I took the Vodafone deal. Three has let itself down the way it treated all of us m8

Have now received the 50 cashback as of 11 Oct much later than the 6 weeks advertised. still got the money.

this shouldnt be expired the link takes you to the offer its still active after 28th June as of today 3rd July

I was move from one plan a year ago to 600 min unlimited data for £22 they won't do me any deal close to one plan. I have threatened to leave and received the puk code but stucked to this plan as I use over 130 Gig month. Is there anything I can do or ask to get a better deal. I have been with 3 since they launch back in 2002

Anyone got any experience of a Three sim in an unlocked EE Osprey (2 or 2 mini)? Thinking of getting the curry's deal and this sim to replaced my abysmal home BB

Hi can someone pls tell me whether my current three deal compares to the current offers in the market? unlimited mins, texts and data, 4gb hotspot £22 per month, 30 day contract. I would love to have 30gb hotspot but unsure whether to commit myself to 12month contract

just signed up for 12 month £23 deal in the 3 outlet store in Banbridge 6 months half price also got £50 of my bills plus bought a Samsung s7 edge for £446

I spoke to them and they said it was - just need to wait for the sim to turn to pay as you go in a few days and then ring them up and port it across.

moved from three to o2 and my data connection crumbled. thought I'd give the recent o2 deal a go but I've cancelled (inside 14day cooling off period) and moved back to three on this deal and my data speeds are flying again and I must say customer service of all the major carriers is rubbish, but three is certainly no worse than the others imho. happy to be on this for another 12months. cheap enough for a decent product for me not to worry about shopping around before this time next year. hot.

depends which way the referendum goes I suppose

I'm curious - BT / 3 / O2 are doing good deals at the moment - but EE (direct) are quiet. Does anybody think they'll be throwing out some new offer towards the end of the month?

Is it the end the accounting quarter/year?

Is that why these deals seem to appear toward the end of June?

heat for me got 200 min deal, quidco showing tracked £50 just got to wait to see if it pays out. Got 9mbps download speed on H signal inside house, sky fibre @ 7.9 Mbps so quick even though no 4g signal. hopefully chromecasting is not using tethering data as such. If all works as planned will be ditching sky broadband !

Libertas it doesnt matter if I unlock my osprey three block mifi use. Anyway have gone for this and streamed a copa america match by usb tether from a oneplus so thanks to OP this is the dogs danglies for the football season. Sky can do one when theyve given up giving me free like they have for 14 months.

Hey did you threaten to leave and did they then offer you the deal?

Had this deal today from the cancellation team for £9.00 :smiley:

Unlock your osprey?

​Is the porting within the same network a simple job?

Thanks for this OP. Whilst 3 could've handled existing customer retentions a lot better - been a customer since they first started up - not really going to find a better deal than is especially with unlimited internet.
Have to wait until my previous contract comes to an end within the next few days and changes to pay as you go to port my number across to the new sim. Quidco tracked within the first few hours of placing the order too.

My wife's contract with 3 is ending in a few weeks. Can i take this deal so I can get the cash back and then port her number across?

​he is cantankerous
they always find u if misspell or something
I understand it they understand it but they always have something to say about it

​ignore the grammar thing
I was talking about the phrase I used
I sometimes write it as I say it as it's easier and people understand it anyway.
doesn't make any difference

​wow what a w**ker

Vodafone is shocking for speed and reliability... avoid like there plague

What a bizarre response!
What on earth does it have to do with grammar?
Do you even know what grammar is?

PS. Its You're (as in you are) as opposed to your, indicating ownership.

Has anyone had cashback track on this yet?

they did same to me but I kept unlimited data and also gained 30 gb hotspot allowance. I was offered a lower price for the 200 mins option but would then also be tied into 12 months contract so I stuck with the 25pm rolling they put me on

I called as an existing customer and they have given me the following deal:

30GB Data, Unlimited Minutes, Unlimited texts for £20 per month (usually £30)

I think that's the closest i will get with something comparable to the old one plan

Nothing like rewarding customer loyalty eh

They wouldn't give it to me, even after a rant on their Facebook page. It felt like they were doing all they could to get rid of me. My contract terminates in a little over a week, so I'm looking for another deal with anyone other than Three.

