Oops - great minds... I just submitted this and spotted I'd been beaten to the punch :smiley:

Looks pretty promising for roaming abroad...

If anyone know of a bettr deal for overseas calls and Data please let me know.

Cheers

Ralph

Will be good for my trips to Portugal and USA. Thanks.

Is this valid for 12 months from first use? I would like to buy one for my mifi but I am not going away until November.

Look like a great deal - thanks OP

Greta spot! VUB5 takes 5% off too!

3% off quidco

Oops - forgot a bout Quidco :disappointed:

As far as I could tell from the MyMemory blurb, it's a 12 month period... presumably from when it's activated? No doubt there will be small print in there that gives an absolute cut-off. I'll look when it arrives and share anything I learn.

Or just buy the sim from any 3 store and get 12gb data Payg for 20 which is the same deal or 17 if you commit to a 12 month contract

Lots of Q and As from posting about a month ago:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/three-12gb-trio-payg-mobile-broadband-sim-pack-21-84-mymemory-using-code-2501425

Just done this using Quidco and then also 5% code. Having made a purchase of 3 got a further £10 cashback on next purchase due to opening a new account having been referred via Quidco. So bought another. £10 further cashback with next purchase came up again. So bought another with hopefully 2 x £10 cashback being tracked. To sweeten things further I also get 12 months of Quidco premuim free. Ha :smiley:

Hoping the use of the 5% discount code initially doesn't fluff things up.

Just a warning it seems to come from Switzerland and took a couple of weeks to arrive.

On mine they put a customs value of £11.85, which was a blatant lie to avoid paying tax.

I know cheaper prices sound good, but I'd quite like to keep the NHS...

OP Please update your feel at home list. It is now cover 42 Countries including Germany. So it is even better...

Indeed jakethesnake comment is utterly misleading ...

can you tether using this sim card in an Iphone?

VUB5 at the mymemory checkout

I have just returned and not quite to levels you describe but I agree it's not fast in the USA I did notice you can connect to either AT&T or T-Mobile and switching between them helped massively.

Just got back from Spain and it has been quite slow wherever we went, OK for WhatsApp but browsing the internet was pretty frustrating. Trying to download a 50mb app was virtually impossible. Yet when I ran a speed test I had a good ping and a respectable uload/dload speed.

Can you make phone calls as well, or just for the data?

Got one of these for parents, they are in Canary Islands and getting poor speeds can't even download anything 3G plus is the highest they got but speed test shows 25mbps down and 1.25 Mbps upload. Very poor.

There is more counties now, who did you copy? be honest?

Huh? What are you talking about? be honest about what exactly? I copied and paste from mymemory site https://www.mymemory.co.uk/SIM-Cards/3/3-PAYG-4G-Trio-Data-SIM-Pack-Preloaded-with-12GB-of-Data

Can you use these in a phone, running down the 12GB data over the year and just sticking on some PAYG credit for the odd call?

Anyone know if there is any cashback from Quidco or TCB ??

Will this sim work in EE mifi ?

I'm could do with this if it will work in Greece. I need to use my mifi when I'm out there as I don't have any broadband set up in my house. The Greek version is about £30.00 per month for far less data with cosmote. Wondering about the overall cut off date though as won't be going out till next spring due to health problems.

Does anyone know if tethering is allowed on this sim? Sorry if that is a silly question, I know Three don't allow it on some plans.

Thanks for the reply. I will give it a miss then.

Are these started from purchase or activation : can I use a sim for 12 months then use another then last so 36 gb over the 3 years?

Thanks very much for this. I use the EE Osprey like others but tge sims with them are too expensive and a dew months ago I watched the videos abd hacked it.

This is an excellent deal

Hi guys, I wondered if anyone could offer any advice... I'm moving house to an area with poor broadband 2mb/s.

I've been researching the use of a 4g router and wondered if there are any unlimited sim only data deals around? Happy to pay but struggling to find anything.. Is there any tips or tricks that could be done and help would be great as I'm struggling as to what to do :disappointed:

Cheers,

Devs.

Excellent deal thanks op

I've been looking around a bit myself and the impressed I get is that 'unlimited' on 4G doesn't really exist if you're tethering.

Switzerland is neither an EU nor EEA member.
It is, however, part of the single market.
Customs charges apply.

I stand corrected about Switzerland being in the EEA. They are not but they are part of EFTA and are also part of the single market which we are in. Therefore there should surely be no tax to pay. It would be different if they just had access to it but we are both actually in it. The whole point of the single market is that there are no tarriff, taxes or quotas on trade.

You would think so, and so do probably half the leave voters....however, the Single Market is a way to harmonise rules and regulations as opposed to taxes and tarriffs. The last two are fiscal measures which apply to EU and non EU and Switzerland is a non EU country hence import duty and VAT are payable.

