BT returns to the mobile phone market with new 4G LTE plans

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">After a decade has passed since the company was involved in the mobile phone market, BT today announced new 4G LTE plans for the UK.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/bt-returns-mobile-phone-market-new-4g-lte-plans' title="BT returns to the mobile phone market with new 4G LTE plans"><img src='(http://www.imore.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/03/bt-tower-press.jpg)?itok=FXi3AE0G' />[/url]</p> <!--break--> <p>BT has re-entered the UK mobile phone market after the company announced plans to purchase EE for £12.5 billion (http://www.imore.com/bt-confirms-acquisition-ee-125-billion). The comms giant will initially use spectrum provided by EE in a partnership, as well as spectrum BT owns itself. To entice customers, BT will offer those who sign up to the new 12-month contracts (http://www.bt.com/mobile) the ability to watch Premier League football matches via an app.</p> <p>The company will also offer an aggressively-priced basic plan, which will include 200 minutes, 500MB of 4G data and will set customers back by £10 a month (£5 a month if you already hold a BT broadband subscription). Everything announced today so far is SIM-only too, enabling consumers from other networks to migrate across using handsets they already own. BT will also sell handsets from its online store.</p> <p>The move is more of a holding plan, a temporary measure while talks continue regarding the £12.5 billion takeover of EE by BT. As noted above, BT was previously involved with the mobile market in the form of Cellnet, which the company sold to O2 (http://www.imore.com/tag/o2) who was subsequently picked up by Telefonica. It'll be interesting to see how the UK market shapes up should the EE acquisition go ahead.</p> <p>Source: BT (http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/phones-tablets/bt-launches-the-uks-best-value-4g-mobile-plan-for-bt-broadband-customers-11363970677916)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/44c9dfc7/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