Anyone know if this deal is open to existing customers? Currently on a month to month deal. Was told by a guy in the shop that I could cancel and take the new deal but would then lose my number- seems a bit unfair and probably not worth the hassle.

When I left 3 after the recent price hike, I was told off by the customer support rep for being "very disloyal" :neutral_face:

Quidco normally tracks within a few hours. If you use the suggested FoxFi and/or other VPN-like app, by definition it is unlikely 3 could identify your tethered use compared to on-handet use. For data consumed without those apps, 3 seem vague about how they calculate used / remaining tethering bandwidth.

Thanks for that I have got this now. How long does it take the 50 quidco cashback to track and if I use the 30GB hotspot allowance will it just stop and produce a splash screen or does it then start charging you extra as I couldnt see in the plan details what the excess charges for data where

Thanks for that I have got this now. How long does it take the 50 quidco cashback to track and if I use the 30GB hotspot allowance will it just stop and produce a splash screen or does it then start charging you extra as I couldnt see in the plan details what the excess charges for data where

Doubt there's any advantage to direct connection tether. Obtain a cheap android handset that is not 3-branded. Install FoxFi. Use FoxFi to create hotspot. Abuse 3's AYCE handset data t&c at your wish. You may need a VPN to limit the impact of 3's throttling every day between 3pm to midnight, although FoxFi may be sufficient. Throttling & traffic shaping applies to the data connection regardless of tether type. 3's throttling and traffic-shaping policy can be viewed here.

I don't know. I think Three is best for that stuff.

I only use my plan in the UK. When I'm holiday my phone stays off haha

Did the vodafone deal offer free data roaming to some countries? trying to escape three but need data roaming in Ireland

Sorry if I'm being slow, but in that link I'm seeing an option for 12 months, 12gb, 200 mins for £8.50 per month then £17 after 6 months.

I'm already on Three using All in One 20 each month.

Can I buy the above deal and transfer my existing Three number to the sim that they send out?

Thanks for any info

before I pull the trigger on this deal now I know you cant put this in a mifi is there any phone device that will let you connect by micro usb to a computers usb and get a direct data connection. I feel streaming football over the new season by using my belkin n300 wireless network card wirelessly is gonna end in tears. I used my osprey on the ee 100gb deals most of last year but the osprey is not an option for the three sim. direct data solutions anyone?

Went in the three shop and this half price for 6 months applies to all their phones too. Very tempted to get something.

According to Citi, BT accounts for about 42 per cent of mobile spectrum, with 28 per cent used by Vodafone, 14 per cent by O2 and 15 per cent by Three.

The combination of BT and EE is incredibly strong financially. It has got the financial ability to outcompete everyone in the market in how much they are willing to pay at the next spectrum sale.

Potentially, given how much spectrum they are already sitting on, BT is incentivised to strategically bid in the next auction to restrict the other operators in the market from increasing their spectrum portfolio . . . That could make life difficult for their competitors.

David Dyson chief executive of the UK’s smallest telecoms operator called on Ofcom to bring in “fairly significant restrictions” on BT and Vodafone in the next auction, which is expected before the end of the year. This could include forcing BT to “relinquish” spectrum before allowing it to buy any more.

Some analysts were surprised that the competition authorities did not ask BT to give up spectrum as part of it decision to approve the EE acquisition, although some added that Three could have acquired more spectrum in previous auctions.

Ofcom is still considering how to design the next auction. The sale of 4G spectrum in 2013 guaranteed spectrum for a fourth operator, a proposal that Mr Dyson would support this time round.

Can't really compare UK demographic with USA. They have huge area to cover to provide cell sites, so obviously have more costs to cover.

Comparing other providers in the UK though Three are not bad, they provide decent service and prices are on rise across the board... unless you want to go along with an MVNO who could give a cheaper deal but the service may suffer.

I was in a similar position to yourself, three of my work colleagues and I all went for the One Plan a few years ago now as we did a lot of back/night shifts and works' wifi took a battering to the point it got taken away by the bosses.

