New Network Launches Unlimited International Calls on PAYG
There's a new network in town and it's kicking things off with a tasty deal that offers unlimited international calls.
Alpha Mobile, the UK's newest mobile phone carrier, has just announced a new Pay As You Go Deal that offers customers with a £30 PAYG SIM card unlimited international calls for 30 days. The offer covers landlines in 75 countries, including Australia, the Dominican Republic and Hong Kong, and landlines and mobiles in 19 countries.
Aside from this wonderful deal, Alpha's rates are decent enough with 2p Alpha-Alpha calls, 5p local calls, and 10p to UK mobiles. For SMS and data you're looking at 10p per text and 5p per MB. Roaming is where it really gets scary, with 1MB of data costing £16.99 and calls costing 46p (Europe), 92p (US), £1.84 (Middle East), or £2 (rest of world) per minute.
Alpha Mobile is a PAYG MVNO (mobile virtual network operator). MVNOs (such as Tesco Mobile, Virgin and, now, Alpha Mobile) don't own their own physical network or infrastructure. Instead they lease network from other operators. Alpha uses Vodafone's network and is owned by international telecoms company Alpha Telecom.
"Following the 16-year successful heritage of Alpha Telecom our landline service, we’ve launched Alpha Mobile taking our customer promise to deliver high quality, low-cost products and services, to the mobile market," said Zafar Mirza, CEO at Alpha Mobile. "Alpha Mobile is the ideal service for anyone wanting to save money on UK and international calls when using their mobile device."

Not unlimited as their T/C says majority of the calls should be made outside office hours, up to 60 mins and not more than 1500 mins a month...So that makes it NOT unlimited....
