He'll be using 3 in the U.S

Other countries already in the plan....

Australia
Austria
Denmark
Finland
France
Hong Kong
Indonesia
Israel
Italy
Macau
Norway
Republic of Ireland
Sri Lanka
Sweden
Switzerland
United States of America

And New Zealand

Same networks. So I would guess so.

Adding Spain to the list is a massive game changer.

scorchio .... Def staying with three now !!

in Spain it certainly is only 3g but it's generally fast enough.

As people on this thread have previously mentioned, the speed is usually good enough for browsing and not normally good enough for streaming

great, i'm going on holiday to spain on next month

Hi there, I've used it in California twice now and found the speeds to be slow - sorry no exact speeds. It was fine (and extremely helpful) for Google Maps and checking in on Facebook but I would imagine you'd struggle streaming media or uploading large files in good time.

In lanzarote at the moment 3G is fine in fact used it for going live in Facebook as hotel wifi was not strong enough

I was just in HK and it worked fine. Given that one can only use this in a phone (no tethering) and most people are likely to have a relatively limited allowance, I am just wondering why people are so hung up on speed. Surely 2Mb is good enough for phone browsing ?,

on a similar Note I think they limit to the speed while you are abroad. I just came back from hk and had been on "3 " hk. my speed is never above 2mb and in most cases I just less than 1.
HK actually has a very good 4G speed and o was comparing with my friend who has a local 3 sim, he is getting over 10mb on download.
so pretty crap for me.

hi, I'm considering changing from EE to 3 mainly for the free abroad mobile data, however only concern is the speed. I heard it is 3g only not 4g for roaming and even within uk speed is slower than ee. for those using it, what are your experiences?

quote=gunner786]Now with brexit whats gonne happen to these feel at home tarriffs?[/quote]Brexit should have no effect on Feel at home as it includes countries not in the EU like Indonesia and USA

Now with brexit whats gonne happen to these feel at home tarriffs?

Yes it does work on path sims but it might be the case that the sim needs to be active for 30 days before your trip.
But, I am not sure if that applies only to contract sims, rather than path offering.

will it work on pay as you go sims? might just buy sim for my soain trip?

I recent changed from EE to 3 and spent 3 weeks in Oz with no worries at all from using my phone. best decision I made changing.

Touchy

This is definitely not strictly enforced. My daughter was in a 3Athome country for 4 months and had no problems. However, she did come back home every 4 - 6 weeks, so was able to intersperse a little UK use into the overseas use. I am not sure what happens if you try and use for a longer period without the odd UK connection.

Seems like its 2 months within a 12 month period:

Is there a restriction on this, I'm going to the states for six months and want to keep my uk number if I switch to 3 will this work for me?

I used feel at home when I went to Los Angeles. I wasn't charged anything extra when I checked my phone bill. Happy Days! :smile:

I've just come back from Barcelona and it was all free for me. I got a text from three saying I have saved £1600...

Re-read the title and the date it was posted :smiley:

I went to Spain last summer and used my phone as usual on 3...no additional charges, I thought Spain was already included??

does anyone know if ID mobile enjoys the same roaming benefits seeing as they use the 3 network?

I went to Spain last October and Spain was a feel at home country then.

I'm sure you have tried it but shutting the phone down and restarting, any difference?

Are you on a pay monthly contract?

Is it not finding Movistar when you do a network search?


I only ask as it worked perfectly for me in Barca. Hope you get it sorted.

I'm in the Barcelona right now came yesterday hoping it's gonna be feel home but No service!

Why not use the Here Maps app and download the relevant maps before you leave the UK?

At one point in France you had to use Orange. Seems that's no longer the case and it will select automatically. So far I've used this in France, Italy, Spain including Canary Islands, and Ireland,
I'm in Lanzarotte now having come from Fuerteventura via Barcelona and Nice. Worked seamlessly all the way

Did you check with Three that you had roaming enabled?

Thanks!

It's Movistar and Orange. It will automatically swap between them. If you try and manually pick another one like Vodafone it won't connect you to the network.

silly question, but do all mobile providers in the destination country work. if not, how do you know if you are using a feel at home partner?

specifically, which providers in Tenerife should I use?!

Ah noooo, didn't see the date lol

I went to Magaluf in July just gone, and I received the Feel at Home text and also a text when I got home saying saying how much it would've cost if I didn't have the Feel at Home?

I'm in Fuerteventura and it automatically found Movistar. There was a period in France where it would only work on Orange but I think that's been sorted

No, Im just back from Cancun and it is one

Does it include Mexico?

I don't know if it's been mentioned but it's not automatically switched on, you have to go to your "my three" account (non mobile version i think)and activate it before you travel. You only have to do this once not every time. I had the issue not working in new York only way I could get it to work was to contact three via twitter to get them to activate as it needs to send you a text which if you cannot connect to the network you won't get a text! Any way the customer care was really helpful and stated that it's not usually activated and to activate simply visit three website and log into your account . Maybe that's why for some people it didn't work?

Using in Lanzarote at the moment, its a godsend as the hotel WiFi is really struggling .

I used it in California etc last Sept, I had an issue using the data and needed assistance from 3 to remove a profile from settings before it would work. Also used VoIP successfully with the data.

it should do, I used it in Las Vegas last year and France last week and my phone automatically found the network

going to Florida in March and I am with 3, when you get there does it automatically get a signal or do you need to activate phone.

April 2015 it says on the headline. Probably pops up every time someone comments.
Now see what you've started -:smiley:

Is this new? I used feel at home last year in barcelona so unless they took it off and then added it back in its old news.

T&Cs state no tethering of streaming last time i looked.

Yes it works in the US, have used it it New Jersey, California, Washington State and Origon. Tethering is not allowed though and you will probably only get 3G speeds.

it does

yes

You can use whatever you have in your balance including the 150mb bonus data. for short trips I tend to top up 5 just to get the bonus data and all I use is the bonus data. Just have to be careful not to go through the 150 else it will eat into your cash balance really quick.

on longer trips I use the cash balance already in my account from these small top ups to buy the add on.

I can't time travel. it should be 1st April 2016 (not 2015)

Does this work with the 50p a day email add on ??

three network works fine for me in London. Amazing that they have finally added Spain! BTW all network operators with be required to follow Three and end roaming within the next 2 years as part of a European initiative

I fear if 3 becomes huge it will lose good customer service..

horrible network. you might be able to find their network reception in Spain as in the UK it only works on roof tops

stupid question incoming: do I have to enable roaming to take advantage of this?

