X-Series from 3
Take your online world with you
The X-Series from 3 is all about having your TV, home PC and all the best of the web
on your mobile. So, basically there’s no reason to stay in any more because you get
access to everything you need when you’re out and about.
Share photos. Download podcasts. Search Yahoo! Make free Skype calls. Or bid on
eBay. Do all these things, and loads more, without being stuck in front of your PC.
And here’s the icing on the cake. You can even watch what’s on your home TV using
Sling, or grab les from your home PC with Orb.
We could go on. And on. So check it out for yourself.
All of these services work on X-Series mobiles just like they do on your PC so now
you get the best of the web when you’re out and about. All X-Series services will
work when there’s video coverage on the 3 network in the UK and overseas. But the
X-Series services in this guide, except for Orb and Sling, will work in our UK standard
coverage as well.

Yahoo! Search
The best of the internet, on your mobile

websites. Now, with so many sites designed to work on mobiles you can get the best
of the web on your phone. We’ve teamed up with Yahoo! to bring you a mobile
internet experience that works just like it does on your PC. So you can go to your

You can’t use some websites (including adult websites) and some websites aren’t
compatible with mobiles.

To get the most out of eBay on your mobile, you’ll need an eBay and PayPal account.
