Actually!
It's 3
:-)

I like the guy who boasts about the unlimited data for £7 then runs.

sounds a good deal but already with three. how do i keep my number and get quidco

​I used mine in Spain (Gran Canaria) and was able to use Skype, watch internet videos, download files, just a little slower than being at home. I thought it was good!

Very tempting...

:man:

sounds a good deal but already with three. how do i keep my number and get quidco

its 3

So tempting but the ofcom thing tells me very bad signal indoors and around me :/

This is a good deal.
It's a pity that their signal is next to useless - even in minor towns.

How do you get the refer a friend scheme to work with this?

How do you get quidco and referral both? referral amazon voucher requires order made through a referral link, so does quidco. so cant get both.

Although there is no feel at home EU roaming charges are dropped on the 30 June 2017

The only thing that makes 3 attractive is the feel at home and with this plan it does not apply. I'm out

Would have gone for this deal for the unlimited minutes for the missus, but her contract runs out on the 1st of November!

Hmmm...when I add the deal to the basket and then choose the nano sim option, on the next page it says the following 'Sorry there is nothing selected. We only keep items in your basket for a limited time. If you still want to buy something from us, please go back to the store.' :neutral_face:

Has anyone ever got one of these 3 deals to track on quidco? I have had to lodge tickets with the last 2 sim only deals, offering £50, on here... and still no sign of a resolution.

this is HOT. shame it doesn't include feel at home

Would be really sweet if it had tethering, I guess they wouldn't notice if you were using a smart phone as a wifi hotspot but would use up a lot of power if on all the time.

Is there any way tethering can be added for a small fee?

They must employ some sophisticated software to be able to reliably detect something like that.

Cheers op,ordered!

This is a good deal if you like to jibber jabber a lot down the phone. I went for the £7 a month unlimited data - the downside is that it 'only' has 200 minutes so not so good for jibber jabberer's. It does have feel at home though which I think is extremely useful if you travel a lot. So if you jibber jabber incecessently and believe tales that dragons roam outside of your towns borders - this is for you.

WiFi calling only works if you have an iPhone or a phone bought from 3 unfortunately!

It's not very sophisticated but they've been doing that for nearly 2-3 years already

So can't use this abroad?

​I used mine in Spain (Gran Canaria) and was able to use Skype, watch internet videos, download files, just a little slower than being at home. I thought it was good!

do you know when this offer expires?

How can a network provider prevent you from using your phone as a mobile hotspot / tethering?

Just use a VPN with a UK based server, sorts it. From experience, you need to switch the VPN off and on again occasionally, dont know if they recognise it after a bit, but on and off does the trick!

That is not true at all.

All you need is this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hutchison3g.threeintouch&hl=en_GB or the iOS version.

all these are not deals but promises of a deal : if you do this and you do that, you might even get the other
kind of enough of such deals.

Nah you're wrong. I don't have an IPhone and always buy my own phone and it works just fine for me and others.

Think you have quoted the wrong person there. :wink:

Are you allowed to pay the whole year up front?

Can you refer a friend and can they do quidco also. Thanks

just signed up for the deal. 4gb of 4g data, and unlimited min and text all for £9 p/m.....have some heat sir!!

How do i go throuh with the cashback? is there a specific link?

This is the best deal out there for unlimited minutes, I would DEFINATELY get this if that's a priority for you.

What kind of speeds are people getting on Three? I'm getting 7-8Mbps on LIFE.

I like the guy who boasts about the unlimited data for £7 then runs.

My bad it is £23 a month (the thread was £20 but I upgraded to unlimited) so its £10 on the nose a month for that. I think the £20 was something like 30gb and that was £7 a month

((12x23)-50-106) / 12 = £10 p/m

Deal is here

I'm on 3 already. Can I order this now, then spend a few days faffing around porting my number to a payg sim in order to keep my number? Or do I need to port it away first?

All done for my dad! I'm on Three's £23pm plan with AYCE but I doubt he'll get through 4GB... I hope! He's currently on ID's £5 a month for 1GB and rinsing through it watching Sky News videos and Facebook videos

spoke to three right now, they are saying it should last atleast a month

any one know how to get the cash back through quidco, never used them before.

Don't know how you had that experience but each time I've used it in France and Austria, it's been amazing. It kind of annoys me that things we take for granted aren't available abroad without extra cost but having the internet transformed our holiday - from things like live train data, Google maps, posting photos when we finished our race, even Bittorrent! Oh, and as for speed I managed to download 710MB of Garmin maps I'd stupidly forgotten to download in the UK while driving down the peage in around 15 minutes - having had to call Three to get roaming activated before (and who were really polite and knowledgeable).

Normally I cannot stand offshore call centres (instant bad mood) but Three is like a beacon of hope where some day I hope all offshore centres will be like theirs.

That's pretty slow for 3's Hspa+. I usually get about 30 mbps on HSPA+ and 60-70 mbps on 4G.

how do I get the Amazon gift voucher? link just takes me to a page explaining refer a friend. is this right?

States last year I had a far better experience, was able to stream 5livr (for footy) which was my main thing. This year, I was expecting even better with being in the EU and it was awful.

99% sure you can't get refer a friend AND cashback together, no?

WiFi calling works fine on my Android phone which wasn't purchased from Three. It's now available as an App in the play store. You don't have to have a phone purchased from Three in order for it to work.

Ffs, forgot about that other Three deal with the cashback + Amazon the other week (not that I really need 10GB+, if I'm honest). This deal's not too bad in comparison, though - I probably overestimate how much, if at all, I'll be in a Feel at Home country in the near future...

I don't doubt you have had a bad experience but I just had the opposite - it's been so good I took up the 30GB data deal as a result.

Will there be a problem keeping my current number that's on EE?

How do you go about using the quidco and the referral link?

Wow brilliant deal thanks. Will notify sister!

How do you get both the referral £25 and cashback?

Maybe slow but probably more indicative of what speeds you're likely to get, on average.

I rang up retention and got Unlimited Mins and Texts with 4GB data for £9.

that was 2 months back where I still can use it as mobile hotspot and feel like home.

Just missed this as i was on 2GB 200 mins and Ultd txts but phoned 3 and they will move me across next month no questions asked.:sunglasses:

can anyone tell me what "feel at home" is?

Ordered, thank you op.

Not sure if mentioned. But there's also a 30GB for the price of 8 deal too. With unlimited mins and texts for £23. I'll be taking that one up.

do other teclo's price match - been on tesco a loooooong time!

Is it only Quidco ? What about Topcashback ?

WiFi calling and the InTouch app are 2 different things

Has anyone's quidco tracked?

has anyone's quidco tracked?

Anyone know how long this deal will run for?

Same - 3 is brilliant on the east coast - I stream from Lowestoft down to Romford and its faultless - 3 offered me this same deal then the same with 8gb for £13 a month but I need tethering so sticking on rolling monthly 4gb 600 min @ £13 until something better turns up (I need more data only)

Hello Does anyone know how long this deal is going to be available for. Thanks

any one know how to claim cash through quidco

My Quidco has tracked - £30 not the £50 that was stated on the site

Feel at home definitely not on this? That's only thing holding me back. Checked coverage in my area no worse than EE

A question.. is there anyway, or am i not seeing the obvious, for you to add two of these deals to your basket, or do you have to order separately and have two separate credit checks? I am already a three customer but you can't seem to add more than a single line to your account unlike EE.

Thanks

Excellent deal but got very bad reception in my area. Calls cut off all the time.