Anyone know if these Sims can be purchased at Heathrow airport? I'll be flying in from Australia with my family in April, and these seem ideal for our 2 months in Europe. We have a stop over at Heathrow before flying to Barcelona. We spend 6 weeks in Europe before returning to the UK for a couple of weeks and if we could pick up some of these on our way through we'd be set!

Is this signal just as **** in all the other countries?

Be careful if using theThree in Touch app whilst abroad.
My daughter had a bill of £66.00 for a 45 minute call home whilst in Canada.

Does a pre paid or paygo sim work for data overseas or only monthly contracts?

Currently in Spain and the £5 500mb data add on on a regular SIM works fine (I am actually using it asI type this). I have not tried a data only SIM.

Can anyone conform whether this works with the basic 500mb data package, rather than a more expensive data + voice package ?

I am assuming that the Feelathome does not work with data only SIMS (is that correct ?) so what I am talking here is buying a 500mb data package for a voice and data SIM, not a pure data only SIM.

I used my phone when I was in Tenerife without any problems...

YWNA!

Anyone any tips for using in the Canaries . . . ?

If you have a PAYG sim you can add a package any time there is credit in the account, however long the sim has been active and wherever you are (certainly if you add via the internet or the Three app). Also bear in mind that incoming calls are fee whether or not you have an active package.

Do you need to have the number already activated a few months before you travel?
I am travelling to Spain next week, can I activate a bundle and use it while I'll be there?

Whilst part of me is really happy with the deal, the other part of me is annoyed. Last year I could tether whilst in Spain if I paid for a Euro Pass. Now I can't. Anyone know how to get round the tether block on Android or iOS?

Thanks for this. Three's 'Feel at Home' offer really helped when we went to France several weeks ago. Plus, they send you a text when you arrive back in the U.K. to notify you how much you would have spent!

i went to australia for 3 weeks and used a three PAYG sim.
Topped up £15 on my account and got something like 150mb data credit for free (i.e. my £15 was untouched).
I was able to use the 150mb as 'feel at home allowance'. when i almost used up the 150mb, i used the £15 credit on my account to buy the all in one add on: giving me All-you-can-eat data, 300 minutes, 3000 texts.

over the 3 weeks we used more than 7Gb of data going by the app counter! no probs whatsoever!
all that for £15. hassle free.

But last year paid £15 for the top-up inc calls and data and it worked quite well in the USA.
Occasionally, you'd get problems saying you had no credit but if you switch manually to another network it worked.

Beware of this. If you're on PAYG use your credit to buy a bunde/top up with inclusive calls/texts/mb or whatever you need. This will then be included.

If you don't the call/text/internet charges are NOT the same as in the UK. I got stung with this one.
Its something like 18p minute not 1p, and 10p for 1Mb instead of 1p. Makes a difference.

Ended up costing me. First £10 went in a day.

Super news.

Was happy to pay slightly more with 3 than elsewhere because I travel regularly. They're superb.

Thanks for reply, can you also confirm the data also applies i.e. 25GB per month when abroad? Cheers.

I got an answer from practical experience ! Any included items will be available e.g. the 5000 (?) free 3 to 3 mins that you get when first topping up, and the 150Mb data givien each time there is a top up + free incoming calls (for which I don't think even any credit is required, although I have not tested it out with no credit)

I have a question about this which I have not got to the bottom of. I understand that for PAYG one has to have a relevant add-on, but what I am not clear about is whether this has to be one of the £10 or £15 monthly packages.

Can (for example) the 5,000 free 3 to 3 minutes and 500 (?) texts which one is given when one first signs up on PAYG, or the 150Mb of data that one gets each time one tops up, be used ?

Does anyone know definitely what the answer is ?

lets go to spain now

I have and they exist...

Guess you don't have family members who were in Cyprus prior to 1974... My father in law grew up in Famagusta.

I have never met a Cypriot who considered themselves to be Turkish. I have met lots in the UK of different ages (who were there prior to the invasion and annexing) who would never even consider themselves Turkish. They are Greek.

Indeed - it's to prevent muppets like you buying one.

Ask the others and they're tell you they're Turkish. Cyprus and Greece are separate nations...

That is indicated by the small slash. However ask some Cypriots and they will tell you they are Greek.

Most people go to Spain for their holidays so this offer is very HOT :smiley:

it does include tablets.. Used my mobile broadband SIM in my iPad quite hapilly in italy last year

I am on three, but I didn't know about the tethering apps

Did anyone find out or know of a tether workaround?

I think there are apps out there to get round this , I think airdroid is one but not 100% sure

hurry up and add Greece please :-)

Thanks for the explanation and your time.

Get the SIM card, top up £10 or £15, this would remain as credit with no expiry if you do nothing else but it won't work as a feel at home SIM. So, you convert your freshly topped up £10 or £15 credit into an 'add on' which means you've converted the credit into an add on. An Add On lasts 30 days and now works as a feel at home SIM so calls, texts and data now come out of your add on allowance whether in the UK or in a feel at home country.. After 30 days the add on expires and you have no credit unless you top up again, and convert to an add on if required.

Just ordered 5 Sims in preparation for Holiday to Spain in August. Not decided if we port our numbers over or just use the Sims own numbers.
Will be interesting to see how 3 are indoors after I left them 3 years ago. In UK 4G is in our area and looking forward to seeing their speeds compared to gfifgaff 4g

As long as it's unlocked like you said, it will work perfectly. :smiley:

Thankyou - I assume the sim card works ok in the first edition moto g?

Sooooo is it worth getting one of these on pay as you go and using an add-on for my holiday to majorca is august? I am currently on a virgin pay monthly contract and phone is unlocked

Bought a sim card and used in florida last year. Excellent.
Good news its spain now as well.

All is not as good as it seems for Three PAYG. Evidently you have to buy an Add-on to get Feel At Home, or have I got it wrong?

They can't be charged by their phone company because they are dialling an UK number. Even if you are aboard without (Feel-At-Home) and your friends calls you it has to be you who is charged the roaming charges, not them as they are, again, dialling an UK number. Any mobile provider simply can't charge them because they don't have to know where you are right now. Hope that helps.

Thanks preecey. Do you mind telling me how you know this - from experience or is it declared in writing somewhere? I know it is common sense that it would be charged like normal but it would be comforting to see it in writing.

You're right.

Whenever they call or text you, they'll be charged as normal.

Say I am in the USA.

My friend sends me a text message.

