So I have been looking for a sim only deal and this one seems decent.
So the £16 deal is for "existing customers" however I am only with three pay as you go, yet it still shows me this deal. So anyone could pop to their local news agents and buy a £1 three sim, register and get this deal.
Otherwise it is £18 for new customers.
Great thing about this deal is that all 30gb can be tethered! sure that will keep some of you happy!
UPDATE: Hotukdeals member jaypr reporting that he got the £18 deal without the £2 off, but through topcashback, taking this deal down to about £12 quid, also worth considering if you like using cashback sites.

How are they a nightmare? You have a 12 month contract, if you want to leave after 12 month you hand in your notice. Simples!

I have been with Three since September last year and have encountered no issues whatsoever. They called me last month to amend my package as I very rarely use minutes. They offered me Unlimited Data; Unlimited Texts; 200 mins plus 30gb tethering for just £14 p/m. An absolute steal.
Great deal and heat added.

Careful with this offer - it's for 'additional plans' for existing customers. Having just resigned for an £18pcm (same offer, £2 more) deal, I called them to ask why it was now £16. They said it was for additional SIMs only and not for renewal of contract.

The canx team offered 15 for 200 mins and 30gb of data after 18. So glad I joined that 14.50 Ee deal three months ago. I got my pac. Will report back if they ring me with a better offer. I want unlimited data with a 30 tether on a 30 rolling to stay for 15 to stay

Thanks leedsfan83. Just ordered 2 for hubby and I. Got them at £16 as used the additional line trick.
Was out of contract with Vodafone, who couldn't offer anything like it for the money.
Thanks

This offer is for new contracts in addition to the one you already have not to replace your current one. If that's what you're looking to do I'd go through to cancellations and request your PAC code. They'll offer you something similar I'd imagine, but you'd have to go through to the cancellations team to get the best offer.

thanks. how does it work as an existing customer and buying the contract on their website? does my current number cease to work immediately? or does the two contract overlaps for the first month?

Yep my first bill £18+ to do with a few days added on then looks like its going to be £16 pm so no complaints yet
jaypr
10 May 17#77
Mine is the same. I assuming it's something to do with the first bill being a little more. Something to do with being charged for the full month plus nine days. I assume it'll level out after that.

Indeed these mobile players nowadays wait until the mast is massively contended in city areas before upping capacity it's called greed and it's not nice the same greed that's playing out the delay to lte-a arriving at my mast

In manchester city centre, it's a pain to use data from 3, from 12am to 12pm. Problems I'm having: extremely slow speed 30-60k, frequent disconnection, stupid high ping (1s to manchester server) from time to time. I can only web browsing during *controlled* period, cant make voice call, play online game or even video streaming.
the options for good online experience: escape from 3 or home :smile:

Depends where you live I've got a 4g mast pointing at 6000 potential customers in a little town in middle of nowhere and I get 30gb on both EE and three but if you can wait for our 14.50 EE friend that is better as it's a rolling. I can't wait for the entertainment from three on 15 may all I will take is unlimited with a 30 tether on a rolling 30

So i plugged in my new sim card... waiting for my number to be ported over from my pay as you go... Just logged into the three app and noticed something strange:
34.9GB of data, 699 minutes and 2329 three to three minutes...
was expecting to see: 30GB of data, 600 minutes and 2000 three to three minutes... anyone else notice the same on their new sim?

Logon to TopCashback, click through to three. Login to you three account scroll down and under the Upgrades & offers heading there's a sub headeing which says Exclusive offers, click that to get the £16 offer. I just tried it and it's still there.

hello there, how do i get to this 16 quids deal via TCB website? i can see this deal on my three mobile app, but surely if i click via TCB, it brings me to 18 quids and not 16?

I'm an existing customer, 3 refused to switch my current contract to the £16 deal but got the £18. Has anyone actually got existing contract switched for £16 as opposed to buying additional contract for £16

It seems to work if you are going from PAYG to contract, if you are already in a contract then it looks like £18
I tried it with a friends PAYG SIM and he was offered £16.

Try calling 333, option 5 for sales? that's who i spoke to when enquiring about the deal yesterday and today when i got signed up. Only thing i can suggest.

TopCashback doesn't specify new or existing customers. States 12-month contract sim plans with 8gb or more data. I'm an existing customer and it has tracked for me.
leedsfan83
6 May 17#51
I really like three, their customer service has gotten loads better over the years, reliable service and the fact they are rolling out their new 800mhz band, well thats an awesome bonus!

jaypr
6 May 17#44
£16 is a bargain, but £12 after cashback is a much better bargain. That said if it didn't track or doesn't pay out I won't throw my toys out the pram and go nuts about out.
leedsfan83
6 May 17#43
Personally i cant be arsed with cashback, will it track, wont it track? Glad it worked for you though. Myself i am happy as can be with this deal for £16 quid. Its still a bargain

6 May 17#42
I spoke to different bloke yesterday who also offered the same deal, so this is not a one off.

Ordered this deal on the 1st of May and received my sim in the 3rd. Went through TopCashback hoping it might track and got confirmation this morning that it has at £47.25
leedsfan83
6 May 17#40
UPDATE: just spoken to three, and got this deal for £16 quid, and as i am an existing customer he happily gave me an extra 2000 three to three minutes.
Also, he told me something quite interesting.. Three are rolling out their new 800mhz band meaning indoor coverage is going to be getting much better! Nice!
So they sending out my new sim, should be here on Tuesday, then all i have to do is call them back, and they will transfer my current number over to the new sim card.
Happy days!

just has a thought I have two numbers and I could cancel my contract and use my wifes number to get this £16 deal but heres the question. is there a way once I cancel my contract to transfer my number to the new contract
bobzuruncle to meridiusuk
6 May 17#39
You could transfer your number to PAYG sim with another provider then transfer it back to 3?
awesomemonkeyuk
6 May 17#38
I did. I tried my best to get them to budge, but I was repeatedly told this offer was for additional contracts... Did you blag it?
stethorn
5 May 17#12
That simple If you don't need a PAC, they had a full scale argument with me about why I should stay with them ( Indian call centre) eventually after about an hour being passed to differnt people I got it. Then I got final bill saying I was in credit , then 6 weeks later another final bill for £38 saying it was for my final month ( they said they don't bill in advance)
viniteng to stethorn
6 May 17#37
Not sure if there was a need to mention 'Indian call center'.
meridiusuk
6 May 17#35
been on he phone they said even if I use the three app to get this deal it will not work as its for an extra new contract ?
is this true as I have two deals but says nothing about extra contract on the plans. just don't know what to do here
Voting cold due to the dependability of the network. I was with three for quite number of years after getting their offers but later realised that if you switch outside you will get good packages with dependable network. 3's coverage is very bad across the country. I moved to vodaphone rated as the worst provider but found better package , high data speed and more coverage than the three network. Much better sim only packages available now.. so voting cold.

6 May 17#33
Found it but it is only for an additional SIM, tried calling and was told that as well.
Still at £18/month still suits me as my home broadband is 2M and with three on 4G it is 40M :smile:

I spent hours over a two day period trying to get £16 instead of £18 they would have none of it nor could I get the £19 offer.

less than 1mb download bandwidth between 12am-12pm, in my area. Not a good idea for a broadband substitution.

leedsfan83 to NomiKaay
5 May 17#8
Good if you use more than 30gb on your phone I guess... but not being able to tether all that data?? meh! I am sure for most people, being able to tether full allowance would be much more useful.
For me personally being able to use 30GB via tethering is a great back up should my home internet ever die!
