it's not technically through uSwitch as Three themselves are offering this deal on their website - I've just signed up for this exact deal myself after many years in the 4G wilderness with Virgin.

I tried the Feel at Home, and got a slap for my troubles :disappointed:

​And what's your point on a Three thread?

Cant believe idiots vote this hot...as USWITCH prettty much steal cashback ie the £25 youd get from tcb

it's not technically through uSwitch as Three themselves are offering this deal on their website - I've just signed up for this exact deal myself after many years in the 4G wilderness with Virgin.

Nuts, I didn't use Quidco - I used Topcashback instead. TCB had it as only £26.25

https://www.topcashback.co.uk/3-mobile/

I doubt they'd match it.

Is this an advanced plan?

I was on this exact same plan, I upgraded to 8gb for an extra £4 a month.

If you go through mobileshop.com it's £10 cash back through them and £50.50 TCB.

[https://www.mobileshop.com/sim-only]

Yeah Three have an app with remaining allowances displayed.

I haven't properly started using it yet - i'm porting my number over from Virgin, which will be done on Tuesday, so I'll see how it goes then. It'll be my first time using 4G so i'm hoping it'll be good.

the allowances can be checked online also, not just with the app.

yeah i know - i've set up my my3 account already but i'll wait until tuesday before downloading the app

Anytime at home allowance cheapest seems to be £16

Is there a way I can use my current 3 number on this account, and still get TCB

Got last week from the 'The HUKD Sim only thread - all of the cheapest sim only deals and free sim offers' thread
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hukd-sim-only-thread-cheapest-sim-only-deals-free-sim-offers-2481975

Was with Three on their 3-2-1 PAYG plan, all fine as a light user, but then they switched on 4G in my area so a monthly deal was more sensible. Second best result as below, indoors around half the download speed.

​Yea, download the three app from playstore

I just rung Virgin to get my PAC code and was told that I could have 4g from Monday, for £14, thats 2000mins, 5000 texts and 4gb of 4g data. Think he said his name was Pinnochio.
Still a fiver more and deal still not as good as 3. I kow that 3 haven't always had the best reputation, but I might be tempted to give it a try.

all sorts of things come "unlimted"

Damn I'm already with 3, currently paying 11£ for unlimited txt 200 min and 2 gb, would love to have 4gb and feel at home for this price :disappointed:

Just got it today and my phone's not picking up 4G at all! south west London as well so should be getting 4G

I got this deal a few weeks ago and had a terrible experience. No signal at all. Awful customer service. Made multiple calls to customer service and had multiple live chats to try and cancel during the 14 day cooling off period. Cancelling during the cooling off period was very difficult. I was left without a phone for a week while they deactivated my SIM and then I had to chase them for my PAC code, as they sent it to my deactivated number. They kept on giving me the hard sell trying to get me to pay for a month so they could give me my PAC code straight away. I had such poor service I refused to pay a penny, which meant I was left without a phone as the only way to cancel without paying was by deactivating my SIM.

Is this the offer you are referring to https://www.mobileshop.com/sim-only/three-multi-sim/sim-essential-4gb-ayce-min-12mths-promo-12/automatic-cashback
If so has this expired as it states in bold text I highlighted
"SIM Essential 4GB + AYCE Min (12mths) Promo
All-you-can-eat cross-network mins + All-you-can-eat texts + 4GB Mobile Internet Browsing + Wi-Fi on London Underground + 3 months Deezer
Date of promotion runs from 2nd September to 3rd November.
Also how do you get the £50.50 TCB please give me an idiot's guide! Thanks

I think quidco is £30 . £50 quidco will be too good to be true.can somebody please confirm tracked amount of quidco.

how are three for network coverage im in essex and my wife and kids are on tesco mobile but i dont rate it at all its quite slow.

I've gone via https://www.topcashback.co.uk/mobile_shop/
Mobile contracts 12,18,24 months
£50.50 plus Mobile shop.com gives Free Gift: £10 Guaranteed Cashback
So hopefully it's tracked by tomorrow!
Just checked tcb showing £25.25 so will have to submit a claim soon!

I'm afraid you've been a little misled. It's not a 4GB contract, it's a 1GB contract with free upgrade to 4GB. So cashback is £30 not £50.

Im in London, and i get 2-3 bars from ID Mobile who use Three, would going directly to Three change this?

even my mobile was using 'Cell Standby' or something under battery stats, which ended up using around 200mAh throughout a day, I've never seen that before with any other network, apparently it was my phone trying to boost the signal.