I have a three contract - feel at home - so I receive the text message / nothing deducted from my allowance.

What does my friend pay to send the message?

Likewise, with calls. Do they pay like they are calling the USA, or does it come out of their allowance like they are calling someone in the UK?

Is this in writing anywhere? I assume they pay like they are contacting someone in the UK...? It has been difficult to get a definitive answer for this.

This is seriously awesome news. The Spanish are so backwards, lazy and peasantile try buying a payg data sim in Spain if you are not Spanish non resident. Horrendously expensive and virtually impossible. Just buy 2x 3 payg data sims for my spare phone and iPad 3G all sorted now by the sound of it. 3 will get a lot of business from this IMO.

Except I did ring & ask about this, was assured that actually I COULD use my ipad & my 5gig/month deal. Twice.
When I rang a 3rd time, to say it still didn't work, I was given other instructions re how to make it work. The point of my complaint was that 3 operators don't know much about this & cannot instruct their customers. Anyone recommend a pre-paid SIM deal that I can roam with?

Three have changed their partner in France to Orange France so now you have to select Orange France manually instead of just leaving network selection on automatic, avery nice Indian lady in customer support explained to me

I used to think 3 were dog dirt, but after going back to them they seem to have upped their game thankfully.

Roaming Europe is fine in theory but I couldn't get it to work on my ipad last year - twice. Yes, I rang 1st & checked for any special instructions but there were none. I made a formal complaint but heard nothing. I'll be in Europe again soon with my ipad but I'll carry a pre-paid backup SIM. J.

I am in Vegas now. Works a treat

How exactly does this work?

It's not clear from their website.

Can i go to France for say 2 weeks and use my phone both for UK calls and local french calls?
Or just phoning home?

scorchio .... Def staying with three now !!

Thanks. Very useful info!

No, you don't need to buy an Add-on to qualify.

I just topped up 10GBP and get 150MB free internet allowance.

The free allowance can be used at any feel free like home countries as well.

It saved me loads of money when travelling in Hong Kong and Macau!

Sorry if been asked before...
Does this also apply to the Pay as You Go 321 a/c
Cheers

No problem! :smiley:

That is very clear, thanks for your time.

Used this in Rome,excellent coverage.Just bought a SIM card PAYGO,topped up with £15.Which was more than adequate for a months use.

My Nephew is going to the USA and is on o2.

Am I right in thinking that family members in the UK on Three can phone him Free,
but for him to phone us Free we would have to get him a Three Contract or PAYG Sim before he goes?

Thanks.

Thank you Sir!

So just to clarify: Free for Three in UK to phone him in U.S regardless of his Network out there,
but he would need to take a Three Sim for it to be free for him to phone UK?

Thanks.

I hope they do Greece soon as I'm there in August for two weeks!

It's actually 3 months. You have to spend 9 months in the UK.

Excellent deal.

I've been really satisfied with Three for about 4 years now - perfect signal, performance, competitive on price, etc.

I like 3, been with them a few years, I just wish they would work on their signal in certain areas as some areas I get No Service at all and as I travel for work I need signal. I refuse to go leave though as other providers dont offer unlimited internet for the same price.

Make sure you activate your phone before you abroad. Think its an automated call

Sonypc100, does thus mean all those countries cost the same as uk to call to and from!
I had no idea 3 did this on their contracts that is very good indeed! I will certainly spread the word, but as I don't travel and am relatively poor, I will stick to Giffgaff. HOTTED!

Going to France on Good Friday. Hadn't realised it was in the list already.

Do I need to do anything or do I just use my phone as normal in France? I'm on the one plan....think i read somewhere tethering isnt included abroad?

As I say on these feel at home threads every time. Set up an account at http://www.18185.co.uk or http://www.1899.com & link your mobile number to it. You then dial the uk access number using your inclusive minutes & dial through to the local number at their very cheap discount rates. Or use VOIP via the data allownace.

I have a relative in the USA who is using a Three sim I gave her, it works out cheaper than any local SIM for the small amount she needs a mobile phone, because the credit doesn't expire!

Out of interest, what happens if you call a local number? eg a Spanish number whilst in Spain. Are you charged international rate or does it come out of your allowance?

Can I use this if I'm PAUG? Sorry can't check all 17 pages!

does this work with PAYG

I used it in the US a few months ago and connection was really slow - still better than nothing.

with feel at home, what happens when people from UK call you? Does it come out of your minutes?

I found this

"It's always free to receive calls and texts in a Feel At Home destination. Don't forget that when you're calling or texting back to the UK, you'll need to replace the first 0 in the number you're calling or texting with +44."

Can anyone confirm that calls received were not taken out of their minutes? And what does the caller pay? Does it work like a normal call to a UK phone?

Just a heads up, mine stopped working in France. A very nice Indian lady told me they had changed their partner to Orange France and I had to select that rather than rely on automatic selection. In Italy it's Three Italia or Wind

What I said, I'm with EE on a 4g extra plan and get free calls unlimited when I'm abroad. When I'm in europe I can call home and all the other european countries, the US and Australia free

Awesome :smiley: hot from me!

Thank the heavens i visit spain several times a year to see friends and i always have to go without the phone except the few days i allow myself the euro pass. Only thing im annoyed about is that my next holiday is at the end of march but spain doesnt come into effect until april.

Yes! About time!

Used it in Rome with no issues a while back, no bill issues. Just out of contract with three, this would be useful if I was staying as going to Spain in April, but the Customer Service is so bad and the general network availability in my local area is so poor that I need to move networks.

Damn it I am there now and I could have used that this week.

I would have thought so...

these are great but the plans themselves are not that cheap compared to Virgin for example where you get 1200 mins, 2 GB data unlimited texts half price for 6 quid

is there quid co on three or cash back or something. most decent plans on here are over 20 pounds and that's sim only. also will three sim work on normal unlocked Vodafone lg g3

Sorry, I have to say COLD.

Having used it & arrived home to bills, you then have to argue with some Indians paid SFA to waste your time with excuses why what you did was not covered by the roaming deal.

Imaging a phone company's CS claiming data was not included in a deal advertising data & then saying my mobile had connected to a company they must charge for access.

Used this in Hong Kong last month. While useful to have, the coverage wasn't good and I kept getting dropped off the network.
Constantly being told my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) couldn't register on the Three network in HK, and the times I did register the internet was slow and intermittent... it's the norm to getting dropped off dozens of times in 1 day!

I'm with EE and have been getting all the planned countries free for 2 years now

Fair enough. You used the word 'retain' and I made an incorrect assumption.

