+Mobile Provider

The telecommunication’s provider I use is 3.

It is 20 euro each month on pay as you go for unlimited data.

This data can run up to 15GB of internet usage.

Since signing up to applications such a ‘Viber’ and ‘Whatsapp’, I primarily use the internet to communicate with my contacts.

To suit my needs, I require less talk time and more sufficient internet deals.