Anyways as you can imagine, the tethering was the main selling point, and we all gave it a good tonking on our respective packages. We were all well out of our 24 month period but just kept it rolling over as by that time 3 had canned the One Plan and didnt offer it anymore.

As it stood in February the three of them (at different points) had correspondence from 3 saying they would be getting automatically moved tariff if they didnt chose a new one themselves. I had not heard a peep out of them but was curious to how they were selecting people.

I was in my local 3 store getting a SIM for my wife around February time and by chance one of the regional managers was in store doing a visit and we got chatting.

I queried him on the whole issue regarding removing the one plan and he was very frank and honest with me.

Basically they sold themselves short with the one plan; people were buying it and using it esentially as a home broadband solution. Even more so businesses who were doing likewise. He said that the top 5% of users were using more bandwith than the other 95% combined but as the price was so low and the t&c's so lax they couldn't do a whole lot.

Apparently at the time he told me this they still had something like 23,000 people on the one plan who were just rolling over month to month with no intention of upgrading obviously because they would sacrifice the data on any new contract.

Rather than targetting the biggest hitters first he said it was all done randomly when they were sending out letters to advise people they would be getting moved by hook or by crook.

In the end i had to leave on my own accord in April as i moved house and the 3 signal was non existent but even at that point i was still on my original One Plan deal and had not heard a thing from them about me getting moved or my deal amended.

Sorry if thats common knowledge or stating the obvious but was interesting to hear from someone from 3's perspective.

Nope. My contract ended almost two years ago.
I'm on a one month rolling one plan.

Good deal

Partner pays £18 for all you can eat data 600 mins and 2000 txt and 4gb tethering.

I just ended my phone included contract and went sim only for £20 pm that is 30gb with tethering and all you can eat minutes and text.

A few points:
Their service up until the start of this year was always great at my house then went down the drain and recently has been great again not sure what happened but it was bad but all is good now.

Left Vodafone years ago as their service and customer service as well as their prices were just pants and will never go back to them. EE have always been overpriced in my opinion and O2 lost me as a customer with the service I received when the would start adding random charges on my account and then cutting me off.

​yes me

I concur. At least EE is 4G abroad...

Vodafone were on MSE on Radio 5, everyone was complaining about their new services and billing system. Basically its pants and everyone is recommended to check their bills monthly and then go through hell to sort out any problem.

Felt like 1G in new york, proper ****.

I dont trust three anymore , I have been with three for 8 years and 3 contracts all cancelled recently because of price hike and no loyalty for old customers , so not again . now happy with vodafone and bt mobile

At what point in the upgrade/cancellation process were you offered this?

How long does the cash back normally take to track? ordered last night nothing yet..

I'm paying £25 for 600 mins, unlmted texts and a.y.c.e.data. I took out two other sim only also for 12 months at a lower price as you get a 1000 mins to each other on 3. I've noticed others paying much less and that's annoying, especially as I took out extra sims. the one true bonus is that I'm tethering like a mama-jama; way past my allowance and they haven't noticed...yet! that's a full 5 months of 30 plus on tethering; sometimes I get in 70 plus. so, I'll stay put for now.

​your just trying to be smart..I don't care about grammar to that degree.
daytime or daylight your splitting hairs..u know what I meant didn't u?
obviously I wasn't talking about window tax

Doubt it - You can only use 3G data abroad, even if you get 4G with Three in the UK.

Look at what you like...

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/daylight-robbery.html

https://www.bellenglish.com/EnglishBlog/2013-07-04/Daylight-robbery-Phrase-of-the-week/

Fact still remains its DayLight not DayTime

I'm with Three at the moment, and I've got a similar deal but not for this price. Nice find, will have to phone retentions to see what they can do! VOTED HOT :smile:

I think id rather turn to the Cambridge dictionary for reference.
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/daylight-robbery

​it all depends on where u live .

​yes

Have they implied that they might ask you for that service? :confused:

DayLIGHT robbery.

Its a reference to when families were taxed on the number of windows they had in their house. To reduce the tax people blocked up their windows and deprived themselves of light.

