​at least back the comment up with your alternatives......

This includes 4G and the SIM is actually a combi SIM with all sizes. I know they state standard SIM but that is not what you get.

Standard size sim, 3G only

Great deal, however must warn that I hear 3 now block use in a phone or tethering to a tablet - you can use in a mifi (with tethering obviously) or in a tablet without tethering stupidly. I have used them in a phone in the past, but hear it no longer works. :disappointed:

This should work with feel at home, but data speeds will vary hugely.

Thanks for the update. They'd probably sell more if they stated that I'm guessing?

Will give you 4G as long as you are using a 4G enabled device. Won't work in a phone.

Great deal, thanks op. These sims work with three's feel at home, so perfect for taking abroad

Great deal, thanks

Errm, think I must be missing something - how is this a good deal ?

Could the data allowance be used in Gemany Poland, Czech republic ??

not for much longer! there putting a stop to it.

Does any one know how long I can store these? I still have three of the one month ones and three 4gee 6gig three month ones. But this deal seems too good to miss.

can I use it abroad?

Great ~Deal. suits me perfect

well if they do that, they become just another network with no real pull at all.... Their service after 3pm isn't the best .... They will lose 5 users in my household alone.

Can these Sims receive calls? Do they have an incoming number?

Hot from me. I normally buy the 90 day 6gb EE sims this is better for me and at home is a bonus too. I save a lot of money each year win feel at home on my mobile contract.

Is this 12 GB a month or for the whole year?

heat. I paid £50something for this after Christmas. bargain.

All details should be here: http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Phones/Feel_At_Home

It should work perfectly fine in a Feel at home destination

nice ! its great for holidays then

Can someone tell me if it will ¥π% in a $@& cos I,m too damn lazy to research myself.

hot

Looks like you can txt from the sim for 10p/txt

May be able to call from it too, you can on the 1gb plan!

Do you need to supply them with credit card or bank details, or is it just plug in, register and go like the EE SIMs?

Thanks, bought as backup internet for a year. Great value.

I would rather cut my balls off with a rusty spoon than go back to 3. Worst network I have ever been on

I used a regular pay as you go sim, with all you can eat data in a huawei mifi , it had bad speeds in Tenerife and three twitter support could be slow to respond, sometimes, but didn't recognize that it wasn't a data sim till I was back in England. 3g In Spain with three is good for whats app etc, but a bit too slow for youtube etc.

What are you basing this on? Tethering has been banned for ages but it still works, because they can't tell

Jaysus.
And that's supposed to be a deal?

Can you activate these at a later date as been looking for one of these for jollies but don't go until end of May? Thx

Can it be used in a 4G router for home Internet use?

Have a 3g tablet with dual SIM slots - can this be used? Not interested in making calls from the tablet just using the data

Ok so if I get this, go to a feel at home place abroad and use loads of data in one hit is that ok? Or is it you can only use so much per month over 12months?

on average, each month £2.50 for 1GB, "feel at home" countries included: how is it not a good deal?

The Data Reward SIM for £10 one off seems to be a good deal for light users - 1GB 1st month then 200MB free each month after that for registering.

£30 for just 12gb.

I left 3 because they started getting tight and greedy with they're deals.

The only good thin, is that it lasts 12 months, and if you can stretch that out then it's not bad I suppose. It may be the cheapest and a valid HUKD post, but I still think it's extortionate.

Thanks OP. I'm going to get one of these for a tablet. I see lots of people criticising this deal but unless I have missed something, I haven't seen anyone propose anything better.

It has 12gb pre-loaded so you can use it as fast or as slow as you like but any remaining data will expire 12 months from the activation date.

Did you guys found out how to select another type of SIM card ? I can't figure out

I think you're all missing the point here, I use this sim on my pad when I'm in Europe by far the cheapest way to stay online when on holiday. Also it used to cost £56.

Just be aware that the £20 deal mentioned is "unlimited" data for 28 days whereas this one is 12GB of data to be used over 12 months. It's not really comparing like with like.

used to be about £70 for this
excellent for low level iPad use
does anyone know if this is a limited offer? still have some time left on my knowhow. or could always buy it and wait a month to activate

Finally managed to order after Verified by Visa failed twice.

Delivery is 3-5 days but I will let people know if there is an expiry date to activate by. These used to cost a lot more than £30 so there might be a reason for the reduction.

Did anyone spot this at the checkout stage: '* Price includes £5 monthly discount for paying by a recurring method, such as direct debit.'

What's that about?

Perfect for my old chap he uses these already @ about £70 last time

Is this an offer for a limited time, and does anyone know whether it can be activated, say, in a few months' time?

Sorry to ask again but how do you order a nano sim ? I can only see standard sim :disappointed:

[quote=nomdeplume]Is this an offer for a limited time, and does anyone know whether it can be activated, say, in a few months' time?[/quote

This used to cost a lot more so it might be that they are discontinuing these and concentrating on the 1GB and the 3GB ones instead (which have GONE UP in price).