I wasn't playing any retentions game, I had been a customer for one month on a one month rolling contract and I was trying to get my PAC code to leave due to no service where I live or work. No amount of saying (IT DOES NOT WORK) didn't make a difference because that phrase doesn't appear in the tickboxes on their computer screen, saying poor signal seemed to work. I hate script monkeys who can't deviate or think for themselves.

Yeah honestly, I think you might be right. And at the time last July I'd have had that cap on against any additional costs and maybe there was an error shown on screen to the effect of "unable to allow data roaming due to spending cap". But that would conflict with what the Three advisor said, he said I can use feel at home even with the cap.

In fact you only have to go to another country. So you can go from spain to usa and spend longer than 1 month.

last year I was in Italy, USA and some other countries and it was around 2 months if not more and no issues at all in Italy or USA. Did not come back to the UK during that period.

just do not abuse it :smiley:

do three offer retention deals??

I didn't have to do that when in Australia and Bali last year.

OMG!! Didn't realize it was including New Zealand as well!! Going then for the Honeymoon later this year!! I just need Singapore to have the full lot for free!!

OH YEAH!!!
Next visit to my parents is going to be so much better!!

Do I have to contact three to add this feel at home service?

Heat added

I see your point.

But if you are playing the retentions game then you have got to expect the being passed around and interminable conversations, as that is par for the course. Every time I have argued and successfully got my half price Sky deal I have been on the phone for over an hour every time, whilst some Scot talks to me about football and the referendum whilst trying to convince me that he can only give me 20% off.

Three are the same. If you want a better than website price deal, you need to go through hell to get it.

But he can't either way because of the size of the vehicle...

I just came back from Dublin. at first I couldn't see any internet connection, only a restricted phone network. I went into 'data usage' from my phone network in settings and enabled 'data roaming' - this allowed my phone to work properly abroad. maybe you just need to enable this?

he's saying he WANTS to go down those routes, TT won't suggest/allow... perhaps you should ask for more details before assuming incompetence (it's the decent thing to do)

3 have their own network in Italy, Wind is a different company.

My bad i saw another post say they used Tmobile in another country i thought it was the same deal in most countries. Just checked with Three they use a mobile network in italy called "Wind" more info about them here Click here

Is there customer service still bad? They all still based in India?

Hot hot hot.

Saved me a fortune in the USA last year. Just remember you must have an active sim with them for 30 days before they can add this on.

Best ordering it a couple on months in advance to your holidays just to be sure

Then you havn't used it correctly: by adding the tonnage and dimensions of your coach, TomTom IQ will definitely not take you down such routes.

A UK in/out EU referendum may or may not happen in 2017.

EU law on roaming WILL kick in from December 2015

Fantastic! Going to Spain twice this summer! Woohoo!

don't think that's right: you dial 07*** number from US or any other "feel at home" country and it won't connect (unless you have some kind of international "assisted dialling" setting which transforms any number you type into +44).
You really need that "44" code (preceded by 00 in most of world, 011 in US, or just put "+" and you can't go wrong).

Heat added and thanks for posting! I used the Three PAYG SIM with Add-on last year in US (Orlando, Vegas and San Francisco) last year as Vodamoan wanted £5 per day plus charging if going over the data limit. Worked perfectly while there and have used here too as Vodafone in Norwich area is appalling. Was only clinging to them as I get a a little signal at home and can use in Spain too but with Three now including Spain it's bye bye Vodafone.

The Three in Touch app is great for calling or messages over WiFi.

I made the switch to Three last week. The ability to call, text and roam overseas is a huge bonus, as is the unlimited data usage at home. I understand that overseas internet usage is limited to 10GB - but that's plenty for a short trip away. I'm off to America on Saturday so this new contract will come in really handy!

I'm on Three, going to Spain in Feb. Annoying! :smiley:

I used this for two weeks in September when in USA worked without fault would probably say better reception that here. As far as I am aware you cannot teather while in a feel at home country

I cant believe three are the only network with this. So useful. But when I was in Paris last July it never worked... it didnt find anything, it might be because I put a spending cap on my account (i.e. blocked trying to call 0800 numbers etc, blocks trying to connect to data abroad) but a three representative said this wouldnt affect anything, and instead said maybe it wasnt available in France back in July 2014.

Thing is, it was... so nothing really makes sense. Im going to California in March/April and I hope to god it works there for me... I have a new contract now, the £15 pm 200min/AYCE/AYCE/4GB Hotspot. Hopefully it'll be different.

Has anyone used this in the USA? what kind of speeds do you get average/worst/best, and can you use your 4GB Hotspot?

I have a three mobile broadband mifi dongle thing. 15GB data allowance. Will I be able I use this in Spain? Or is this deal only for mobile phone contracts?

Is this feel at home package still viable if you work in Dublin? I spend 6 months a year roughly in Dublin in 2 week blocks. So two weeks in Dublin then two weeks in Belfast rotation.

if you and a mate went to spain, or any of the other countries listed, both on this three deal, could you ring each other?

No need to use the international code for others on holiday with you who are on 3, you call their numbers as you would do at home in the UK.

I've used it in Hong Kong and Australia on my current holiday. Was great in HK but seems to be data rate capped in Oz - whenever I posted a pic to twitter it cut me off.
Am in NZ at the mo and it's not available here til 1 April. Had to pay £23 for a sim with 1GB of data here for the 10 days I'm here - so it is superb they are going to offer it here in NZ too, just wish it was here now.

Switched to Three about 4 months ago and no regrets here! Glad to hear about this!

This is amazing news, unfortunately my mum is out there until April 1st!! Does anyone know what the best carrier to use over there for data is until then?

Scorchio! I was about to leave. That's kept me!

YES

Should have downloaded Nokia here - it is free and so much better than tomtom

Source?

This must be to make up for them dropping unlimited tethering (which is the only reason I joined them in the first place). Will probably stay with them though as I get very good signal and find there CS to be very good!

I used this in the States recently, and it was excellent. However it still cost me - calling any US number while I was there was expensive. I actually didn't need to call anyone in the UK (I used Facetime over wifi), but even just calling a cab, a restaurant or the airport was expensive. However, it was much cheaper per minute than O2.

However it is completely different in Europe - I found it worked out cheaper to use my O2 sim as data costs £2 a day for an unlimited amount (and was very fast BTW, especially!) but calls within any part of Europe were cheaper, at only 50p for up to an hour. With Three, calls within Europe cost a whopping 18p per minute. So you can call home for free, yeah, but you can't call locally.