​

Make a claim through Topcashback for their highest cashback guarantee... That way it'll be even better than the Quidco offering....

This is the same deal I put up a month or so ago, my deal went -66, I don't understand.

​What???? I don't think that's right.

I would keep an eye out for another deal like the BT one which was 60p a month for the identical package... can't imagine why anyone would pay £9. We've had our voucher and cashback through on the BT deal. It comes up every now and then.

"Three Essential Plan 4GB for the price of 1GB 4GB data. All-you-can-eat minutes. All-You-Can-Eat texts. 12 month contract. £9.00 a month." - from the product page on the Three website. So 1GB contract with free 4GB upgrade for presumably 12months.

Topcashback is the same apparently - people thinking because it says 4GB it's a 4GB contract when it's actually only 1GB with a freebie upgrade, so cashback is at the lower rate.

Still a pretty good price at effectively £6.50 a month. I'm tempted.

Mine has tracked at the lower rate, and you are correct, 1GB, plus 3 fpr free. Still a good deal. I have jumped from Giff Gaff to this and porting my number.

They are right, this has been posted before and went sky high, but the cash back was always at the lower level.

Don't forget the refer a friend trick, you can refer yourself with a different email and both get vouchers. Have a goodie for it, think its £50 in total.

Damn, i just got Huawei Honor 8 for £22pm with 4gb per month. I feel stupid now. Hot deal!

Just want to clarify on where you said. I just upgraded my £7 a month plan which had 600mins, AYCE texts and 1gb data.
The guy at the other end said the allowance will stay the same even after the 12 months.

Got this deal earlier today, quidco tracked at £30 which is correct

Anyone manage to do both Amazon refer a friend and quidco together ?

I tried the Feel at Home, and got a slap for my troubles :disappointed:

Doh

would have done it but it doesn't have feel at home

i was on Three and moved to iD which definitely has weaker reception compared to Three. im in london canary wharf.

Ideal for those that can rely on the reception quality of three. (cliche now)

I always find Three service really good and so much better than the dreaded manure that is Vodafone. 4g is really good too! Hope it works when I switch to a Xiaomi phone...

You are not paying for 4GB contract, your's one is 1GB with free upgrade to 4GB so quidco will be £30

direct from Three deal
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/3-sim-4gb-data-unltd-mins-unltd-texts-9p-m-108-term-possible-quidco-2505078

I get this and feel at hone for £9. I am a light user, so pretty easy for them to offer it in April.

Just for record used in Australia and the Data was excellent on Vodafone via Three at home

just went for Honor 8 4gb at £23 and quidco tracked £100.83

That's cool, if I buy I would probably want to be looking to move at the end of 12 months for another good deal, but if data allowance dropped to 1GB, at the same time, it would add unwanted pressure.

I got it direct from three been this price for months now
Quidco tracked at 30

​What happens after 12.30? -they call it lunch

​The terms of Quidco says 30 for 1gb package and 50 for 4gb package
The catch is this contract is 1gb with extra 3gb data so still classed as 1gb package. Mine tracked at 30.10 or something was promised to pay in December

Is it possible to upgrade this package of feel at home at later on?

I am existing Three customer and just got the same deal but with Feel at Home for £10 a month going through live chat, told advisor I knew they were offering it and if I couldn't have it I would give notice, so it was a retention deal. I have two other deals coming to an end (for my son's phone and iPad) he confirmed if at the end of the 12 months I don't cancel or change them they will continue at the same rate.

Any info on how you could add feel at home after?

I'm up for renewal soon, has anyone, already a Three customer, had any sort of recent audacious deal out of them? Currently only paying £12 a month for 4GB, unlimited text and minutes but it would be good to get a saving out of them :smirk:

It's a sim only contract - a phone contract (as the name suggests) includes a phone :wink:

​That's exactly what I want, will try to get the same

Ah, no Feel at Home. Do good deals ever come up with that included? Seems to always be Essential plans.

Wife and I are paying £9 for unlimited call and text with 4GB and feel at home with tethering 8GB available for £12 if you get the right person.[/quote] Is above On a year contract ? Im on the sim monthly as I wait for note 8... £9.00 . Due an upgrade after 4 years. They have offered me above what you have sim only on a year contract without the feel at home tethering ..Have refused till I think about it . I know they dont want to loose me , so worth a shot ? thanks

Had Talktalk tell me I was out of contract no penalty or charge then was sent a bill for £180 was stuck for hours before they actually cancelled with no penalty. Virgin haven't refunded me money. Or cancelled my contract as stated either. I was in a 2 year battle with EE over no service until finally they let me out of the contract but were so damn rude. Vodafone have been stealing people's money all over the country. My point is, they all suck and you have to fight every single one of them on things that should be oh so simple. Only spoke with one person from three so far and they spoke English so that was a plus.