WOW! :confused:

worked great for us, browsing, google maps, check ins, music was downloaded prior leaving the uk (google music) and the kids are not allowed you tube on holiday anyway, they just spend time with us

terrible customer service so i pass

None the less, the InTouch app works fine on my Android phone (Lollipop) and my son's (Marshmallow).

Not on Three, they don't have native wifi calling like EE and Vodafone.
All wifi calls and texts are through the InTouch app.

Technically isn't this an offer of 3gb of extra data on the 1gb SIM, rather than a 4gb sim (I don't know, but may be why it is paying £30 only).

This isn't true - I use Wifi calling on my S7 edge that I got on a Tesco mobile contract (which fortunately was unlocked)

thanks op 2 contracts ordered :sunglasses:

I'm on three payg, love the WiFi calling, but the thought of having a contract, encountering a problem and then having to speak to 'nigel' in the Indian call centre terrifies me. If you thought BT were bad...

Strange how many times this has been re-answered & re-asked. :smiley:

I think the poster has confused the wifi calling with the LTE voice (I read that that needs a 3 provided phone). The femtocell (can't remember the 3 brand name - think Voda call it sure signal) also should work with all phones (you register them to the cell - your neighbours can't use it).

On 3 PayasyouGo; what is the best way I can get this deal ( and keep my current 3 no) - do I have to port my no to another provider ( like Virgin) or is it possible to keep my no. when I sign on to 3

I am sure this has been asked and answered many times, just can't find it when I need to look at it....

unlimited minutes, just gotta go tell all the women in my life now, thx op

How do you refer a friend and get QuidCO, don't they have different links?

Shame I already renewed my EE last week, this seems a great deal.

I dont see this deal. 4GB Data and Unlimited mins! any direct URL?

Exactly! but still £30 extra hopefully.... £25 if quidco take their £5 fee for me

Looking again it may still be worth querying - Essential with 1gb data had 600 mins and unlimited texts at the £9 per month price point. That is still listed. This could therefore be a price reduction on the Essentials 4gb/unlimited/unlimited? Many mobile deals track at a lower default amount then uplift once the tariff is confirmed.

For Quidco there is a basic membership that does not have the £5 fee.

If it is £30 then refer a friend (£25 Amazon each for buyer and referrer ... assuming you could have the referrers share :wink:) would've better.

A family member referred me earlier in the week for the £25/£25 Amazon raf, while the £50 Amazon vouchers offer was still on (ended 1/9), so hopefully £108-£50-£50=£8 for the year for 200 mins/2gb data and unlimited texts :sunglasses:.

I was already with three on sim only deal, just called customer services, really helpful person there gave me the 4gb, unlimited texts and unlimited calls for the £9.

Just on the three TCB, my cash back showed as confirmed almost instantly but then when back to pending after a week or so, anyone else had this before? I am wondering if it has anything to do with porting my number over from my previous provider

That was on an iPhone SE if you were wondering. Never knew mobile speeds that good existed until then (and tbh never had it anywhere near as good, but quite often 25-35 Mbps).

You can get a free app from three which uses your home WiFi to boost the signal. Also works in any area with free WiFi (shops, McDonald's etc)

how long will this deal run for? My current billing period doesn't end until 9th October

would we receive 4G or 3G data?

It's 4G.

Possibly a stupid question - but do we know if the 4GB data is a forever thing, or whether it reverts to 1GB after the 12 months?

Should stay but if it doesn't, you can always cancel

I'm tempted by this but worried I don't get good reception in my house, it's fine with EE and Tesco mobile but no reception with virgin mobile, anyway to check before entering in to a contrac?

I'm currently on the same monthly allowances with 3 but under the "advance" plan so have teathering and feel at home @ £12pm. Not sure the advance extras are worth the extra money, I've never used them....

Get a free pay as you go SIM card online. Don't register the sim, just put it in, walk around and see what you get!

Is it easy to get cash back from quidco

Does anyone know for a 3 sim works in an 02 locked phone? Thanks.

It won't.

Ah cheers jnm21, I know giff gaff does. Will look out for good deals with them.

Virgin uses EE, so very unlikely to get good EE but poor Virgin (in theory possible if signal is good on 4G only as Virgin is 3G only).

​i can see that it's been asked many times but nobodys given a straight forward answer . From what I can see it's only one or the other probably the vouchers as that works out to be a bit more.

Does any one know if you already have a three contract and want to take this new deal as a NEW additional contract whether you can refer yourself ?

​I should have said it was a good few yrs ago that I struggled with virgin reception, probably be EE were about, wife uses EE with no problems now.

​www.thanksforyourhelp.com

I've been told three advertise these deals and once you have signed up they can increase the price and you are still tied in with them, is this true? I'm currently with tesco and when u enter a contract you know they keep it at that price.

You are correct I was asking about this and this is what i was told

"your contract is subject to an annual Retail Price Index increase which takes effect from May 2017, the RPI is published in the February of that year."

"For example, if you pay £25 a month for your price plan and the RPI rate published in February is 2%, in May your plan price would increase by 50 pence, so you would pay £25.50 per month for the next year."

hope that helps

No they almost never will as it will annoy customers. I was on one plan for 2 years and never had a prise rise until now

The price of this deal does NOT rise each year in line with inflation.

http://support.three.co.uk/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBISAPI.DLL?Command=New,Kb=Mobile,Ts=Mobile,T=Article,varset_cat=billing,varset_subcat=3770,Case=obj(15395)

"Any RPI-related price increase only applies to the monthly recurring contract charge payable for your package if you're on our new pay monthly terms and conditions, and won't apply to Add-ons. It also won't apply if you're on a SIM-only plan"

Managed to refer my wife, hopefully we will get the vouchers.

thanks for the info, after the yr is done does it just continue on the plan at the same price?​

How does referral and quidco both work together though - I think its an either off or not?

Have been with Tesco mobile for years, 4G coverage in most areas (O2). Never once had a price increase on a tariff whilst in contract and customer service faultless. I pay £8 pm for a 3.25gb data, 1000 mins and unlimited texts. Wouldn't risk for this deal but gets a hot vote from me :smiley:

SIMO from 3 is not subject to annual RPI price rises. In general and excluding RPI (and VAT increase that would be beyound 3's control), 3 t&c state the customer will receive 30days notice of (any) price rise, and if the customer does not wish to accept the price rise they can terminate the contract at no penanty within that 30days notice period. That is a reasonably standard obligation on most telecomms providers.

​how did you get this deal, please? if Tesco were to offer me this I'd probably stay but the deal with three here is seriously tempting me to switch to them

Unfortunately They don't work together - it is one or the other as both offers use a ink/cookies.

yep ;-)

Anyone know when this deal is expiring?

If I had that £8 deal I wouldn't move. On Tesco SIMO but 2GB (3G) data for £10, so double data and 4G sounds good, just awaiting a PAYG to test coverage @ home/work/gym/shopping.

I have contacted Tesco about moving, they couldn't match the deal yet buy asked me to hild in until the 6th as they have new deals coming out on this day.

http://www.three.co.uk/terms-conditions/4gb-for-1gb 30th september

Called EE today for my PAC code (which was texted to me immediately) after seeing this deal. Best they could offer me on the same call was 2GB, Unlimited Minutes and Unlimited Texts for £10. Is this a good deal? Haven't had a call yet from their retentions team.

