'Jersey Telecom upgrades mobile broadband network speeds'

Jersey Telecom has upgraded its mobile broadband network with Super 3G technology to enable customers to access the internet at speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps using a mobile device or a laptop equipped with a mobile broadband modem, or dongle. The higher speed service is available island wide to all Jersey Telecom customers. Light or occasional users can access the service from GBP 4.99 per month, while heavier users and business professionals can upgrade to the inclusive data packages of up to 15 GB per month from GBP 24.99 per month. Meanwhile, the operator has launched a new text messaging-based loyalty programme to give mobile customers access to various deals, discounts and special offers from local businesses. The new 'JT Love Wednesdays' scheme rewards customers for their loyalty and supports local companies. To participate, customers must text the word 'LOVE' to the shortcode 241. They will be sent a unique pin code voucher direct to their mobile which can be redeemed at a number of local 'Love Wednesdays' partners. Offers available from launch include; 2 for 1 tickets at Cineworld, buy-one-get-one-free at Pizza Express, two-for-one meals all day at El Tico, Ingalill's Restaurant on Gorey Pier and 2 for 1 buffet menu at the Pomme D'or Harbour Room. More partners will be announced over the coming months. Each JT customer may claim one voucher per week and they can only be redeemed on a Wednesday at one of the JT Love Wednesday partners. Customers will be charged the price of a standard GBP 0.07 text message when they claim their voucher code.