Hence 'Daylight robbery'.

I might try getting a monthly contract and then cancel and see what they say.

I was still on that until a couple of months ago. Got the dreaded letter from them giving me the offer of taking away the unlimited tethering, putting a 12gb cap on it and offering me an "exclusive £3 deduction" from the new £33 contract they were going to put me on.

Phoned them up to cancel a week and a half before I would be moved up to the new contract, they told me I had already been put on it and would have to pay at least one month of the contract. Took me about 4 hours of speaking to random people and being repeatedly transferred over a couple of days to finally get them to cancel my contract and give me my PAC code.

I suppose can test this by using a payg sim in the mifi device?

Me too but the difference is that they said I dont have to pay a single penny :man::sunglasses:

That "adult" site may be blocked by 3's adult content filtering, in which case the filtering can be removed by either changing APN from three.co.uk to 3internet, or by one of the methods mentioned at this 3 support page.

If 3 can "see" that you are using a handset sim in anything other than a handset, you can expect the data block page. But if the 3 do not recognise the IEMI nor headers as being non-handset, then you might get away with abusing the terms and conditions of the handset sim.

I wouldn't take a dump on these guys the network is absolutely horrendous. The only way i would consider the is if they gave it for free maybe i might take the offer then.
The lies they do "we are upgrading our networks" when they did it was worse.
Then they want you to use their app and leech off your own broadband no thank you robbing idiots.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I pay £25 on PAYG every month for Unlimted 4G data use to be £15 i've just done this deal which will bring it down gone for the 200 mins deal not 600

30Gb of 4G data isnt too bad for home tethering use (as long as not streaming like crazy)...good alternative for those who cant get fibre yet...

I also got the same deal

Is that 30 GB hotspot allowance per month?.

what did you say? was it difficult?

It's got nothing to do with how much data you've used. Three had great delight in telling me I didn't need unlimited data and all the minutes etc whilst trying to move me onto a lower package for more money...

Don't worry they'll work their way around to you soon enough and you can explain to them how you're a sensible user when they want 120% more than you pay today for a capped service.

lol the only reason they're offering this is because a lot of people have left after the price hike. I don't know if i should start another 12 months contract with them because i like the freedom of a month to month rolling contract. Going on holiday so i can take the time to figure this **** out

Can you tether from a osprey mifi. Thinking of getting it unlocked but is this allowed on there ayce plans. Having to rethink using my neighbours fonera now my relative is leaving BT

I pay £15/month with 3 and get all-you-can-eat data, 200 minutes, unltd texts + 4GB hotspot.

I was recently kicked off the One Plan, only thing for me was id rather have AYCE data and under 1000 minutes more like half a month rather than what they gave me which was unlimited calls, texts and 4 gig data.

Though I only went over 2 gig once that is because I have fast landline internet and the phone internet was good for tethering when on holiday.

Lucky I still have 10 pre paid PAYG sims that have 1 months AYCE data for emergencies.

I got switched to an almost better deal when Three kicked me off the old plans...

Old:
Unlimited Data - no tethering
200 Mins
5000 Texts

£12.90 a month

New:
4GB Data - tethering
Unlimited Minutes
Unlimited Texts

£12.00 a month

I don't use more than 4GB data a month anyway, and Feel at Home is good for me as I have family in some of those countries

Just left for the o2 deal, signal is much better on o2 for me

Well, I'm one of the few who used data sensibly and I am still on the original One Plan with all you can eat 4G data including unlimited tethering, 5000 texts, 2000 mins and 5000 3 to 3 mins. Had it on a 1 month sim since 2012.

So :-p

cold, cashback deal.

Thats daytime robbery.
I always thought they do better deals in that part of the world.

My current deal doesn't expire for another 4 months. :disappointed:

just brought unlimited mints and unlimited internet and 30 gb personal hotspot for £16.50 for 6 month and £33 for last 6 months but after £50 cash back from quidco deal is £20.55 per month for unlimited mintes and unlimited data ... wooohooooo soooo happy now... :wink:
i was payin £28 for monthly roling contract and only 600 mints before :disappointed:
but happy days now .. thanks for this post

Greedy B*st*rds.