The ability for native tethering and WiFi calling on EE is pretty decent :L

By not sophisticated you mean, you've been able to spoof it? :wink: I've used user agents etc. but it only worked for a little while, im not on 3 anymore but I was wondering... :man:

hmm, they didn't offer me that when I asked for a pac code for my sisters contract. I probably would've gone for it as I need to tether some times. I'm on T-mobile at the mo on a £10pm contract with 1gb data and 300mins which are enough for me but could do with a little more data. the only reason I am looking to stay with tmob is because I have 0845 numbers within my allowance

​Aren't 0845 numbers sort of dying out now?

Yeah canny operators replaced them with 0844 lol

Quidco is really **** me off lately... it does not track most of transactions and always have to open manual claims.... Thanks for this HOT. ordered on Friday.

I am feeling slightly disappointed with this deal, not because of the service or product - but because I as an existing customer I was given this 'exclusive' retention deal when I tried to leave 2 weeks ago, before it was available to anyone.

Now I find there was not actually any exclusivity or preferential treatment toward existing customers.

14 day cooling period

Make a visit to India then see if you still feel the same way, if you do, youre a sad individual

Do it 29/30 sept , ends 30/9

4G , depends on your phone model

Reverts, switch in 12 mths to best deal in the future

You poor poor thing, welcome to the real world

6ixfoot1 - get on the blower to tmob & refuse to get off until same deal as mysterd , use weQ4u for 0845 numbers

Surely Three customer service isn't so bad you have to go and visit in person now? Still, they probably treat customers better than they do their women.

Quidco £30 , so £78 / 12 so its £6.50 a mth right?
Currently got 900min,600txt,unltd data tethering & free t-mobile calls on 3G though all for £9 with tmobile , who will give me unlimited calls texts & 2Gb data on 4G for £10 - dont really use the data though but its handy

so what do people think, is it worth moving to Three (3) or sticking with current tmobile plan or the new tmobile offer? Which is best?

You should go for it

Go for what!?

I'll allow myself one more reply to a clear racist bigot imbecile , you make dumb & dumber look smart

Yay! The racist card! Wondered how long it would be till you pulled that one out. And people wonder why Brexit won the day.

Be careful, recently ordered sim through TCB, tracked at £165 now gone to £0 and many others have suffered same.. Going to cancel mine tomorrow as they are closed now. I transferred my number so if I cancel, will they give me a PAC code or could they change the sim to a pay as you go until I get a different contract sorted with someone else

Quidco £30 , so £78 / 12 so it's £6.50 a month right?

Currently I've got 900min,600txt,unlimited data tethering & free t-mobile to t-mobile calls (on 3G not 4G though ) all for £9 with t-mobile, called retentions who say they will give me unlimited calls texts & 2Gb data (on 4G) for £10 - been with them a very very long time

So what do people think is my best option, this 3 SIM deal, my current tmob deal or upgrade
t-mobile deal ? which would you go for ? best value ?

Moved my wife over to this deal from Tesco. He couldn't believe I was getting this deal and said I'd be going through a 3rd party for that deal. :laughing:

Is there a source for this?

This promo ends on 30th. September, earlier than the other offers from 3. The 20 GB & 30 GB offers are available until 3rd. November.

No source, you could ask them? , just an assumption

Is there a way to use Quidco + Refer a friend?
Me and my GF are both on Three 3-2-1 Pay as you go...
To get this deal we need to be new customers? So if we start 2x new contracts, we will have to transfer our numbers from the old Pay as you go cards?

If we have to pick Quidco vs Amazon vouchers, I guess £50 in shared vouchers each contract is better than £30, but I wonder If I can do that twice?

Does anyone know if Three planning to bring £50 Amazon voucher back again?

anyone had problems paying the 10p I cannot get it to go through - it just says technical issue try later... I've tried 2 cards repeatedly all day. I get the tick saying credit check passed?

Contacted EE yesterday. Their retentions dept could not get anywhere near this deal. Have therefore signed up a month early to benefit from the Quidco cash back which their site states expires later today? Many thanks for this deal

I also was able to use mine for video in France and have used it for video in the US and other feel at home countries. The download quality abroad will obviously vary but I've actually found London is the worst spot for coverage. Thankfully I don't live in London.

So even though hotspot is not enabled can I not use FoxFi?

Quidco £30 , so £78 / 12 so its £6.50 a mth right?
Currently got 900min,600txt,unltd data tethering & free t-mobile calls on 3G though all for £9 with tmobile , who will give me unlimited calls texts & 2Gb data on 4G for £10 - dont really use the data though but its handy

so what do people think, is it worth it for me moving to Three (3) or sticking with current tmobile plan or the new tmobile offer? Which is best?

I moved from my uswitch life mobile 30 day roller. £5.95 for 1500mins and unlimited texts and 1gb of 3g data.

I feel with the quidco and the 4G data it was worth it. Don't even use 1gb of 3g but maybe now that am on 4G I may use more.

Me, no feel at home, no deal

How sure are you of this mate? When I asked on live chat, they said it'll continue with the 4GB. There wasn't an option to email the chat to myself as I wanted to keep proof.

I believe 3 do good retention deals and can totally see them offering you the data amount for staying on. I think someone above mentioned that they were offered it already. good for 12 months any how

they're just being replaced with other numbers.

didn't know about WeQ4u, Thanks!!

UK landlines is Free ??
voicemail is Free ??

If I was to take up this offer today, when would my 1st payment be taken?

​If your finances are that tight then ditch the phone & other luxuries.

How do you know his financial situation from one post? There could be countless reasons as to why he's asked this. Muppet.

If you're not really using the data, then it's probably best for you to stick to your current plan. If the cashback works out on this Three deal, you'll be saving £30 over the course of 12 months, which doesn't seem like a huge saving. Your call!

Was this Live Chat with Three? I didn't think that was an option any more.

Yes mate, been on it a couple of times last couple days

Could you let me know where the link to that is, as I haven't seen it since about April. Cheers :-)

whats the three network like in birmingham, presently woth tesco mobile 750mins 5000text 1GB of 4g data...on a monthly £10....really need more data so was thinking of getting this..was with three years ago when they started was pants thoiugh, im assuming its improved now...

I got £30.08 on quidco. Is it worth asking them why it it not 50 or not. As it did say £50 cashback

Oh it says this


What to expect on your first bill.
Your first bill will be available for you to view in 7-10 days. About 19 days later we'll take this payment by Direct Debit, so please ensure you have sufficient cleared funds in your bank account at this time. The bills for your new agreement with Three must be paid on time; failing to do this may have a negative impact on your credit rating. You can keep track of your usage and bills by going to My3 on your mobile or at Three.co.uk/my3.
The first bill you'll receive from us will be higher than your usual monthly charge as we charge you for a month and up to 8 days. Find out more at Three.co.uk/bills.

Ended up renewing my contract with EE in the end. £9.99 for 2GB data (tethering allowed), Ultd. minutes and Ultd. texts. Next step up was 3GB for £15.99 and 8GB for £19.99. This was through the Upgrades/Retentions team.

I know retentions deals are user specific but I just wanted to put it out there what I got so others know what is possible.

Can you cap THREE monthly allowances? Its for my youngest, aged 11, dont want him spending ££££s on data!

How long did it take for quidco to show up? I've just placed the order with three now through quidco. thanks!
Should mention I'm new to Quidco.. never used it until now.

sometimes it takes a few days for quidco to track....think ill go for this deal..ill let you know if mine tracks..

just placed my order...