So, it depends on how you use your phone. For the USA Three wins for data and local call charges. However for Europe, if you want to call within Europe, it is cheaper to use O2 - data will cost £2 a day and is unlimited (and fast) but calls are much, much cheaper than Three.

Does anyone know if Malaysia is covered by Three, or could recommend a sim to use when I am out there?

Payg work with this ?

Are they going to add North koreae

In NY, I found T-Mobile 2G to be often faster than AT&T 3G as it (AT&T) seems very congested and sound quality is poor for calls.

AT&T has better coverage but T-Mobile seems more reliable when available.

Prob 99/100 know this, but for those that don't: calls and texts back to the UK, and internet (max 25GB) come out of your 3 plan - other calls, e.g. local, do not, are paid for separately (though at better rate). Phoning someone else on 3 in same or other feel at home country also comes out of package.
I'm on 3, have used "feel at home" numerous times; as someone said, this feature alone makes 3 worthwhile (for those lucky enough to travel).

good deal, Voted hot
Already with three, and 3 weeks ago used their feel at home in Finalnd, with no trouble at all.
Brilliant :smiley:

Can't add enough heat. I'm going on holiday to Spain on the 6th so it's perfect.

Awesome network.

Really can't wait Til they add Mars, Venus and the Milky Way to this deal!! Then I'll give it plenty Toastyness :smiley:

Have had a truck sat nav. no good at all when doing something like a battlefields trip round Belgium/The Somme as it won't take you down roads you have to go down. Obviously the more I do it the more I remember it but for first time visits to places google maps is mega handy ☺

and the name of that plan is...?[/quote]

http://explore.ee.co.uk/4gee-extra-plans-roaming-benefits

this is the plan I am currently on. The other link is for the other option of paying £2 a day for unlimited calls/texts. I only pay for data should I so wish

just make sure int roaming activated. think you can do thus via website, otherwise give cs a call.

I wonder if this will be forever... Can you imagine a near future with 0 roaming charges for calls or internet, and all over the world?

The way it should be I guess...

Your not allowed to use your personal hotspot when using the Feel At Home Service. And all the canaries are included

Can anyone tell me if I need to do anything to allow my phone to be used abroad before I go? Or should it just work? I know I need to turn data roaming on but do I need to contact 3 at all? Any help is much appreciated! I'm on a pay monthly plan.

Used this in the USA fine with usual data speeds. Just make sure to connect to AT&T when there as the other networks don't work as well with UK phones for data (2G only). You might need to do this manually.

Not for long. :wink:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21148282

Egypt would be nice

Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo

THREE Please add Dubai & Canada sometime soon xx

To be available, albeit in the EU, from December 2015 from every network. So Three just getting a head start...

They have also added New Zealand as well as Spain..
Just got a Sim Only from 3 store today. Glad I did now :smiley:

Finally....

EE Link

http://ee.co.uk/help/add-ons-benefits-and-plans/call-or-going-abroad/roaming---using-your-phone-abroad/euro-talk-and-text-unlimited

Just a quick question for those on PAYG;

Is it possible to queue add-ons? I just tried to and my one expires tomorrow, but it just kept on refreshing the page. o_O My balance was the same - but ended up saying that I didn't have enough credit available.. I had £15 and was trying to buy the £15 add-on. Is this normal?

Thanks for that jedi

Thought so.. guess might need to remember to use the 44 code first when dialling.

I'm going to Three (321) in 2 weeks time, fed up with contracts and minutes I don't use, Will be handy having calls abroad and if I loose the phone no big worry of a £1000+ bill.

Nice one Three!

A few things....my main contract is on EE as I get all my call and texts to the UK and to any non UK number included in the plan all included. I can ring/text my family in Portugal whilst I am in France for example and it won't cost me a penny. I have to pay £2 for 100mb of data but I get 4G if available whereas 3 only have 3G deals at the moment.

Like I said earlier, the Internet I have found to be extremely slow in France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. It will not stream video or Skype very well. even Facebook takes ages to load, so surely the deal EE have, where you get call and texts included in virtually all of Europe is fairly good.

I got a mifi device on 3 due to my job working around Europe and I can honestly say the signal is more consistent on my phone (EE) and in my opinion it's worth just paying the £2 a day if I want data. otherwise I just connect to wifi.

Also, when I got the contract on 3 in December, I was told the 30 day thing isn't applicable any more and it seemed to be right as I used it in France 3 days later without a problem. I was also informed that you can only be out the country for 30 days at a time before it disconnects until you come back to the UK. Hope this helps someone.

Why not buy a decent TomTom truck?

The tomtom app is so much better than relying on having constant mobile data coverage though. Especially if you have the iphone version, the android version is rather stripped down in comparison.

awesome update! i am on o2 .. going back three asap

My s3 never worked in usa in november and december they said i was all set up .worked in mexico in may but cost me a lot no feel at home in mexico.

I have researched into this for a long time as my mobile phone bills were £300 plus a month. I am a continental coach driver and Internet helps me with Google maps etc especially in new places.
This is why I thought the 3 mifi device would be a godsend. I am only passing on information that I was told before I signed up although I do understand it wouldn't be the first time sales assistants have been wrong.

Having asked 3 why the speeds were so slow, I just got told it's because they only have 3G deals abroad. Even so, it should still be quicker than it is. ☺

Heat just for the Steven Gerrard picture :smile:

Dam it! I'm going to new Zealand for a month next week. Just too late

Sorry I don't know how to edit my original post but when I said 3 only have 3G deals, I meant abroad. They do not have 4G available abroad. I asked them as I have a 4G mifi device and have never received 4G whilst abroad, only on my phone with EE

Love 3! Been with them 10 years and never had an issue..recently used the 'feel at home' offer whilst in the States and it worked a treat! A great brand for the consumer...States then Spain in the next couple of months for me so perfect timing !

This is great news- will also mean u can use ur smartphone as a sat nav while on holiday- saves £50 from car rental places.

They just need to fix their web site so new users can register and top up!

Seriously though, anyone getting a new 3 SIM should be aware that their web based registration and/or top up for new customers is going through a bad patch - like it doesn't work at present. Older customers seem to be OK.

OMG. YES YES YES

Brilliant news! Makes me glad to be on Three.