So how long does the increase from 1gb to 4gb last ? Is it duration of contract or 12 months

This is why I stick with Life Mobile. Like Virgin, so 3G on EE's network, but UK call centres and always very responsive on Twitter.

we got 2 of these 2 months ago with quidco & refer a friend, switched from Tesco, fab deal. good service so far.

Yeah, I quite liked virgin for a long time and was always recommending them until I was told about a deal that didn't exist and to call them back for it. I called back and they were trying to sell me 'special deals' because I am a 'loyal customer' but the deals were all online for anyone to get except the good fake deal I was told about to call for. Didn't like the tactics, three is cheaper and works so far also has 4G sometimes. Haven't tried life but maybe I will in future.

EE will price match this deal if you are out of contract with them.

Same deal available on EE if you're out of contract, ultd mins, ultd txt, 4gb data, £8.99, 12 month. With added bonus that you can upgrade anytime without buying out of the SIM only contract.

CS can be patchy though still better than my experience with other networks.

Same here, signed up yesterday using a friends referral link for £25 Amazon voucher each.

It's likely that was when the cold voting trolls were rampant on this site. It's gone better now,

What happens after the 12 months if you take no action? I guess it may go onto a rolling contract but I just wondered how much this might be?

Just had a chat session and was able to seitch from my 200 mins unlimited text and 2gb data for 11£ to unlimited text and calls with 4gb with feel at home for 10£ :smiley:

Except if people went to the directly to Three on their website.

Try complaining on the Twitter accounts, from personal past experience seems to be more effective with these companies than calling them

I can upgrade online from the 9th of December - will it still be available then?

Good deal. I'm with BT, and hate seeing cheaper deals. However - It's only £7 more expensive, and I do get an extra 16gb of data.

Voted hot.

​I could upgrade from the end of this month but they still offered me a deal via live chat

I have two separate deals I took out last year which end in December, I checked with customer advisor and they said will carry on at same rate unless I cancel or change it.

​​​So it carries on at the £9 for 4GB + unlimited texts & calls?

​​​So it carries on at the £9 for 4GB + unlimited texts & calls?

folks, think question has been asked before but has anyone and how did they do it, go through quidco and get the refer friend amazon vouchers as well?

It's not guaranteed at moment, no one who has done both has had quidco tracked and you need to wait till after 2 weeks to know if the amazon refer a friend has worked. (so I've read).

I did quidco only and tracked just after an hour

I phoned three sales just there - according to them it's not possible. They suggest you could upgrade to the "Advanced" plan mid way through (which does include feel at home), though that would last for the duration of the contract.

I'd change the title to "Three" as they are very clearly promoting this deal themselves on their website. No need for uswitch.

Thanks for posting this deal - I've been meaning to call Three for changing my expired plan. I'm now on this deal after being on my lapsed 1GB deal for a few years...

Trying to get this deal for the Mrs. She's currently paying £20 sim only 200 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited data with feel at home. Tried on chat but they wouldn't budge for the £10 deal which some say they got which included feel at home.

Tried again, got back to someone else who has done it for £10

So they've put your Mrs on this deal including feel at home? I might abuse them to get on it then

Yep which also includes tethering. You need to ask them to for the £9 plan but upgraded to Advanced not Essential. That's the hardest part getting them to move you to the advanced plan

Took minutes via the live chat through the Three App. I was paying £9.90 a month for 1gb, 300 minutes and texts and this is a way better deal for less!

I'm already with 3 paying £15 a month for unlimited data, texts and 200 minutes, is there any way to keep my SIM and change to this deal? If I can't do this, how do I keep my number?

I signed up to this deal yesterday direct on the Three website and saw a banner saying the 4GB for the price of 1GB thing is ending in 4 days

Signed up using the refer friend scheme too. £50 voucher makes it a great deal.

I'm not sure of your point, are you saying this deal the one we are posting on can be had for less than 60p per month?

cold. i got 15gb with ee retentions for 15£. much better value.

Doh

Anyone able to confirm:
So on my current talktalk contract I've effectively got to pay up until the 25th of this month, so really I don't want to start this three deal until nearer that date... Is it possible to order this, then not 'activate it' until later this month and then I can start the new SIM cycle then?