Got an email saying it got tracked 1 -2 hours after signing up

I remember checking it a day after and it showed up, and I never used it either until the other day for this deal. Thanks

Just got two of these and also tracked with quidco £30.08 + £25 amazon referred a friend voucher

£108 (£9x12) - £30.08 (quidco) - £25 (amazon) = £52.92

£52.92 / 12 = £4.41

Well pleased :-)

Also, quidco tracked after 2-3 hrs

​Well he/she was concerned when a payment of £9 was going to come out of the account. Its not £90, only £9.

Can you think of other reasons why someone would be concerned about paying such a small amount?

Oh and I won't stoop to your level and call you Muppet or any other name back.

Mine tracked after a few hours, payable 17 Nov..

Hi

How do you refer a friend and use quidco?

Well done if you have got both to track, interested to see how you got both to track. If you have someone you know to refer you (doesn't have to be a Three customer - someone in your house would be helpful :wink:) then you could hopefully get both referrer and referee £25s :smiley:.

I used the following process:

1) Logged into Quidco and used link to refer me to Three
2) Signed up for new account
3) Received email from Three about new account and refer a friend for £25 (copied link)
4) Cleared browser cache and signed out of quidco
5) Logged into Quidco and used link to refer to Three
6) Used link on Three webpage and it reconised I was refered by a friend
7) Signed up for new account (Wife's details)
8 ) Received welcome email from Three for Wife's account
9) Received a refered a friend email from Three to my account

Hope that helps

Got 2 of these but only problem is that there is no signal at home or my work or my other work or anywhere indoor. It kills the battery aswell. Got pac codes moving to giffgaff for now.

Thats a shame, already used a PAYG sim last year so my signal is OK with Three :-)

The QUIDCO listing states £50 cashback for " 12 month SIM contracts with 4GB or more data per month". As it appears buyers are getting only £30 cashback from QUIDCO I have contacted them. I have just spoken to a QUIDCO operative on the phone who has promised to check the matter with 3 Mobile. So anyone who thinks that there is a problem with their expected cashback should notify QUIDCO.

Thanks for this, but could you clarify. To do this I need to order two accounts and will only get the extra £25 on one of them?

So if I only want one account I will only be able to do the quidco thing.

edit, also for two accounts i would need two quidco accounts?

I used one quidco account and setup two new Three contracts

For refer a friend, you need someone to refer you - if that happens to be someone in your house then even better as you both get £25 Amazon (or you get both if it is family and with their agreement/help!). To register, all you/they need to do is give your nawe, email address and mobile number (you do not need to be a Three customer).

Its £50 for 4gb and above contracts, but this is a 1gb deal with "3gb free" so it doesnt count as a 4GB contract, cheeky i know but they just using a loophole.

I knew 3 were stating "4GB for the price of 1GB". But it is still 4GB. They are not actually stating "FREE". It is really just an alternative way of showing a price reduction for 4GB. QUIDCO, 3 Mobile and Trading Standards may have different views. Anyway it is a good offer @ £9 but obviously even better with the £30 cashback. The promo is supposed to run to 30-09-16, but the 3 Mobile callcentre say it is almost the only product customers are interested in at the moment and the offer might be withdrawn earlier !

It uses a different APN when connecting to the network so it's pretty easy to differentiate when it's billed

They won't, they'll just charge you for the data you use when you do tether

I have a HuaweiP9 bought from Vodafone on the Three network and I use the wifi calling app OK

How would they know it was your tethered laptop rather than your phone that was using the data?

They can tell buy the operating system your data is used by. When used on a laptop they can clearly see its been consumed on a Windows 10/8/7 device.



Yeah, my mistake I was getting mixed up between Threes 4G voice, however the intouch app still isnt true Wifi calling.

How does this work if I am already with three and looking to get a new contract for my missus - do I just send her an invite from my 3 account and then use that link via Quidco to get her a contract?

ordered yesterday and the sim arrived today, unfortunately my iphone is locked to EE so I'll need to sort that out.

If you moan too much. You will not get a penny at all.

quidco tracked at £30.08

True, it can be read either way, depending on your perspective. From memory though unlimited minutes/texts and 4gb data was the higher priced Essentials tariff before this promo (unless I am mistaken there wasn't an unlimited mins/texts and 1gb data at the £9 price point? Quidco will go with what Three tell them anyway.

Thanks poster have ordered 2 sims, switching from Tesco, only thing that concerns me is it costs to call customer services, but then it's ul calls, & 084 numbers are 45p plus service charge! I hope there is some barring of numbers via three we can put in place.

Tethering uses a different APN on the device, this flags the difference in usage to the network

I have good credit, a £5k overdraft available from my bank and two credit cards with decent limits, yet I failed to get a £9 a month contract!

Pitty as it was the perfect deal for my niece.

just upgraded with 3 for £9. was thinking of going PAYG and coming back but too much hassle. Was paying £13 before..

for 90 days in a year...

Does this mean that all UK networks can use their data allowance in all European countries?

Not sure, but with Brexit it may be a short lived benefit :confused:

Is calling your voicemail included within the unlimited minutes or is this an extra cost?

Thanks in advance

Included

If i'm an existing 3 PAYG customer am I treated as a new customer if i go for this?

Also, as I want to keep my current 3 PAYG number, can it easily be ported onto this new contracted sim? What is the easiest way to do this.

Thanks again

That make no sense, have you checked your credit file, its free via Noddle Credit check

Can anyone help.... the refer a friend link does work (https://www.three.co.uk/refer-a-friend) and also I can't find the 4gb tarriff on their website - any links to it directly please? Thanks!

got my sim today..put in my htc m8...signal inside only 2 bars..inside reception is rubbish..i only get "H"...when i go in garden i get "4G" signal still 2 bars...

Surely, you've got a 14 day cooling off period, send it back, you should be able to, should you not?

yeh

Has anyone who took out the deal recieved their amazon vouchers?

Thanks, I use Noodle and Clear Score, my credit is good.

I rang Three to query this and they didn't even have any note of me on the system. I tried to apply again, but their system was down (so I'm guessing it completed screwed up and then lost my 'application'). When they were finally back online properly I applied again and it's approved and am now awaiting the sim.

Great deal, voted hot!

Well thats a lie loooool

Thanks OP, moved over from EE/ T-Mobile, got more data and saved £6 a month, plus cashback (tracked) plus I no longer have to help fund those stupid Kevin Bacon adverts.

It's win-win! Have some heat!

anyone having trouble registering ?

Just wanted to find out whether anyone has recieved their amazon vouchers? My first e-bill is available to view btw

good deal

As a long term customer, since the 3 Mobile launch in 2003, I have been unable to login to my account since Tuesday 13/09. The products and packages can be viewed on the site, but it is just the login option that is not functioning. I have phoned 3 who say they are aware of the problem, which is said to be due to the iPhone 7 launch. 3 say purchases can be made by phoning the sales callcentre, but that will obviously not give cashback from Quidco or TCB.

Can some one explain in detail on how to get Amazon voucher + Quidco both. Comment #220 of this thread has explained step by step to achieve this; however on step one it says;
1) Logged into Quidco and used link to refer me to Three.
How to use Three refer a friend link on Quidco website.
More details will be helpful.
Thanks.

is the data capped on this?

​i need help with this too as I got to three from quidco link which does not automatically recognised me as referred by my friend.

anyone know how long this is on for?

