You know when economic times are hard when the mobile networks start offering some cracking deals. T-Mobile has launched a new scheme so that punters can buy add-ons to their service package.

Called Boosters, the add-ons are available to both contract and PAYG customers. The four categories available are

Talk and Text - a plan more suited for customers who call and text a lot.

Travel - for customers who spend a lot of time traveling around Europe. Euro boosters give customers 50 per cent extra credit for free: for example. a Euro 10 Booster costs £10 and gives you £15 credit for either calling or texting.

International calling - for customers who call overseas regularly.

Internet - giving contract customers better rates for connecting to the internet while on the go. Ideal for keeping up to date with major sporting events, using online maps to find your way on a UK holiday, or in situations where you can't use your main broadband connection, such as when moving home.

Boosters are available in four price denominations: £2.50, £5, £7.50 and £10 and can be used on their own, as a one-off or in conjunction with each other, giving customers the flexibility to create a plan according to what is going on in their lives.

More information can be found at T-Mobile stores and online at www.t-mobile.co.uk/booster.