From £15 to £25 in less than a year. I DontGiveAF* about *feel at home in F* Europe*... I live in UK ... I dont want to pay for EU travellers ...

Moved to BT, free unlimited Wi-Fi from neighbours + lots of free Wi-Fi hotspots.

F* 3!!!

I have this tariff on a rolling month by month contract for £14 a month. So not a great deal if you give them all call and barter them down.

Everyone is hating on three, but they wanted to up my contract from £13 a month to £20, annoying yea, but i ended up getting it down to £14 with more minutes, so I ended up gaining from the restructure

Portugal isn't a 'Feel at Home' country.
What made you think you'd be able to roam for free?
Turnip by name...

Bigger than 60% up - the hike I had recently in Three?

Paying £14 a month with 3 for the same deal without cash back but it was a retention deal

No such thing as customer loyalty with 3. Bit like Sky

Have been with 3 for many a years and suddenly got a text message this April saying in basic terms, like it or lump it and let is know if you are not satisfied with your new tariff then leave us. It would have gone from £15 to £30 to stay on the same plan

They think the Feel at Home abroad is the killer to encourage us to stay, but bearing in mind roaming will be scrapped in 2017, they, 3, are risking a massive backlash

three take the flibbin pish. I was paying £30/month for an iPhone 4s contract over 2 years. When my contract was up they wanted £43/month for the current iPhone model at that time (I think it was the 6). The Indian lady tried to argue that the £13 extra cost was because it was a more recent model. She couldn't get her head around the fact that 2 years previously the iPhone 4S was the most current model, and then she said it must be down to inflation, so I did the calculations for UK inflation based on my previous deal whilst she was on the phone with me and asked her to do the deal (based on inflation) at £30.24. I think I was wasting my time.... :smile: Instead I bought a 128GB iPhone 6S upfront and went with a £17/month sim only deal which worked out much cheaper over the 2 years for a better phone with more memory.

FYI
I'm in Portugal at the moment. My unlimited data on 3 doesn't work on my phone - they want £5 a day for data. The 3 12gig data sim in my tablet (a HUKD recently) doesn't work here either.

any similar 1 month contracts?

hi mate

I'm paying £10 a month for:
20gb data
utltd texts and mins
1 year netflix
simo

so better for me in this case.

Suddenly Three come out with a contract for a few pounds more than we were all paying a few months ago when they wanted to increase our prices by 120% :man:
Clearly the mass exodus has hurt the jokers at Three and now they're on damage limitation.

I moved to EE and pay less than this deal after being a long term customer of Three. Now I release just how slow their 4G was in comparison and have a few extras like Visual Voicemail and WiFi calling.

I am, but it's fine as it's not a 'One plan' so they'll let it go for now. Also you still only get 4GB tethering unlike if you get the same (but more expensive) tariff now which is 30GB I think at least.

I was trying to figure out how to use the VPN - van you sign post to a good tutorial on explaining what and how you use a VPN please?

I am with 3 ... called to get my PAC code today and they started telling me that 3rd party resellers weren't to be trusted - I'm buying from carphone warehouse.

The woman then tried to sell me a Samsung S6 for £40 a month, when id already told her i was getting an S7 for £32.

Think they must be wanting to get rid of all old customers.

Been with them since 2010.

I recently left 3, phoned for my pac code and they gave me the speech about what new deal have i seen etc and came back with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 4GB of data for £12, i said no thanks just put through to cancellations, who offered me the above for £9. I said don't worry about the pac as i'll think about it.

Phoned the next day as i'd decided to take the BT package for £16 and they offered the above for £9 instantly, i'd been with 3 for approx 4 years.

I was paying £21 pm for unlimited everything as i was on the one plan, just with the BT deal i get 15GB and unlimited mins/texts and they offer tethering now, after cashback for just under £8 pm.