Also anyone had their Quidco cashback tracked yet?

mine tracked bought last night, tracked at £30.08

Bought this SIM for my mother.
I'm with EE on seperate contract (18months, 4gb data, ultd mins and texts. Paying £23 per month and got a free Note 4 with the contract).
Phoned EE to get PAC code to cancel my mothers old contract, and ended up being told I can add her as a second line to my contract and get better offers. After bit of haggling managed to agree on the second line for £8 extra per month (12 month contract) with unlimited minutes and texts, and 10gb shared data between myself and my mother.
Amazing deal, so now cancelling this 3 sim within the 14 day cooling off period!
Effectively got a deal of unltd mins, ultd texts and 6gb data for £8 per month direct from EE

You may have missed a trick by only using a referral for the second contract,since you don't have to be a 3 customer to become a referrer. Just sign up at https://www.three.co.uk/refer-a-friend . Referer and referee of course need different email addresses.

Has anyone successfully claimed on Refer a Friend *and* had cashback pay out?

Does anyone know when this offer ends, and if it reverts to 1GB after 12 months?

You may see the answer in a previous message I listed. This offer is valid to 30-09-16. There are other 3 Mobile promos for 20GB and 30GB which are available to 03-11-16. In a previous phone call to the 3 callcentre the operative said that the package in the original contract offer would continue at the same rate unless ended by the subscriber. The operative also stated that this offer was in high demand and could possibly be withdrawn sooner. The Quidco cashback has passed it's original end date and has obviously been extended. Based on this info I would think anyone considering the offer would be best advised to take it before either Quidco or 3 short circuit the promo !

My previous message info is repeated above.

​how did you get such a good deal. that's pretty awesome!

Hi guys what the best rolling monthly sim only deal that doesn't use 02 or Vodafone?

Looking for around 1000 mins the usual u/l txts and 4 -5 gig of data?

Thanks for your help

Is there a way to know if the refer a friend amazon voucher is granted? you can track on quidco about the cashback but I asked three they cannot tell me if my order will get the amazon voucher of not (£25)

The person who referred can check their referral page and it shows the current status and they would also have received an email - "You're almost there." confirming successful referral. That would show it is logged on the system and give evidence if they don't send the voucher (problem is voucher is not due until 3 months after sign up if I recall correctly).

and the Three store is down!

Curses...

With this sim contract can you get the Three Home Signal box if your indoor reception is poor?

i believe "3" users have a three in touch app available so you don't need any extra box

How to get refer a friend and cashback to track? Tried what someone says but no luck.

back up now, best sign up before they get rid!

There is nothing on the referral page? according to the one who referred me

Did they receive an email (check Junk folder too). If not then it may not have tracked properly?

I've got three mates who want this deal..can they still go through quidco even if I send them the link that shows 3 that I recommended them,?..will I get 3 X Amazon vouchers?

I was thinking that as well?

Anyone got their amazon vouchers, I want to buy fifa with them lool

yes

If they ordered 3 months ago, possibly yes they will have received their Amazon. Otherwise no as you have to wait 3 months from sign up?

Anyone knows when this ends? Thx

You obviously have not read my previous messages. Check the most recent #270 for info.

How to get the quidco and Amazon vouchers, both? Cant seem to understand what has been explained on comment 220

1) Someone (*cough* needs to be someone with a different email address from yours) signs up here as a referrer. "They" give "you" the referral link they get from Three.

2) Clear browser cookies (or just three.co.uk cookies if you know how). Follow link from Quidco to Three, so Quidco "gets the cookie".

3) Paste the link you were given by the referrer into the address bar and press Enter. A message should come up with the name of your referrer.

4) Navigate to the SIM only offers and place your order

Note that while Quidco and Amazon vouchers have both apparently tracked for the author of comment #220, we don't know whether both or either will pay out.

i might be a little screwed. quidco not tracking and not sure if it was ordered in the refer a friend link and three cannot tell me if I did or not and not knowing if I will get the Amazon voucher.

received sim card and all up and running no problems, only thing can you cap your data usage? i can see you can cap calls but cant see anything about data..any help would be appreciated

Anyone please help me!! I want to use this quidco thing right.. i called three got the contract now how would i apply for cashback ? i have made a new account on quidco and registered my debit card too. But what to i click for it to trace the three cash back? i have never used quidco or cashbacks any help would be awesome please.

you need to make new quidco account, then you go to 3 website via quidco and then you place your order and quidco should track your visit/order
you will not get quidco if you ring 3 direct, order via quidco

Has this expired now?

probably the most stressful process i have experienced in ages.
1) quidco did not track, raised a claim, no one knows, no one bothers to get in touch. I kept emailing, and spent a fiver to be upgraded to premium customer so i get LIVE chat, girl said would take 4 months to get an answer , so that is screwed if i kept the contract and don;t get the cash back.
2) three - even worse as no one has the ability to check if my order was a straight order or thru a refer a friend scheme. And will say get back to me in three days blah blah blah, and i think they will drag me on until i gone past the cooling off..

pain in the bum really cos it was wasted my weekend trying to save a few pennies to sort things out.. and it happened to be a complete waste of time

no
http://www.three.co.uk/Store/SIM/Plans_for_phones#?contract=All&data=4&minutes=&type=alltype

Thanks, I spoke to three earlier today about something else and asked about this, I was told all the Amazon vouchers were used and the offer had been withdrawn.

The Amazon vouchers that were offered with specific deals appear to have gone, but it looks as though they're still on offer for refer-a-friend https://www.three.co.uk/refer-a-friend

Almost correct for CS - Amazon offer ended 1st September (hopefully haven't run out as I like others am waiting for mine!). Refer a friend (£25 each) is still running.

What amazon offer? I thought it was just the refer a friend 25 for which you could chose for them to be amazon vouchers?

Thanks op,ordered.Much appreciated

I am currently with EE - my 2-year contract has just expired. I would like to do this SIM only 3 deal through Quidco. If I ring up EE I will have to give 30 day's notice (my phone is also locked to them I think - got the deal through Mobiles.co.uk). I would like to keep my number - is it possible to phone up EE today and say I would like to switch over with them to a Pay As You Go SIM (to keep my number) - if I do that, will I still need to give 30 day's notice? Also, if I do the PAYG SIM, a few days after doing it, would I then be able to port my number over to the 3 deal (how much do EE charge to unlock your phone?).

I am also wondering, is it just possible to have my phone unlocked whilst I am in the 30 day's notice and insert the new 3 SIM only card and start using it during the 30 days - seeing that the 3 deal runs out on 30/9/16?

The Amazon £50 of vouchers offer which came with some of the SIM only plans and ended on 1st September.

Just upgraded to this. I'm very happy :-))) thanks op

I've done this deal - £50 cashback with Quidco, however, I have received an email saying that it has tracked at £30. Will this increase later, or, should I raise a claim about it - and, perhaps, take a photo of the page where it says it is £50? Thank you.

Mine has tracked as £30.08, not £50.00. However, it did say that to get the 4GB data, you had to pay by direct debit and for doing that they give you a £5.00 a month discount, so might query it I think.

Just looked at a cashback claim, however, it says that 3 will not even look at my query/claim until 90 days have passed after the purchase date, so that means that they won't even consider it until at least 20th December. I think that I might now wait to see if the correct amount is updated later (it does say that they sometimes enter a smaller amount and adjust it).

cashback is £30 not £50..i think this has been answered before somewhere..

I believe someone in this thread was told that because this is a 1GB tariff put up to 4GB for a limited time, it gets the £30 cashback offered for tariffs under 4GB. It would be interesting to see how anyone gets on by claiming on TCB then submitting a Highest Cashback Claim...

