BT Total Broadband Anywhere, an all-inclusive package which offers a free, internet-capable Smartphone, the BT ToGo, worth around £150, and BT’s Total Broadband service in the home.
BT Total Broadband Anywhere is available on four different tariffs, each offering unlimited wi-fi downloads and 10MB GRPS data downloads, with additional usage charged at £1.50 per MB. Up until 31 July 2008, all BT Total Broadband Anywhere customers will receive unlimited GPRS usage for no additional cost. After that date, customers will be able to choose whether they wish to continue with unlimited GPRS (at an additional charge, which we are still trying to get BT to confirm,) or retain the 10MB inclusive allowance.
Each tariff is offered on a minimum 18-month contract, and each is available at a reduced rate for the first three months. The entry-level option is Broadband Anywhere 50, offering 50 minutes of talk time and 50 texts for £29.99 per month (£23.99 for the first three months). Broadband Anywhere 150, offers 150 minutes of talk time and 100 texts for £39.99 per month (£33.99). Broadband Anywhere 250 offers 250 minutes of talk time and 150 texts for £44.99 per month (£38.99). Finally, Broadband Anywhere 600 offers 600 minutes of talk time and 700 texts for £59.99 per month (£53.99).
“Communications services are converging, and it is clear that customers want consistent access to the things that matter not only at home, but in the palm of their hands wherever they are,” says BT Managing Director, Consumer, John Petter. “When shopping, waiting for a train or having a coffee, Broadband Anywhere enables you to read e-mails, check the football score or compare prices.”
Broadband Anywhere customers get a choice of two BT ToGo Windows Mobile 6 Smartphones, the HTC S620 or S710. The HTC S620 handset is free, while the HTC S710 is free with Broadband Anywhere 250 or 600, and £29.99 on Broadband Anywhere 50 or 150.
When in range of a wi-fi hotspot, the BT ToGo connects to the Internet at broadband speeds and provides cheaper calls through BT Broadband Talk.
The BT ToGo integrates seamlessly with many other BT Total Broadband services, and is preconfigured with a BT e-mail address, although customers are able to set up other popular email accounts easily. In addition, the BT ToGo comes with mobile security software for virus protection.
It also has a built-in camera for taking photos and video clips, and comes complete with a media player. The inclusion of BT Snap & Send means that photos taken with the BT ToGo can be quickly transferred to a personal online BT Digital Vault so they can be safely stored or instantly shared with family and friends.
At home, Broadband Anywhere customers get BT’s premium Option 3 Total Broadband service, including a free, future-proof black wireless Home Hub with Hub Phone, download speeds of up to 8Mb/second with unlimited downloads, advanced online security, free 5GB Digital Vault secure online storage, and free 24/7 customer support. 
All Broadband Anywhere customers automatically join the BT FON wi-fi community. Using any wireless device, including the BT ToGo, customers get unlimited wi-fi access at more than 82,000 BT FON Hotspots in the UK, a further 190,000 hotspots around the world and over 2,500 BT Openzone hotspots in the UK and Ireland.