I did use their feel at home service a lot but mainly for work trips, but wasn't impressed by the speed when abroad, even in Paris Orly, it was slow. (work reimburse any costs as i was fed up with carrying two mobiles)

I've just recently ported my number from 1 three contract to another, 5 minute call to customer services and it was done the next day.

yep- me neither. Contract ended months ago, i'm still on £15/mo, AYCE everything. tethering is only 4gb but I don't really care - it seems not to count most of my tethering activity when i get onto a vpn.

You could also use the referral scheme if your family member or friend wants to take up the offer. 2x £25 Amazon voucher. Condition is 12 months sim only

Yep. £15 a month. Shhhh.

Purchased my contract in March 2011....

​How's this true.

:sunglasses:

I'm told three don't let you use tinder on their cellular data

I think those who already bought in a 24 months contract, they still have the one plan until it's ended. So that's why you can have.

If I log into my account and click in offers they will let me upgrade my package from 200 mins unlimited data, unlimited text and 4 gb of tethering data for £17 to 600 mins and everything else stated and 30gb of tethering data for £22

zzzzzzz

I tried to get this deal last week. I am out of contract and had given my notice of cancellation. I saw this and called them up to see if I could transfer to this plan, and stay with 3. They wouldn't do it at all, as they claim it is for new customers only. In fact, they wouldn't offer me anything to stay with them.

What did you tell them? I'm on Virgin at the moment and looking to switch

I thought that I was the only one still left on the one plan. I will immediately switch provider if they ever send me a letter ending my plan.

Thank you then it really a good deal

Yes

is £50 track for the 200 mins aswell?

Cold three do Unlimited everything for £15 which is further reduced by haggling/threatening to quit - hence paying £8~ a month.

​The issue is the cynical way they massively under charged customers to build market share and destroy competition, waited til the point they had bought a monopoly position with O2 and then hiked their prices across the board - despite making cleverly worded promises to the UK government not to increase prices for years after their merger. My PAYG data bolt on went up 67% in one year. It is a scary sign of things to come as the Chinese government (through pretend private enterprises) buys more and more of the world's industries.

I am glad their merger has been blocked by the EU (even if realistically that was more done to carry favour with the UK population just before the Brexit vote), it is likely the cause of their first semi-decent deal in a year.

Walking through Boston last week and there was a board outside the "3" shop advertising all sim only contracts were half price for 12 months?
Can't remember if it said they were 12 month contracts too?

Don't know if that would be a better deal over term or not and didn't actually go in and enquire so haven't got all the details, sorry.

Just wondered if anyone else had noticed or been offered anything instore?

Can't be bothered explaining . But if you look into it regarding sky raising prices then one of us is ronng ( I know you'll come back with .. Zzz zzz ...) so I'll admit it

Was using 4g in Majorca last month, via 3's 'Feel At Home'

So you also have ultd everything for £15pcm?

I also received an email from Quidco today offering another £10 on a purchase of over £10+vat. Makes this offer effectively £16PM. Great offer.

I have been with 3 a few years and was due for an upgrade. The prices they wanted for new phone updates were ridiculous. In some cases over £50 per month, and they weren't great plans. I've kept my Samsung S5 and gone sim only with them.
Unlimited minutes - 8gb data - unlimited texts - free tethering £16pm rolling 1 month which i thought was pretty good.
Down side is I've only had h+ where I live for the last couple of weeks when usually it's mainly 4g.
I bought my daughters 3 phones through quidco in December and I've still not had the cash back

Totally agree with you. Three were appalling with their behavior - never again
initially giving unlimited data packages only to withdraw them once the network had been updated to 4G

il never go with three again.

I've dodged it for a long while but finally had a letter. Their offer of what they'd move me onto was ridiculous. I spent 30 minutes on the phone threatening to leave and settled on £12 a month for 4gb capped usage, unlimited minutes & texts.

I had 2 contacts and once I upgraded one with 2gb hotspot they ended unlimited hotspot on my other left me to buy an additional hotspot contract from EE.
Not happy at all waiting for my contract to finish and never 3 again. I m using VODAFONE to tether and it's great.

So true never 3 again

​ yeah I also managed to bag unltd mins/txts 4gb data for £9, took 45 minutes of haggling

No you can't.