I will let you know if there is an expiry date when I get mine.

If you really want one I would just order as even if you have to activate within the next few months you don't have to use the 12gb up until you need to.

This could easily be discontinued like their 24gb ones.

Thanks ! Will take the risk too, worst scenario I have to cut it myself :smile:

is it 3G only not 4G? it looks like they are screwing you on texts ?

Hear hear top deal heat added.

Thank you

Would like to know what the shelf life is on this sim if anyone knows.

It has a phone number and the capacity to send texts but why would you? It's £30 for 12gb of data over a period of 12 months (whichever expires first) and then you chuck it away. The texting facility just isn't needed and I can't think of anyone who would top up extra to use it.

I don't think anyone will currently find a better deal than 12 GB over 12 months on PAYG with no need to ever spend anything more than the initial £30. Sure you can find greater data amounts when you top up £xx a month or have a monthly bill. Sure there will be ad hoc offers from EE and Asda and the rest of them. But for a plain and simple one off fee and a set it and forget it simcard this is great.

will it work when im on the second floor?

None of us know yet. PAYG simpacks do tend to have expiry dates for activation but until we get them in the post we can't confirm if this has or what the month might be.

Will let you know when mine comes :smiley:

Not if you're in the lift but will be fine in the corridor :smiley:

Forgive my joke.

When you order you put your postcode in and it gives you an idea of coverage but I have been around the country using these sims for mobile broadband and NEVER had any trouble.

Would like to know what the shelf life is on this sim if anyone knows.

I wouldn't want 4G because it's not good value to use for data intensive stuff. 3G is fine for surfing (not video) and checking and sending emails

And checking hukd when you are out and about and outside of a wifi spot :smiley:

​Seriously? I used to be able to tether to smart devices but not laptops and computers. They've put a stop to it now.

​Unlimited tethering for £15 per month? Or a one off payment?

​Read comments, no longer need to be explained...

how many can you order ?

You can send text vis online services bypassing threes rip off.

The main thing is can you (make or)receive calls. If that is possible then it would be perfect, 12gb data, receive calls/texts, 3p calls, send text via web for 2p, ALL for £2.50/month.

THAT would be an unbelievable deal.

Please could one of you who receives this sim, try to see if you can call out/receive calls, as since you can send text, receiving calls may be possible.

Three say that their Feel At Home data doesn't allow tethering. Does anyone know if it will work using a MiFi device?

Obviously it depends on where you use the various networks but I have found three and EE to be better than the others. The ability to use three abroad with no extra cost has been the deciding factor for me.

Saved a small fortune.

This is what i'm trying to find out but can't find a clear answer

Data on Three is 1p per MB. So, unless I've got my sums wrong, at PAYG rates this would cost £0.01x1024x12=£122.88. It's a cracking good deal.

The 1gb mobile broadband is being pushed as you describe - voice/texts/data - with 200mb free per month after the initial £10 purchase. But the fact that the texts on this 12gb sim are 10p rather than 2p means they've set these on a totally different tariff to the 3-2-1 one.

I suspect there will be no voice capability at all despite it coming with a number. It's meant for tablets/dongles/mifi devices and not phones at all.

Have only gone for one but you can buy more as it's PAYG. However they might have an expiry date (for activation) that we don't know about. Once activated you get 12 months of course.

​The difference with three is you either have fast data and calls or nothing at all. Having a mobile you can't make a call on is pointless. I travel all over the world with work and most of the time I couldn't even send a text let alone make a call. I also had three allow someone to phone up from a different number. Answer no security questions and take out a second contract in my name. They even had the phone delivered to a completely different part of the UK from where I live. They never called my mobile to check it was actually me. It took three months to get it sorted repairing my credit file and getting a refund. Then when I came to leave they sent me threatening letters stating I was 10 pounds in credit however in the same letter they threatened to pass this credit to a debt collection agency. I still have the letter somewhere as it's the most pathetic example of a company royally ****ING up I have ever seen. I've been with all the main networks too including cellnet, O2 orange, Vodafone tmobile, ee, Giffgaff.

3 comes in first in worst all round experience closely followed by what was t mobile.

In my area EE 4G is over 100mbps so cannot complain. I got about 6 on three but had calls dropping out regularly. Depends where you live tbh

I use 100gb a month :disappointed:

These are also available in store at the same price of £30
I purchased 1 today.

Thanks to the OP... I wouldn't have even known had I not read this originally.

I can also confirm it is a trio sim...
With 3G or 4G

Every time I try to order, my order is unsuccessful and my card get's blocked!

What's the expiry date for the actual sim?
(Looking at Amazon too, these are to be discontinued by the looks of it, hence the cheap price)

I've opened the sim and there is no date anywhere on the card or the packaging.
The guy in the shop said it wouldn't activate until I put it into my iPad....
But I knew that....

I'm not due to run out on my live sim until the end of March, and the missus won't expire until the end of June...
So mine won't be getting activated until then.