Mine didn't track at all, submitted a claim and they said it takes 4 months for them to answer. Well, they don;t have a 4 months cooling off period tho. Pretty screwed up here.

I have been involved and dealt with this query in previous messages. I contacted QUIDCO and in a following phone call I asked why only £30 was tracked and not the £50 as stated on the site. The operative said they would contact 3 and if the cashback was wrong it would be amended. I did not get any cashback update from QUIDCO. The reason for only £30 cashback is that it is considered to be only a 1GB package, with the "extra GB free". It is not, as I and other customers consider it to be, a price reduction on a 4GB package ! There is the separate situation of "£5 discount". It does not relate to or involve QUIDCO or TCB discounts ! This £5 discount is applied to all 3 contracts when paying by the 3 preferred payment method of D.D. So the listed price will only be for the D.D. price. If you pay for any 3 package by any method other than D.D. £5 will be added to the stated price ! As a reminder to those who have not seen my previous messages (including #270), this 3 promo is only valid to 30th. September. A 3 operative has told me in a phone call that due to heavy demand the offer could be withdrawn prior to that date. The original QUIDCO £30 cashback offer ended, but has been extended so it might not continue to the same date !

Guys,

My 15 year old brother is already with three and wants to keep his current phone number, How can this be done?

His current contract has just run out so is free to move onto a new deal.

I also want to get the quidco cashback too.

My contract is up this month, contacted 3 and quoted this deal and asked for pac if they couldn't better it, got it for £7 per month.

Change the sim to payg number...then get contract and port over number

You can't port the numbers directly three to three, same with all networks won't let you port numbers internally, get a virgin sim (arguably the fastest to port in and out) and port out to virgin then back to three. Pain in the ass but only way to do it i think.

How long does it take for your referral page to update with that little heart symbol to say someone's bought a SIM via your link?

Quidco tracking already and followed the steps above.

Ta.

Can someone post a screen shot of what referral page status looks like (please blank off the private details) as mine didn't track and have no idea what the status page looks like as its not there.

Thanks just got this contract, have some heat :smiley:

Do you need porting if you already have a 3 pay as you sim card (with the number you want to keep)? Or when signing up they will have to give you a new sim?

Also can you "refer" yourself to this deal when signing up and then refer someone else?

Quidco seems to have gone through. Haven't had an email confirmation regarding the amazon vouchers.

Ordered this morning. Checked junk folder. Nothing there.

Those that have had an email informing them of the vouchers How long did the it take for the email to be sent?

Thanks

Do you have a link for £7 deal please?

I referred a friend on Thursday and watched her click on the link and sign up to the offer but no email for me :-((

Have emailed three ref refer a friend will update when they reply

Great deal, thank you!
Does anybody knows when this deal expires?

end of the month i believe so only a few days left.

Read my message #270.

I just enquired instore and was told that the deals are monthly, so end of September. However if a deal is going particularly well, which this one is, they could extend by another month. But no way of knowing yet. I'm going to purchase the deal and hold off activation for 30 days, as my current contract has just rolled into a new month.

By not activating what will it do? I recieved my sim and haven't installed it yet as my old contract hasn't run out yet, will this contract only start after installing sim?

I *think* that unless you asked to delay activation it will probably be activated. He said I could purchase the card and activate it a couple of days prior to the current one expiring.

The promo timeframe was stated in #270. As regards to "activation", it is irrelevant when you start using the SIM. It is a contract that will be paid by Direct Debit and the initial payment date will be fixed by 3. Simply put, your contract starts when you receive the SIM, (3 may ask you to confirm receipt), you will then pay even if you don't use the SIM.

Thank you for your help! I think Ill go for this deal then.Shame that my contract ends after a month :disappointed:

I have referred two family members last week using my referral link and watched them order using the link successfully and they are now using the sim cards, but my three referral page still shows the following:

Are the small hearts supposed to light up with each referral?
Has anybody had the small hearts light up yet?

Thanks

there's NOBODY here claims he got both quidco and refer a friend tracked, that probably says something.

I didn't use any cash back deals for my refer a friend and still no referral confirmation

I used the pay as you go version of feel at home in Gran Canaria and it was excellent! It slowed a bit during peak but it was far better value than buying a local sim at 25 euros.

No true there is an App in the Google Play store. Works fine. BUT the App needs you to be in range of a cell tower to set up. Its a bit mad I had to 1) Install the app 2) Walk 2 miles to get a signal to register the app on my phone (One time setup) 3) Walk back to the hotel and use the Wifi. Was able to get / make calls and texts no problems. Not sure if it works outside the UK though.

http://www.three.co.uk/discover/three_intouch

For Wifi Calling and in home use (e.g. with an ATA and a normal phone) I would recommend VOIPSTUNT service low cost and reliable superb call quality.

Yes I've done this on Virgin (to get int roaming as I was new customer) Three and most telco will love to take your money.

I think the biggest single cost for roaming was integrating the billing systems.
So the telcos just net off the difference in bandwidth at the wholesale level so its peanuts for them. So AYCE is cheap to implement and run as say ATT users here can use Three networks and visa versa. At the end of each carrier billing period they pay one amount to settle the difference in usage UK Vs US.

Yep giffgaff blocked me a few years back, so went on the much missed one plan....

I use PdaNet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&hl=en_GB unlock it with Foxfi http://www.alltechshare.com/pdanet-full-version-free/ which gives undetectable tethering for most phones....

It gives undetectable USB or Bluetooth tethering not WIFI (which is still detectable) Bluetooth is ok for surfing but is speed limited because of Bluetooth limitations, but usb is full speed (I get 30 - 50 mbps ) thru my 4g phone...


And in reference to wifi calling above , Whatsapp lets you do this , but is limited (IIRC) to recipients who have whatsapp....

Was anybody able to get both the Quidco and refer a friend?

Anybody any news on refer a friend ? Going to phone them tomorrow wish me luck lol

I tried calling them. But the customer service team told me to register on their getmyvoucher page. I realised after the call that this was for the £50 voucher last month. Need to make another call to them tomorrow

You don't need to be a 3 customer to register and refer someone. For example, my wife who is not a 3 customer registered. She referred me. I used the link that she had sent me to order my sim.

I'll end up taking both vouchers :smiley:

Ok so I phoned three this afternoon option 4 then 4 again and 4 again I think. Complained that my refer a friend was not showing on my dashboard, first advisor kept going insisting I had to wait until my friend had paid 3 months bills which I knew anyway. Was put through to customer relations she logged my complaint and promised she would ensure I got my vouchers when due, she also credited my account with my next line rental payment and reduced my tariff. All in all a good experience once I got talking to customer relations

How did you approach the 'your friend' bit? Were you originally referring yourself/referred by a family member? If so, what did you say to them?

I was just honest and said I was the existing customer which I am and basically was not happy that it was not showing on my "dashboard" and also I had sent an email to the email address quoted for referrals and had not had a response in the 48 hours advised. The call was very calm

Same, called up. Got a reduction off my next bill. Sent a transcript of my conversation where assurance was given that amazon vouchers will be given after the 3rd bill. Let's see what happens

​ó

used this deal as leverage to negotiate a renewal with o2 (£12 for unlimited mins/txts and 5gb data on to of being let off the last month of my current contract at £34). Not bad I'd say!

Advice for anyone new to this listing. Note that this promo is planned to end TODAY !!! The QUIDCO cashback of £30 relating to this promo is still available.

