You may have noticed an exclusive C Mobile offer appearing in The Independent newspaper over the past couple of weeks.
It’s a great offer for readers of the Independent. Pay just £5 and get £10 airtime on the SIM. Then you can double each of your first 3 top ups, up to a maximum of £20. That’s potentially an extra £65 worth of credit!
The Bournemouth Echo was the latest newspaper to include a write up about C Mobile. Our fine leader, Jon Lobb, even got his face in the paper as a reward for all his hard work.

Topping Up made easy with C Mobile!
We are pleased to announce that the C mobile Trust has funded its first renewable energy project at Aldington Primary School in Kent for a Photo Voltaic Installation at the school.
The timing of the grant helped to bridge a funding gap to enable the project to go ahead and ensure that other funding was not lost, so the school have already started the build work and are on track to complete this work in record time.
Tim Evans of The C Mobile Trust said, “Inspirational people like Sandra MacCourt and the team of teachers and parents who have siezed the opportunity to make this project happen should inspire many more people to take up the challenge.
Our CEO, Jon Lobb, was recently interviewed for the Good Energy blog. C Mobile are proud to have partnered with Good Energy and Jon gave them a bit of a background on the C Mobile proposition, history and how we are approaching the market with our eco friendly offering.

There was a good article on C Mobile in the Western Gazette on Thursday – you can read about it here:
Challenge to Mobile Phone Giants by Firm in Old Barn
A COMPANY operating from a converted barn in a Dorset village is hoping its green credentials will help it take on the mobile phone network giants. C Mobile claims to help save the environment while providing cheaper pay as you go calls. Launched last month, C Mobile, of Tarrant Hinton, is selling SIM card-only connections with tariffs said to be 30 per cent cheaper than the major networks. The company is also pledging 20 per cent of its profits to community-based renewable energy projects. The network will operate on the mast infrastructure used by Orange and T Mobile.
We were delighted to see C Mobile are the subject of a new blog by Chris Arnold on the Brand Republic website. The blog, titled: ‘Forget T-Mobile, Green is the new Orange’ was published at the end of last week and welcomes C Mobile as the new eco-face of the mobile network industry.
The blog is an excellent read and we suggest you go ahead and check it out here:

‘Green Team’ at C mobile
C Mobile gives customers the green alternative for their network choice.
From today Pay As You Go (PAYG) users will have the chance to go green with their mobile phone network. C Mobile – which is offering SIM only connections, with competitive tariffs – will donate 20 per cent of its profits to community-based renewable energy projects.
Jon Lobb, founder and MD of C Mobile, said: “The mobile phone industry is working hard to improve its green credentials, but we want to push from within to set a greener agenda. We are also committed to wider environmental projects, so will give 20 per cent of our profits to the C Mobile Trust to help get community renewable energy initiatives off the ground.”
The GSM Association of mobile operators and manufacturers employed the Climate Change Group to look at this exact question to benchmark the current footprint of the industry.
They calculated that the industry as a whole used 245 Million Tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2009 based on the 4,600 Million users; equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of the Netherlands.
So each user has a footprint of 55 Kg of carbon per annum; most of this (84%) going on the power for the networks’ masts and operations, the rest on the handsets.