I got one to day from the shop in town He said that he was surprised that more folks had not come into buy them with it been such a good deal,
He said that you have 60 days to activate the sim.

I hope that the 60 day activation thing isn't right

I've had 1gb and 3gb sims that I've owned for over a year before activating and they always work fine.

No plans to use my 12gb SIM until around May personally.

Got mine today.

Can confirm:

(1) it is a push out trio sim to match your tablet, dongle or wifi/mifi device but it isn't for phones.
(2) there is no expiry date anywhere on the pack. The inner leaflet is published in 2015 so these aren't old stock either.
(3) It is both 3G and 4G and will connect to 4G at no extra cost if your device/area has it.

Only proviso seems to be that it has to be used at least once in a six month period to remain active (so standard condition there).

Mine also showed up today. Is also a combi micro/mini/nano SIM and I can't see any expiry date.

Nice find. Use these a we can't get BBand where we're based. Thanks for posting.

Voted cold, three messed me up, been with them since 2009 and they upped my bill from £14 to £30. With a 1 month notice. Hate them and everything about them. Will never use any of their services again.

can someone try to place a call to see if it works with calls

The SIM has a phone number. But I am not planning to activate mine just yet.

I have used a few different company sims over the years in both my nexus 7 4g and a Chinese dual sim mobile, And I have found that you are not able to use a data sim to make a phone call,
But what you can do is use a data sim with a android app and you can then phone to anywhere in the World over the internet, the app I use is UppTalk and it works fine,

Popped mine in, and its not connecting. Do you have to activate is?

regards, mr%

​there customer services suck badly but there network in my opinion is the best i do alot of travelling and 3 has the best coverage for decent internet speeds and signal nationwide

Picked one up today and didn't have to activate it. I turned off my Nexus 7 tablet, inserted the sim and restarted the Nexus. It connected straight away. Maybe you have mobile date turned off on your device. Can't think of any other reason as to why a device wouldn't connect.

Worked it out in the end...Needed to change the APN setting to "three.co.uk"

I'm travelling to Japan for a couple of months - think this'll work out there? I'm not expecting to get 12GB out of it, but even a few GB would make it work it for me.

This is a terrible deal - just a std payg 4G sim from 3 will cost only 18 quid for 12GB (1p per mb + free 150mb per £5 top up). I literally cannot understamd why anyone would buy this.

So this will defo work in my old redundant 3 Mifi unit ?

Any quidco on this deal ?

maxmix

huh?
1024MB x £0.01 = £10.24
12 x £10.24 = £122.88

How on earth is that cheaper than £30?

Maybe they buy it because they didn't fail KS1 maths?

Isn't it funny how trolls who come on to say how bad a deal is, never usually come back to back up their claims when they are called out on it!

Um yeah OK my bad i forgot to multiply by 5 at the end. In my defence i'd just cycled 100k then run 5k then had a few glasses of wine and was feeling very... sleepy :smile:.

Yeah its a good deal.

Just ordered . Cheers . This is a great deal . Had I known about this earlier ,I've just spent £4.99 on ebay for a 2GB data card which expires after 30 days .I just need this for occasional use .

If I have few mb left in this month it will add that in to next month or it is 1gb in each month ?

As far as I believe it's 12GB you can use over 12 months , or you can use the whole 12GB in one day if you want , but it's useless after that , or spread the usage as and how you want over 12 months . There will be no rollover as there is not a monthly limit .

Got this sim card to use in my tablet in Spain last week. What a waste of money as it never worked. Had to end up paying for WiFi in hotel which cost me another £13 for the week.

I think that because it's a pay as you go 3 sim, then it has to be registered for at least a month before it can be used abroad?
Not sure if this still applies??

Could anyone tell me if I could swap this Sim into my mobile for occasional web surfing, checking emails and then when finished swap back to my normal phone sim. Don't know anything about mobile broadband really as have Sky broadband at home at moment but want to ditch them. The fact it lasts 12 months would suit me fine if it's possible so I could cut down on my outgoings. Advice appreciated.

Best iv'e been on you keep your balls.

​I wasn't offering anyone my balls. Good luck to you if you believe they are the best. Unless you live in a city life on this network can get pretty annoying. I have a personal phone on O2 network and a work one on EE. Between them I can always make a call. When I was on 3 I could very rarely make a call when travelling.

All I can tell you is both my son and I have them in dual sim chinese phones and they work fine. But when I asked the guy in the 3 shop he said that a data sim would not work in a mobile, I knew he was wrong because we have been buying data sims off ebay for a few years because I don't believe in Contracts never had a mobile contract in my life. We all use lycamobile PAYG , As long as you have credit you can phone all your family for no charge.

Anybody tried getting calls on these SIMs?

+1

​it appears that three no longer allow tethering on the PAYG £20 AYCE to up? I paid £5 for AYCE on my main phone which is pay monthly but can't tether on it either. was hoping for a tethering option on my old PAYG account...

am I missing something here? mymemory sell 12gb 3 sims for around £20.

​why is this not better?