A little warning for anyone taking their 3 phone abroad for the first time. I recently went to Italy and it didn't work at all initially, I'd read that roaming should be set up automatically if you're a contract customer, but it seems it wasn't for me. Unfortunately, the only way to activate it is to call up. and since my phone refused to pick up any network at all, I was a bit buggered. Thankfully I had a spare phone on a different network with me which I managed to use whilst in Italy to call their number and activate the roaming.

It'd be much better if they'd let you do it through their webpage (MY3), I I'd not had the spare phone, I'd have been a bit stuck.

I've got to say though, I think it's brilliant overall and was actually my main motivation for switching to Three. In Italy, I generally got fairly usable speeds, 2-4mbps down and 1-2 up.

Anyone know if they will be adding portugal?

now chavs can keep in touch with granny chav when they go to benidorm 3 times a year!

Turkey would be nice as well!

this is sick!

Er, no...

Any idea what's the best way to call from UAE, Qatar and Oman to the UK. I'm often there for work. Is there another company that anyone knows of???

Depends what you define as "cheap"

Three is the best network for 3G signal outside hands down, and the cheapest.

Spain is only one of two new counties being added by the way. The second one being New Zealand.

I might have missed this but it says it's free to call back home using this, but what if you want to call someone who is also on holiday in the same location? My family are all on 3 so this would be great for keeping in touch with each other while away as well.

Canada is NOT included

Three are fab - really ethical. One of my kids is on Three, the other with Talkmobile. On Three if they use up their data it sends a warning text then stops it until you buy a bolt on. With Talkmobile the first you know about it is a huge bill. The first time it happened I called them and put a limit on it, but it happened again and they didn't believe I had put the limit on - won't be with them once the contract is up!

HEAT

used it in florida to phone home and net all free super stuff, the web speed it not enough to stream etc just enough to view web slowly. have had my bill this month and it was normal amount. check online or phone 3 to confirm you are set up to use in the country you are going to.

Another step in the right direction.Hoping they will include India soon

it also includes NEW ZEALAND too.

Awesome!

Great news. Been with three since September moving from giffgaff which had poor Internet speeds. Used my phone in the USA for 2 weeks without a hitch although u need to activate it before hand to be safe and also it may not connect automatically so you have to select the roaming network partner manually.

They're separate nations...

If Rafa is coming back, and Rodgers gone, Stevie G will be using 3 at home! Mark my words!

I've always found their CS to be very good when dealing with problems, and I have a Scottish accent too. They can be a bit slow but always polite and courteous in my experience.

Three is the best option in my local area, so I'm glad that the service is usually pretty reliable.

This made me LOL "jazz mag on an oil rig" I have no idea oil rig workers had such good taste in music.

I was on the SIM only plan lower than that (About £12) then read on here some people were were bing offered the One-Plan for £16 per month but I didnt get offered it. I called up the local shop and they said to go online to the "Contact Us" bit and complain. I did and within 48 hours an Indian bloke called me up and offered it to me for £14pm as long as I sign up for 12 months. I dont mind signing up to a good deal so I did and Bob's your uncle £14pm stacks of calls and texts and inexhaustable (by me) data and tethering to boot!

Spoke to Three in India yesterday and they said about Spain and New Zealand.

However the ever popular country of Greece/Cyprus seem to have been missed off of this list of feel at home countries.

If only they didn't do everything through Indian call centres...

Just switched from giffgaff to get a 2nd 3 connection; 3 is leading the way and is getting away fast!!

Heat heat heat

Does that include Spanish islands such as the Canaries?

Three are making some dramatic moves and I hope they are rewarded by gaining some new customers from other networks.

I have been with them for years. Best prices, unlimited data plans, 4G, and now this.

They had trouble when they first started out but have got a great business now. I don't understand why people pay over the odds with limited data packages on the other networks.

Hot.

Republic of Ireland is also included

I had a feeling they would do this eventually, with my wife's family all living in Spain we go at least twice a year.
Glad I stayed with three.
Have some heat.

Had this in Italy earlier this year - 25 GB limit on a unlimited plan! (don't forget to activate roaming before you go though)

this would have come in really handy when i went to Spain a couple of months ago!!

Has this been mentioned: '*If you're on Pay As You Go, all you need to do is convert your credit into an Add-on. You can then use the allowance in any Feel At Home destination.'

Good news, the Three blog admin just confirmed that the Canary and Balearic Islands are included. http://blog.three.co.uk/2015/01/06/use-phone-abroad-extra-cost-spain-new-zealand/#comment-177018

if you do this you have to do it 4 weeks in advance of going to the country - and you can only use it overseas in 3 months a year. My duaghter went to USA and used it - absolutely fantastic and her tarriff is £6.90 a month

Amazing news, but god damnit I spend half the year in Germany. As soon as Germany is included I might break down and cry with happiness.

Wish they'd add Turkey to the list :disappointed:

HEAT for the pic.

25GB/month if you're on an AYCE plan. Tethering is not allowed even if your normal contract permits it.

Just got back from 2 weeks in the USA using this - absolutely great, full use of data makes travelling so much easier.

Is there not a 31day period before you could use this service if joining 3.

ah bu&&er !!!!

I'l have to stick with my German Lidl sim card for now - £5.50 for 500MB per month

just a pain having to have two phones whilst in the Fatherland

EliTom

T-Mobile offer those on legacy Blackberrys, i.e. OS7 devices, the ability to use worldwide data at a max of £4/day, upto £48/mth, as per EU law, within the EU.

Might be worth mentioning in this thread. My mate went into the three store yesterday and they said they will be announcing that unlimited tethering (even if you have it as part of a contract) will be completely scrapped by the end of the year.

Apparently their network cant handle the ridiculous tethering by everyone (including me)

what's Israel doing on the list? can't see anybody going for a holiday there!

Another nail in the EE coffin

voting cold.

Eh! You lost me there mate.

I am with Three and think the Feel At Home is great. I will use this if I go to Spain for my holiday this year.

Thanks OP :smiley:

At last! Been waiting for this for years! I wonder how quickly other operators will follow...

I think i will be switching to three when i go travelling to Australia.

Given the cost of an a unlimited data deal at £20/mth, I'm gonna stick with T-Mobile and unlimited worldwide data at £4 for now, given this tether issue

wow this is massive for 3, making me think of going to them!!

Might have already been said but, make sure you activate international roaming on your account through the Three website before you go away as they don't automatically activate it for you as they previously advertised on their website (which I discovered only after going on holiday...).

Spain and New Zealand coming in April.

I would be perfect for me if it included Greece but I guess that is not possible due to the problems the country is facing.

Anyone know if Majorca & Minorca are included ?