Hello, I need help fast. It is my first time using Quidco. I purchased this more than 24 hours ago, but Quidco has not tracked yet. Should I cancel this or it is normal for Quidco to take this long? Thanks.

I would open a query with quidco.

However, You could just order another sim and cancel the first one informing them that you accidentally ordered twice. Just don't put the first Sim in the phone and make sure you cancel.

This offer is still showing and also on quidco

Both the 3 promo and the QUIDCO cashback are still available when added to basket, so the original end date of 30/09/16 appears to have been extended. (Other offers are on promo to 03/11/16).

Ordered. Let's see if quidco tracks and or the friends referral comes through

Thanks. I just cancelled the order and ordered another one which was tracked in half an hour. I, however, want to order two of this plans. Can I do it from the same Quidco account? Also can I use the same DD details on the three site? Thanks!

Quidco tracked at £30.08

Thanks

can someone go.through again on how to use the referral link as well as quidco and being tracked ? that's where I was stuck last time making no quidco and not eligible for referral voucher.

I've ordered a couple of slms in the past from 3. Paid out no problems

here a snip from my quidco (it was 3 years ago)

https://s17.postimg.org/952qqeimn/3_quidco.png

Has anyone who has bought this sim tried using it as a hotspot?
Is it disabled from the settings?

I would like to take out another contract for my wife - but given that she is a housewife and hasn't worked in a while I am assuming her credit history etc. wouldn't be sufficient enough for her to pass the check and get the number on her own. Can I rather do a self-referral of sorts for the amazon voucher then and take out another contract - only that she would be using it or is there anything I miss here?

Thanks in advance.

It worked perfectly with the same account! I have successfully ordered two of these sims. Thank you for helping!

Is it possibile to get both Quidco and amzon vouchers

this would be helpful bit lost here as well

How did you manage to use a refer a friend link with Quidco to track?

How does the cash back work? Do you have to go to through to the deal via quidco or direct to 3?

To ans all the question
1. the procedure's mentioned in post 220
2. vast majority of people get quidco tracked (30.08GBP)
3. NO ONE as far claims their refer a friend link's tracked, but there's possibility the tracking light will go green three months later.
4. you dont need to be a three customer to refer other people or simply make up a name to refer yourself, so you get both 25 pounds amazon voucher.
5. the offer will not end on 1st of oct, so you can take your time and compare.

Hi there, are we totally sure that you do not have to be a Three customer to refer someone???

Yes.

You gotta be clever

When does deal ends now? End of October?

EE are offering the same deal at £8.99 for anyone that would rather be with them

Is there some quidco cashback also on EE?

Link? or phone deal?

Spoke to them on live chat and mentioned this deal.

Anyone in East Sussex Bexhill on sea area or surrounding? What's the coverage on 3 like?

Cheers

you serious?
you got screen shot?
I've been asking EE to price match Three 4GB £9 offer for weeks and they are just turning me down :disappointed:

let me know!
thanks in advance!

Has this deal ended ?

If I click the "Get Deal" link, it just takes me to the three.co.uk website, it doesn't take me to the specific SIM.
If I click SIMs and phone SIMs the lowest one has 2GB and is £10 a month. I can't see this deal anywhere... expired?

It's still there

Sorry no I did not take a screenshot.

Many thanks OP..

I took out this £108 deal - £30 quidco cashback and a home signal box for free (which they claim has a value of £75).

Have some heat!

Really need them to come up with a good deal on feel at home tariffs

I'm just looking at the coverage checker to see whether I have a chance or no chance of a decent signal. It says 'good service' for 4G coverage but aside from 4/3G is there a way I can check what my actual phone signal will be like, for making calls, not using internet? Or is this coverage checker covering that as well?

Coverage checker checks everything but if buying online you should have a 14 day cooling off period

Just been looking at the terms and found out the 4GB for the price of 1GB offer ends on 3rd Nov.

This deal will be good for the missus as she needs unlimited minutes! :laughing:

Why? Because he doesn't want the hassle of dealing with someone whose native language isn't English? It's not racist to dislike Indian call centres - it's experience of what can go wrong.

How did you get the home signal box for free? Was it recently?

Just last week.

You do need to make a bit of a fuss on the live chat, get them to call you and be put through to customer relations in the UK. As I was a new customer I threatened to cancel my contract as I genuinely couldn't get a signal at home.

Goddamit - I bought three "Essential" plans in-store on Sunday. I could have had £30 and £100 of vouchers if I'd just done it at home...

I must remember to think these things through in future. Still, a pretty good deal...

Not necessarily. I followed the Quidco + Amazon voucher referral tips found on here and not only has the cashback not tracked, I have no way of knowing if the Amazon voucher referral is valid until way after the cooling off period is well past by the sounds of it.

Anyone know how long it actually takes for Three cashback to register on Quidco and when do the little hearts light up to signify a successful referral?

Mine are still greyed out.:neutral_face:

Like you, I followed the instructions and actually used two different Internet browsers to purchase the new contract with Three. I used my referral link and also went via Quidco. My cashback from Quidco has not tracked, so I waited a day or so and then put in a missing track and now it's just a waiting game.

If you log into your Three account (where you created your referral link: Refer A Friend), you should see one of your hearts lit up and that shows a link between your account and the new referral - my referral is in the pending stage as you need to wait three months.

That's were the problem lies!


I also used two different browsers.

Does anyone know if there is a claims procedure for those whose referral hasn't tracked?

Sadly, based on the image you posted, I think you've come to the same conclusion as me, there's been an issue with the unique tracking link for Three. Contacting Three Customer Services may be the only way to go.

Good luck with that! I emailed Three when the referral link for a previous order did not seem to work and never got a reply.
Phoned the main Three CS and it was like talking to a piece of wood. He didn't have clue about the referral situation and I ended up just cancelling the contract.

Took out another (this one) and followed everything by the letter and this is what happens........again.

Somethings crooked!

I wanted to say something similar. :-)

Everything is turning to 5h!7 lately.

I had an issue with the original Three SIM referral not tracking.

I currently have an issue with a Three SIM not tracking.

I'm currently trying to sort out a problem with an EE PAYG Data SIM bought from Argos (6GB -12 x 500MB) which after hours on the phone with the half-wit Argos CS and EE CS with broken English, it seems to be that the SIM card cannot be activated with the tarrif for which I bought it for (gave me 2GB as a GOGW). Now got the hassle of going back to Argos (receipt long gone) to try and sort that out.

Also currently have a substantial cashback (well over £100) not tracking which tops it all.

Never really had any problems until lately (odd problem every couple of years), but recently, issues like this seem to becoming more common (for myself at least).

Why is this expired, still valid?

Well, I've ended up cancelling two of these in as many weeks under DSR because the referrals have not registered for me for sme reason.

Just off live chat with EE Who confirm they do not match deals.

i've used the feel at home in Sri Lanka and the US, although admittedly only for calls and email etc and it was absolutely fine. my contract is up next month and may go for this and just get another sim if i go away during the next 12 months. no point in paying extra for 12 months for something i may only use for 2 weeks

I can't seem to find 3 on quidco. Is it still there?

Yeah, still there, but you have to type 'Three' and not '3'.

what about £50

Wifi calling is built into the iPhone. You don't need an app. So not the same thing. Might as well download skype, viber or whatsapp even.

Anyone got the amazon vouchers yet?

in December maybe

No you are wrong. You DO need the Three app if you want to use Three WiFi calling on an iPhone.

