Telecom begins preorder for Samsung Galaxy SIII

21 May 2012

Opening up a new communications universe - Telecom begins preorder for Samsung Galaxy SIII

Telecom is pleased to announce that their customers can be one of the first to get their hands on the Galaxy SIII by pre-ordering the device from today at the Telecom website.

Telecom’s Chief Marketing Officer, Jason Paris says the new Samsung Galaxy SIII is perfectly suited to New Zealand’s only 100% 3G mobile network.

“Our Smartphonenetwork™ continually delivers smartphone customers an exceptional experience in terms of speed, coverage and reliability – and that’s why we’re so excited as you must give the cutting edge Galaxy SIII the network it deserves.”

“Last year’s Samsung Galaxy SII was awarded best smartphone at the 2012 Global Mobile Awards and was well received on the Smartphonenetwork™. The SIII’s new features like instantly capturing and sharing photos and videos using face and motion recognition makes it another brilliant addition for Telecom.

“The device is also ideal for business customers using mobile applications to become more agile and better able to respond to customer needs, increasing efficiency and productivity.

“With a raft of different functions and innovative applications, demand for the Galaxy SIII both here in New Zealand and overseas has been remarkable since the reveal earlier this month. We’re excited to be offering the opportunity for people to be one of the first in line to try it out,” says Mr Paris.

On a 24-month contract, the GSIII will cost $0 upfront on Telecom’s $120 smartphone plan, or $199 on Telecom’s $100 smartphone plan, or $399 on Telecom’s $80 smartphone plan.
