Don't worry if you can't read the paper in a crammed bus, as Three offers free access to The Times to all new customers for three months.

Even after that, fans of the Times on Pay As You Go will be able to view the content for free as long as they top up every 30 days.

However, those on contract with Three will have to pay £2 per month, quite cheaper when compared to £2 a week News International charges.

The offer also includes bonuses such as access to the iPad Times edition, invitations to exclusive events and cinema screenings, as well as offers on theatre tickets, hotels and various competitions.

Head of Customer Propositions at Three, Alys Mathew commented:

"As more people consume news online, a partnership with The Times is a perfect offer for our mobile broadband customers.

"We're happy to expand the reach of The Times online readership across the country to more mobile devices."