Those other apps are irrelevant to this conversation.

Then only EE has true wifi calling, no one's interested in downloading more useless apps to make calls.

@nnenne I'm with ee, and I'm not aware of this "WIFI calling", what is it? I literally have no idea!

Shed some light please!

I am having a nightmare with Three. Switched to them to get this deal. The coverage checker on their website said coverage was 'good' in my area. I thought it was a shame it wasn't 'very good' but never mind. Got the SIM, transferred my number over. Found I had no signal at all and Three in Touch app was next to useless. On live chat, Three then told me my area had 'limited' coverage. Different from what the website said!

Have had trouble cancelling under the 14 day cooling off period. Some of their staff said that didn't apply to me as I'm sim only, some said I would need to pay for one month before I would cancel.

The only way I've been able to cancel without paying is to agree to deactivate my sim which will take 3 days, then I'll have to wait another 2-3 to get my PAC code. So that's a week without a phone.

Awful customer service from Three.

How long after purchase did it take for your referral go to the pending stage? Thanks

Ordered mine over a month ago and still not pending as a refer a friend

My Three referral was registered pretty quickly - within 24 hours, if memory serves me right.

just signed up thanks. :smiley:

@meeeeee can you see your heart highlighted on the so called dashboard ?

is there a way to include feel at home ?

Yes, it appeared within 24 hours.

There's a countdown on their website which suggests this deal is on until Nov 10th

@meeeeee
do you remember your process of ordering? i tried and been months still nothing!

I followed the instructions in this thread. I got my referral link as I'm already a 3 customer. I then used a different Internet browser to go through Quidco and used their cashback link. When I was taken to the 3 website, I pasted in my referral link into the address bar and then bought the £9 a month deal. Within 24 hours my referral was confirmed and I have one lit up in my referral page.

Thanks Op, just rung my current provider EE, and they matched the deal, result!

Can I keep my number if I get this deal? Currently on giffgaff if it makes a difference.

Or do you think giffgaff would match this offer?

My existing contract with Three ends in just over a week. Got myself the Ultd/Ultd/4Gb deal on an advanced plan earlier for £10/mo, plus used the self-referral trick to get £50 in vouchers too. Effectively £70 for the year, bargain!

Ask giffgaff for the PAC code, they have to give it to you. Lasts 30 days

Buy the three sim, when it arrives, go on three chat and get them to port your giffgaff number to the three sim. Takes 1 working day

your upgrading right? so how did you manage to get amazon referral vouchers? if you dont mind explaining please thanks!

Hi their I rang in to 3 and they said the Amazon
voucher deal for refer a freind expired last month a bit confused how everyone is getting them if it's expired is that true?

Not exactly, as you missed out on the £30 cashback !

So is the refer a freind voucher expired or is it still available anyone tried?

​Thats fine. Ee works for me and reading this tread sounds like some coverage issues with 3 network so happy to forego the £30 for a better signal

Just caved in and ordered one for me and one for my partner :wink: Gone through quidco so we will see how it goes :smile:

"EDIT" Also applied for the amazon vouchers by registering and then using the refer a friend to get my partners three sim :wink:

Get a new contract, port your number out, port it back.

Still live? http://www.three.co.uk/refer-a-friend

We received our £25 Amazon vouchers last week for referrals at the start of September (so 2 months to payout). We haven't received the £50 vouchers from the SIM offer yet. If only I had known/thought about the cashback trick too.

how did you get the vouchers?

i have ordered over 2 months ago and still have not received anything

Sorry I meant I used the refer a friend to get my partners sim, I have not received any vouchers as of yet! It looks like it will take a few weeks for them to come if at all?

can someone screen shot a refer a friend page where you can see the progress of the voucher ? I asked three and they keep giving me a link which is the one I have to fill in the details and share that's all

This seems to be showing at £17 a month on their website for me?

that is what i also did , because it was not showing on the refer a friend page

Here goes (my first off-site image upload):

free photo hosting

If the above has worked, you will see a pink/red 'refer a friend' heart that shows I have one registered referral.

I couldn't access this page from my account this time. I had to go to the generic refer a friend page (www.three.co.uk/refer-a-friend) and enter my details again. I was informed that I'd already registered and there was an option to re-send the activation link. When them e-mail came through, I clicked on it and was presented with the page with the above image grabbed - I've removed personal details and referral links.

Three sim cards arrived today and my partner and I have both submitted our PAC's to Three (Via online chat) who say the number transfers will be completed on the 15th :wink:

All in all a good smooth process up to now :smiley: Except my partners cashback did not track so it was submitted manually on quidco, Mine tracked at £30 almost straight away.

Will let you know how we get on.

Tempted for a 2nd line, I currently have a PAYG on 3 I never use anymore but I have switched on , and a contact one on this very tariff that I use to make calls but it would be good to have the 2nd as backup such as when the battery is low on main or I need to tether (yes its not meant to be allowed but works on mine maybe as a Chinese phone)

Not sure if its the best idea.

Expired

Yeah this has expired now. Must have just missed it! Oh well

My partner and I both put our new Three sim's in today after the old giffgaff service went dead (PAC Migration) All seems great, 4G speeds are great and calls /texts are all up and running perfectly :smile:

Has this deal expired I cant find it?

Yes it has expired, I believe it was only on offer until the 11th or 12th of November.

thanks for letting me know how come its still up here
?

Got my two lots of Amazon vouchers

97 days since order,no cash back pay out yet and no vouchers

ok guys just an update i took out this deal for the 3 sim only 12 months contract on 09 Sep 16 , just got an email or logged into my quidco account to be greeted with that this cashback has been denied ?...why i ask..anyone else got that ?

Nothing yet on mine or my partners, My cashback says processing /pending (Expected May) and my partners was not tracked from the start but we put a claim in and all being well it works out :wink: Who knows...

just rang three and asked why my cashback was refused..gave the usual crap reply we dont offer cashback deals you need to raise the issue with the third party website, ie quidco..as it was them..well ive filed a non claim with quidco..see what they say..

My quidco now says its taking longer than expected,my partner and i never received any £25 amazon voucher either .

still no reply from quidco...

Have you contacted Three? I did RAF and the voucher offer in August. The RAF came through but went into Junk Mail, the other did not arrive and after contacting them they sent it thrrough.

No vouchers and it has been over three months. Who is it best to complain to?

My Quidco only paid out £30 odd, but it was showing as £50 cashback for this sim,so claim gone in to Quidco, beginning to wish i used the R.A.F. instead at least we would of got £50 direct from Three!!

My refer a friend went through fine and I received the Amazon vouchers. My purchase did not track through Quidco, so I put in a claim. Earlier this week, I've received a notification to say that my claim has been accepted by Three and I'm waiting for the merchant to pay up.

Quidco also only paid me £30.08. Had an original claim closed but now reopened...

quidco refused my £30 as they said it was refused by the merchant 3, i rang 3 up and they said to take it up with quidco as they dont use third party websites. i told them it was a reputible merchant..still they refused. looks like they blame each other, perhaps its time to put this out in the open social media, ie twitter etc...may be then they will take action.

So this thread has been up for a while now, and the deal is available again, so can we have a quick show of hands for:
1) who managed to get their refer-a-friend to go through successfully and got their £25 voucher?
2) who managed to get their £25 voucher(s) AND ALSO the £30 Quidco paid out?

I got the Amazon vouchers (2 X £25) and, after putting in a claim with Quidco, I got my £50 cashback from the offer.
