With 3 you can also download video content such as celebrity interviews, movie clips, comedy shorts and exclusive Barclaycard Premiership action, and once it’s saved on your handset, you can watch it to your heart’s content. And if you’re lost or stuck for a choice of where to go, the ‘Find’ service is perfect. 3’s My Nearest will tell you where your nearest pub, cinema or cashpoint is and give you a map on how to get there. |