That's an amazing deal. I had to fight tooth and nail to get to £9pm for ult mins text 4gb data.

I would sign up again if they were doing uld mins text data for £15.

The best I have seen is for £20. So how did you do it?

I also got booted off the one plan, now on vodafone's 20GB plan, and the signal is much improved. Also - if they can effectively offer this for £16 a month - why on earth did they kick everyone off?!


Not sure if 3 allows internal transfers, but if they don't you can port to a PAYG sim and then back again.

​ I'm paying 15 for all you can eat. But only after asking to leave and complaining on their website. they had tried to increase it to 20 but I wasn't having that

Cash back ....

Definitely 4G ?. Got my sim yesterday after buying on Thursday. Went for AYCE, 200 mins but unlimited texts.

Actually never mind just thinking about it after the 6 months I'll be stuck on £23 p/m rather than 17 and won't get the old contract back anyway.. May give it a miss this time

I'm with 3 at the moment, out of contract on £17pm. Can I keep my same number with this?

I too was a little disgruntled with the changes to the One Plan.
But then on reflection, nobody else offers Unlimited Data and 30gb tethering.

Until someone does I can't really complain.

Was good while it lasted though.

I'm referring to abroad not the UK

Yes 3 do allow hotspot/tethering they even specifically say "On our All-you-can-eat data plans, you can use up to 30GB of your data each month to create a Personal Hotspot within the UK."

​three doing offer till end of June. I signed up on Thursday. Offer also applies to phone contracts as well but unsure if it's selected phones only

I'm really confused by all the people slating 3 for the price hike.
Yes, they raised the price on a deal that really was an outstanding price, it was going to happen at some point.
Then you have 2 choices, cancel your contract with no fee's involved and go to the second best deal. The one that you would've chosen if this wasn't available anyway so you have lost nothing.
Continue using 3 and pay the new fee, which is still reasonable.

What's the issue!?

I'm paying £20/month for unlimited everything with 3. I heard about them cutting out unlimited data but haven't had a call or letter yet. didn't realise they were hiking priced too.

im paying 15/month unlimited mins/texts/data and never have had any limitation with hotspot usage (tethering data is always set at 4GB remaining)

​change in price is a change in contract, therefore you could have left or taken out a new one.

This or the £20 o2 refresh deal??

I guess we're the lucky ones :sunglasses:

I still have 2 contracts with 3 £11 each a month 600 mins 5000 texts 2000 3 to 3 mins unl data no letters received :smiley:

No dear. All factual information given I have both contracts.

Do you work for the ministry of misinformation by any chance ?

I got a letter, it said i could have all you can eat data/minutes/txts for £15 for life!!! :man:

3 do not allow hotspotting or tethering nor is 4G abroad. EE do and have 4G abroad.

Anyone else still only paying £15 per month for their Three all you eat data plan? I still haven't received a letter yet of their intention to increase my bill..... :-D

Great deal. Will get this for the bride.

ive just been on the phone to 3 over the last month or so, and they gave me a retention deal.
Unlimited minutes - 8gb data - unlimited texts - free tethering £16pm rolling 1 month which i thought was pretty good.

I'll never go back to three. They hiked my bills up from £12.50 to £25 earlier this year and took away unlimited data. Much more money for less service. Sounds fair?!

3 recently bumped my price up from 12 a month to 20 a month. Sorry but that is doing something wrong. ridiculous price increase.

if you want a good deal on Voda network and dont mind 3G we pay £10 a month with talkmobile https://www.topcashback.co.uk/talkmobile/
cheers

If three has been offering this to its customers on the one plan lots of customers wouldnt have left.
Including me. Actually i asked for less internet allowance (less than 30GB) for this kind of price and couldnt even do that.
They made a big mistake not to make offers like this earlier.

I took the Vodafone deal. Three has let itself down the way it treated all of us m8

bur massive increase on the same minutes/data plan is hillarious. £23->£30

​Actually three do in many countries, including some European ones.

​EE charge for data abroad, 3 do not.

Any one know how long this deal will be valid

So you can leave sky for free then