I only wish that these 3 Data SIM Cards could be used in a normal Phone? (eg. as normal Pay & Go SIM, with up to 1 Year/12GB's worth of Data attached to it as standard!).

As opposed to that of ONLY a Data SIM Card (which can only Mi-Fi out your 1 Year/12GB's worth of Internet Data, and that's it ..... ) :-(

I'd have luvvvvvvv'ed to have rather had this in my Phone instead?.

With the Mi-Fi 'options' as secondary, rather than mandatory only?, lol.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh well. :-)

I love this type of Brexit rubbish :man:

The EU is a Free Trade Area and Customs Union.
The EEA is a Free Trade Area not Customs Union e.g. Norway
Switzerland is a partial member of the FTA but neither the EEA nor EU Customs Union.
You can be part of the EU Customs Union alone but not the FTA e.g. Turkey.

A swivel eyed Brexit loon was saying yesterday you have exit the EU Customs Union to control migration.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!, thanx for that. :-)

Yes, I have a Dual-SIM Phone already (but wouldn't mind another Dual-SIM Phone too, any recommendations?, lol), so this will work perfectly then in my existing Dual-SIM Phone, thanx. :-)

Ps.
What TalkMobile SIM at only 10p per 1 hour are you rocking please? (as I've had a few TalkMobile Contract SIM's in the last few years, but NEVER heard of your one too mind?, or am I missing something?, hehehe). :-)

OP .. "3 PAYG 4G Trio Data SIM Pack Preloaded with 12GB of Data £20.85 with 5% discount code @ MYMEMORY"

It's showing up as £22.75 for me AFTER the 5% discount code of 'VUB5' is applied?.

Is this correct? (and your Deal needs to be expired?, as it's now gone up).

Was there an error in the info you originally supplied, etc?.

Or is there something else that I'm missing?, thanx.

OK. So the sims turned up in the post today.

I will use this in my unlocked Nexus 6 and report back on whether it works... or not. If the latter I'd welcome recommendations on a small Wi-fi dongle.

I was being a bit thick! I've realised... it's not three SIM cards each with 4GB = 12GB, It's one SIM card with 12GB over a 12 month term. #stupid

We've been using one of these happily in France, but read somewhere that it may only last 2 months abroad. Anybody know if this is true for this sim?

I hope you're right Ralph, we're coming up to two months and still got 8gb left on it. I'll be well peeved if it doesn't let me use the rest in France...:disappointed:

Not sure -- just use up as much as you can! :wink:

Spoke with Three support last night. Seems the card I have is, as expected, a Data only card intended for tablets, dongles, etc. It can work in phones but apparently they look for signs of this and it can be suspended if they believe you're breaching their T&Cs. Just to be safe I stumped up some more cash for a Three Huawei dongle off eBay. Now, I'm just hoping that the 12GB doesn't expire on me before I even have a chance to use it abroad!!

The dongle in my case was the Huawei E5220.

Info here on setting up too.

I use it in the UK too. So you are saying it resets once you come back to the UK and starts counting your 'abroad' use again on your return? That's fine then, I don't use it more than 2 mths in one go, but have been back and forth using it over this year.

Usage restrictions

I finally found it...

So you cant use this in a mobile phone and tether , but you can put it in a mifi and all access that , whats the difference?

Echo that question: I'd want to use this in a MIFI, but if it blocks tethering, I can't see how it can be used in a MIFI.

Thanks Ralph

Nice one. Mines almost finished.

What a load of **** this is..... Bought this for use in America, and it was completely useless. Couldn't surf the internet, complained and was told they only offer 2G or 3G depending on coverage. I used it in Florida and could NEVER get connected to the internet.....Complete waste of money....

I'm in the netherlands and using it right now. What I did find is that when roaming it connects to a local network but i still need to login to the MiFi card I bought to use with it and manually instruct it to connect to the network for data. Once that's done it's A OK....

Ordered it ages ago now, but I think it was less than a week to turn up.

R

Ordered on the Friday 15th, despatched on the Monday 17th, received Friday today 21st. All the way from Switzerland. Was billed for £22.75 with VUB5 code but MyMemory will refund diff of current price £21.99 within 72 hours.:smiley:

I ordered 17th Monday and received today but I did pay extra 99p delivery for fast delivery cost me £22.99 so will setup in my cheap argos £4 mifi and take with me to spain next week.

I got the huawei 3g mifi which I got from Argos , it came with a ee 6gb sim card which I sold so the brand new mifi cost me £4 in the end. Used the unlock software I found on the net and unlocked it. I set the mifi up last week with the 3 sim 200mb free sim .
Just pit the new 3. 12gb sim in and its up and working so happy days will check online to make sure its setup for abroad.

This one's for anyone using one of these SIM data cardw and planning to use it overseas this weekend. Seems Three is doing sme maintenance which will mean you can't get online abroad, but can in the UK. Here's the blurb they sent me...