I wanted to find out the same thing about the islands as nothing in the T&C's

Excellent addition! Just got back from New York and saved around £1200 just on data charges thanks to the Three plan.

Now, to find a good new deal with Three...

I pay £25 a month for the one plan :disappointed:

I went back to Three after around 10 years and I swore not to ever go back. But really their CS is a lot better than it was and I got the One-Plan for £14pm inc unlimited tethering which really is what I needed. I've been with them about 6 months now and there has been the occasional issue (latest was work on my local mast mast had was down) they really did all that could be expected to be honest and have even given me one of those mini transmitter things to keep at home for improved signal.

Luxembourg, Germany and Belgium would be handy for me!

T-Mobile does not exist in Spain...

What's the best Three sim only plan for 4G? I seem to remember some great deals on here but I'm unsure on the ones on their website is the best? What does everyone tend to go for? Has the iphone 6 and no SIM card!

I used this in California in September and it was dreadful. Speeds were appalling - almost as if throttled. I was trying to use google or Apple maps on an iPhone 4s, and it was like been back on the old 56.6k dial up! I checked a few three forums at the time and it was similar for others, so I hope they've sorted it now. I was connected to AT&T and T-Mobile. Annoyingly, a friend with a local contract with AT&T was getting lightening speeds.
Heat though!

Oh great just what i need! Its bad enough everyone i know at home spending most of the day with their mobile phones permanently attached to their hands but now on holiday too (the one place i thought i could get away from the damned things!!).

Was in America for 4 weeks with family and used it all the time well worth the contract just for that trip and now Spain wow well done Three

I have read it again and still see no mention of New Zealand...

Have used feel at home first hand in New York in Jan last year, and can say it was fantastic!
I have all you can eat mins, texts and data.
Was so strange landing in Newark and turning ON data roaming, (all the data warnings from Samsung about roaming abroad were concerning) but I need'nt have worried.
From FB updates heading in the Taxi to NYC to weather updates, Google maps, being able to call home, Skype. all the things you take for granted in the UK, was excellent to have use of all this in a different country specially when historically you have either incurred huge bills or high costs for doing so!
You can also keep track of things using the MyThree app if your worried or concerned about getting charged.
Even had a 20 min call with a friend who called me when i was in New York (also on Three) and didn't cost a penny to receive the call.
Cannot recommend Three enough, i think the use of phone abroad is worth the contract price alone!

Think this may just be the final push for me to try three again next contract

would this include Balearic islands?

Shame they don't include Jamaica, got 2 weeks booked for the end of January. Currently using 3-2-1 sim and would of bought a £10 add-on for this offer. Great offer for people visiting the included countries.

How is this hot if it's only one network?

Don't want to be a kill joy but when I went tenerife few years ago, it was more expensive than mainland Spain for buying bundles so it might not be included. I was on t-mobile though

This is brilliant. Scorching deal.

I bought a 3 SIM for my US trip last year. Was fantastic. So refreshing to be able to use your phone on holiday like you would at home.

Been waiting for them to add NZ! Go there every couple of years. Going again next month so not quite in time for me this time, but great for future use.

Now if only they made their 4G coverage in the UK better, I would switch to them permanently!

I wouldn't rely on this fully ... best to have a back up plan in vase yoi can't pick up signal. I purchased a three payg £15 p/m package Samsung gala y s4 mini to take to Miami and Orlando just before Christmas and could only pick up a signal for internet USD maybe 5% of the time :disappointed:[/quote]
I used it in New York in July on my S4. Didn't get any 4g but the connection was fine for roaming and maps etc, never lost connection at all.

Great news hope the Canarys are in it.

Comment

It's T-mobile pal but yeah pretty much same

Don't forget New Zealand too.

Comment

Stevie G is on O2

Would you like to explain to everyone on this site what you mean by your comment of LOL Israel??

wish it were sooner :disappointed:

Been waiting for this for so long.

Is there any chance of running up a huge bill if you phone picks up a roaming network in one of these countries that isn't on their network partners list?

I'm their terms and conditions it says that your phone will automatically roam onto the correct network in their partner list but can you trust it?

On the Three blog as well: http://blog.three.co.uk/2015/01/06/use-phone-abroad-extra-cost-spain-new-zealand/

I find it ironic that they don't have India on that list considering that most of their company is based there! :P

Has anyone used this in the USA? what kind of speeds do you get average/worst/best, and can you use your 4GB Hotspot?[/quote]

I wouldn't rely on this fully ... best to have a back up plan in vase yoi can't pick up signal. I purchased a three payg £15 p/m package Samsung gala y s4 mini to take to Miami and Orlando just before Christmas and could only pick up a signal for internet USD maybe 5% of the time :disappointed:

I hope it works when I go in May.

Lasy year I went to Ireland, which should have been covered, and which I had "setup" before going, when I got there it did not work, and guys in Dublin shop didnt know how to help so my phone line was useless over there. IIRC my nunber was temporaily blocked

When I got back Three UK apparently managed to sort out the issue for me, but i havent been to a relevant country since.

Surprised you didn't get your butler to post for you :smile:

Yes - unless you're in an EU country

It will be interesting to see who Three have signed a deal with in Spain, because I highly doubt it would have been Telefonica/Movistar.

Damn it.

That was a deal breaker for me the fact that they didn't include Spain. So in December I signed up with Talk talk.

Hehe

Good news! Used it throughout France in august last year and found it very useful!
They're going to get a lot of custom from this!!

By the way Three website actually says "Spain and New Zealand coming in April." so please update the description

Can't add more heat! Used it in last trip to Norway and it rocks!

Why does everyone feel the need to boast about where they are going on holiday, particularly when it is irrelevant to the deal?

So can one tether via USB cable?

Got a year to wait before its a EU law for all networks...

Been waiting for this! Visit Spain a lot now can download stream etc

I'm sure I saw Canada in there once, I must have been mistaken.......

I'm porting my number from 3 to EE today, this would have made me reconsider :disappointed:

Rizza

Careful! It will cost you £1.40 per minute to call the UK from Canada using Three.

Three roaming charges for Canada.

Whats 3s reception like in the uk? Im with EE at the moment but thinking of ditching.

Why is there a picture of Stevie me? is he counting how many league medals he has on his phone?

The internet is speed is capped at very very very low speed. I had this experience in Finland, Sweden, New York and Paris.

Comment

Thanks that's great

"Google is your friend" I avoid Google products as much as humanly possible, so I use Startpage as a search engine.