Or does the new 3 SIM start immediately?

​And what's your point on a Three thread?

​Starts as soon as they get your monies

Doh

"A Voucher will be sent by email to each of you and your Friend within 3 months of their first bill being paid in full and on time of the Qualifying Purchase."

The £9 pm includes the £5 discount. If you don't set up a DD it would be £14 pm.

i was the same as you just ring them and they will change your plan no extra cost

​That's what I did, they did charge me 8£ as early upgrade fee (my contract would have ended the 28 of December) tho but oh well, it wasn't about money anyway.

Doh! My bad

I got this instore when I went to visit. I did note that it was one of their Essential Tariffs, meaning you can't use it abroad. Not bad if you're not going to one of the 42 countries you can use their non-essential tariffs in, but worth noting nonetheless.

i can only order a standard sim any1 no how to get this deal with a micro sim thanks

Its been noted that you can get the abroad countries if you go via live chat and haggle with them. Got this for the mrs but paid an extra £1 for the feel at home countries

Three still have a very bad reputation, and from my point of view they're interested in new customers than keeping them with a deal, that they can't match to EE for starters. Imho they're like Vodafone but hell, they've become worse than them now.

Did you have to pay the early upgrade fee?

​Yes, 8£

Same deal as mine and I get cold

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/three-4gb-9pm-12m-contract-unlimited-mind-texts-2529472

Yes, but if only your name had been dealerxxxx, rather than dealerxxx, it could have been all so dfferent :-)

Has anyone had success with this (£9/month with Feel at Home)? So far so bad for me

Has anyone got the deal thru topcashback with mobile shop where the cash back is £50.50 plus £10 .cheers

I had to try 2 different live chat agents before I managed to get them to agree to do it for £10 in total

Thanks slliw. Were/are you a new or existing customer? I'm new and haven't managed in 2 live chats

I did it on behalf of my other half, she was an existing customer but out of contract

Cheers. For new customers it seems there's no chance unfortunately. If anyone manages, feel free to let me know (/gloat!)

Lol

Thanks just got this deal through Quidco hopefully it will track :smiley:

Should of got a free Three sim card from there website before you took the contract out.
Lots of people like you don't check to see if they can get a signal from the provider before taking out a contract then moan after about not getting signal we see it on here all the time.

Your talking rubbish Vodafone and GiffGafff are the worst providers Three are really good now if you can get a good signal where you live they are the best signal where i live in Essex in a little town.

There is little point in this kind of discussion, its all very subjective. Some places have good signals, some poor. If you are getting a sim, choosing one which is good at home isn't necessarily a good one in other areas. Customer service, well that depends who you talk to, what day it is, and the mood they, and you are in. You take your pick and live with it until renewal time.

just looking for a new deal and tempted by this - can anyone shed a light/link to the refer a friend using a second email thing? link at the start doesn't help.

I'm obliged...

I'd like to know this as well, deal for 4GB data runs out in a couple of days.

Now try travelling, it'll be the worse network ever. Three haven't seen Wi-Fi as well in their time. Their mobile app needs their ropey signal to work. Ropey apart from any area with built up houses and areas. Just making it clear of their network. Anyway if you like the company, fine.

How's the 4g with 3? I'm on giffgaff, a daily commuter and the 4g is poor. Connection is generally there except the speed is so slow at times.

Just to update, quite a few existing customers (@slliw @Jijin2 @lisaenglish71 @El Franko) mentioned they got on the unlimited minutes+texts+4GB Advanced (ie includes Feel at Home & Tethering) plan for £10/month for 12 months (extra kudos to @damadgerk & @bigbak who got it for £9/month. I tried my best several times via online chat to get the Advanced deal as a new customer and it seemed impossible...

BUT there's a workaround :smile: !! I'll post as a separate deal as it's hard to follow in these comments, but if anyone subscribed to this thread wants to check out what to do I'll put the link here when it's up.

P.S. @iamryan I find that softly softly catchee monkey works better than abuse (though as @philipgregson58 quite rightly says it totally 'depends who you talk to, what day it is, and the mood they, and you are in' :wink:

Here's the link for the £10 per month ADVANCED plan workaround for new customers: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/three-sim-only-12-month-advanced-plan-4gb-4g-data-unlimited-minutes-unlimited-texts-2543516

I rang in and they said the Amazon voucher codes for refer a freind have expired last month is that correct?

Did you go for this via mobileshop.com, if so did your topcashback track at £50 or lower? Thanks