I used this in Vegas and California last year on my iPhone and iPad and it worked great. I didn't do any speed tests but used it to make video calls through facetime whilst walking up and down the Vegas strip with no problems.

Not only did I get 4G, but it was the first time I ever managed to get 4G on my iPad, as it is an iPad 3 which can't connect to the UK's 4G networks.

Great news.

However, as reitterated above if you have All You Can Eat Data you can "only" use 25GB in these "Feel At Home" countries. Plus no tethering via Hot Spot. Also, you can only use it on a commercial basis and if you use it more than three trips a year they may cap you. They will let you know this beforehand though.

Great service and one of the reasons why I recently joined 3.

Great! I can ditch T-Mobile now but I need tethering as an option. Anyone know a decent workaround?

If you have unlimited data you can only use up to 25GB!

Ah, will come in handy when Liverpool face Real in Europe..

Real Sociedad that is.

Have some heat

http://www.three.co.uk/Support/Roaming_and_International

Use your phone abroad at no extra cost.

Your device is already set up so you can use your allowance to call and text the UK and use your data abroad at no extra cost. Available in 16 destinations, with Spain and New Zealand coming in April.
With Feel At home you can use your allowances to call and text the UK and use your data and it won't cost you a penny more. You can enjoy Feel At Home whether you're on Pay Monthly or Pay As You Go, using a tablet, phone, mobile Wi-Fi or dongle.


*If you're on Pay As You Go, all you need to do is convert your credit into an Add-on. You can then use the allowance in any Feel At Home destination.

Spain & New Zealand will be added in April. Confirmed, it's on Three's website.

I have a 3 mifi device....will this mean charges on this will be just the same as the uk?

Hopefully covers the canaries. Hot from me. Moved to three last year and much better than ee

I have just joined three (my number ported over today). If someone could answer my question I would be grateful.

I understand that I will not get any charges for calling from a feel at home country what about the other person? I.e I call from Italy to a non three uk mobile would they get a charge

Heat from me, we've got our first family holiday to Majorca in June so this is going to be perfect for us! :smiley:

Cant see me leaving anytime soon. Heat

Im with Three and this is great news HEAT!

Used this recently in New York, I have unlimited data and it was amazing using your phone abroad without any worry.

I got a couple of payg sims for US hol last June and saved nearly £200. and still have call credit left on both cards

Guess its time to book a Spain holiday! .... any excuse.

I also used internet for the gps on my phone and it worked fine

I have the one sim only plan (unlimited internet and tethering) and i tethered fine in France.

t'would be good to know for certain if the Canaries are or aren't included. Great deal though - just switched to Three a couple of months back after many years with T-Mobile and I'm very impressed with Three's innovative approach c/w other networks. Haven't used Feel at Home yet (however, will likely be in Mallorca and Gran Canaria later this year), but I'm finding Three InTouch invaluable - not aware that any other network has this capability for free either. Heat added.

Well we have two contracts up in the next few months and this could be the bait to jump over to 3.
Other providers need to take notice as this will sway a hell of a lot of customers away.

Finally, been waiting for this for a while. Shame they didn't have it when i was there in Seville in Dec was quite a pain only to use wifi out there!. Heat added :smiley:

Guess again - http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Phones/Feel_At_Home

Useful to know. I have a 3 PAYG SIM for use in the USA and having data for Google maps etc is very useful.
Just wish they'd include Canada as well!

I just wish they'd hurry up and add Germany as that is where I go most.

I have found that the speeds on the data are variable but definitely not fast enough to stream video. I am in France at the moment and it takes a little while to open Web pages. I have also used it in Austria, Italy and Switzerland. I have a zero spend Cap on my account and it works fine in the feel at home countries.

Agreed - need more European countries. Belgium would be my vote

Spain is a good one to add as so many of us go there but more European countries would be good like Belgium, Germany etc.

Does anybody know of any good SIM only contracts for Three 3? Many thanks

Tenerife and the canaries have a Spanish dialling code (0034) so they must be included.

if only 3 would add Germany - then I would be over to 3 like a shot !

I guess not this year then ! :disappointed:

EliTom

New zealand is also getting added though I doubt that's as big a deal for most.

Cheers. All I needed to do was Google it haha I'm going to Spain end of March, beginning of April so this will be fantastic :smiley:

Are you sure?? Can't see any information about it on their website

it could be that you have to manually choose the network to get it to work the first time. That happened to me the first time i wanted to use this in Paris last year. i have the same phone as you.

I got a Three Sim card specifically for this as I travel a lot. Very impressed, especially with some of the ridiculous fees you would have to pay in these countries. Heat added.

Do you have to activate this or is it automatically set up on three tariffs?

Heat for the deal, cold for the pic!

Thanks for the info.

Gonna get hot!

Used it in florida for 3 weeks ladt year, saved me a fortune.

stain in July this year

yippppeeee, great find, thanks op

Here's their terms and conditions. I do remember using tethering briefly while I was in the US last month, but I didn't test it properly due to having wifi in my hotel room. I just wouldn't count on it being available when needed due to their stated terms and conditions, but unless someone knows what system they're using for detection of tethering, it's hard to be sure

[quote=Schmutz]Thanks for the responses re: feel at home in USA, it is reassuring.

Any idea why I couldn't get it to work in Paris last July (2014)? Possible contributing factors;

Samsung Galaxy SIII - 3G model
Three plan with 300min/AYCE/AYCE/no tethering (£26 a month, with the phone 24 month contract)
I put on a cap preventing any additional costs on top of £26

So, I'm not sure if that cap would have conflicted. I called Three this October to make some enquiries and they explained that the cap can be enabled and you can still use mobile data, and they went on to say "Feel at home was probably not available in France at that time" - which I'm quite sure is not true.

Therefore, I'm left pretty confused about all of this! Only explanation seems to be that the advisor I spoke with gave misinformation regarding the cap and Feel at home go live dates[/b]

When I phoned to activate international roaming, they removed the cap which I put back on when I returned to the UK.

About time!!

esskay92 has explained that it worked for them with Tethering. I know some Three contracts will not allow for Tethering but my existing one allows for 4GB. Do you know if it's stipulated in writing anywhere online to get to the bottom of this?

Used them in New York, worked great. Going Bali in March via Hong Kong. Can't believe how useful it is.

I used this is vegas last week, not sure what sort of speeds i was getting as it was always jumping between wifi in the casinos and then my normal internet?

it worked just as good as here in all fairness - and hey its free lol

Lol @grrard
