Its been 7 months since I posted this deal and most people don't even know about it or think it's expired but It's still running, get a free data rewards sim card of Three with the FREE 200mb of data each month and NEVER requiring a top up..
These are ideal if you are travelling to one of there feel at home countries or are a low data user here in the uk.
I now have 5 of these and therefore get 1GB of data each month totally free they are still working after seven months and I have not topped up a single pound!
I don't know why the Hot UK Deals link is not working but here is the direct address below

Sorted and a little tip for people you need to top these sims up according to my conversation with 3 ,but if you hold your ground and just keep saying I thought you don’t need to top up they will top it up for you to get you started with 1gb data which lasts until september this year try it

Every time I insert the sim it says sorry we had a problem try later when I try to register the free sim it asks me to top up

another tip: if your one of those people on Sky Broadband that blocks proxy servers, to get a torrent metafile switch to this download the metafile then switch back to Sky to download the torrent. They can restrict access to the metafile but they cant stop you using it.

Used this for a week in the Netherlands last year with Waze/Google Maps, emails etc. Lasted the whole week and didn't cost a penny. Be warned though, Three's own staff are pretty clueless if you ask whether this SIM reverts to a 3-2-1 PAYG if you run out of the 200MB (i.e. 1p a MB). It definitely does, but they told me it shouldn't.

How can it revert to 1p per MB as I have never given them any card details when activating my card? currently on 240mb used in 4 days as my sky bb is broken.
mb1 to chocci
23 Jul 17#80
If you have any credit on it, it then uses that when the free data runs out.

I have never worked out how to put any credit on it as I have no login details or even a telephone number with my 200mb sim in my tablet
Now used 330mb over the last 5 days

Sweeeeeet!, thanx for all those valid inputs. :-)
Wish I'd known of allllll such 200MB free a month, for life Network 3 SIM's well into last year like + beyond, etc?, like all you lot, hehehe, could have helped bail me out of a few pickles at the time ... (like 2 nights back, one of those same SIM's temporarily bailed me out when I'd knackered all my proper SIM Data Plan, and the 200MB SIM I carry on standby proved magic for me at that moment in time). :-)

27 May 17#70
I'm the OP and I have 5 of these all over 7 months old and all still working fine without ever spending a single penny on them, I believe as long as you're actually using them to connect to the internet this is keeping them alive.

amour3k
25 May 17#67
Again, your BOTH correct, hehehe.
I'm sure both of you have both received texts and/or phone calls via your respective Network 3 SIM Cards right?, that, in case your not aware already, was a 'chargeable event' (not to you perhaps?, as the 'sender' paid for their relevant 'events' on your behalf), hence for the last 18+ months you didn't need to pay diddilly for anything? (someone did, just not you ... )
As for the other commenter, learn from the either of our comments. :-)
amour3k
25 May 17#66
Your BOTH right!.
Those that have already ordered this freebie 200MB 321 SIM from Three will still get their 200MB per Month freebie, hehehe.
But those that currently have NOT ordered one/any already again, won't ...
Yep!. :-)

I guess that's why I haven't posted it as a deal! To be fair I have had my fair few problems with them, however they have always been nice on the phone and have refunded me several times. My current issue is I put a data warning on and it got to within 10% of allowance and the phone stopped working, the cure after many phone calls was to top it up. Meh, it's free what do I expect?
Rimi
24 May 17#64
No, thats different story. Free 200MB monthly on Data Reward SIM stays on.
Freedom Pop is crap. Call quality is very poor, account gets suspended without reason, when calling local number, getting message you are Out of international minutes....too many problems. Had them,tried them and FP SIM binned.
aLV426
24 May 17#61
Freedompop has a 200Mb data allowance (which can be increased with offers & invites), reset each month and it allows "calls" - it uses a special app that connects via the data stream rather than the telephone network. I paid a £1 and have never topped up - they are offering them free now... I'll order one of these 3 SIMs and see how it compares... Thanks OP!

23 May 17#60
Nobody lasts forever. But as for now, just use it and enjoy, no time for complaining.

22 May 17#57
Look mate, I have same SIM 9 months now and never ever have topped up; 200MB refreshes each month.
[email protected]
22 May 17#56
As I said they only last 1 month unless you top read the small print. It's called a reward obviously for buying a add on or top up
Use your data abroad at no extra cost.
Roaming charges suck. Register to receive 200MB free data each month and use it to get online abroad at no extra cost in our 60 Feel At Home destinations. When you’ve used your 200MB free data (which lasts up to a month), just buy one of our great value data Add-ons to continue fully enjoying Feel At Home.

22 May 17#55
Thats a good point, I expect Three to turn off the 321 rates for uk calling when these had enough freeloaders then theyll wall garden the deal so make sure you have a few dozen beforehand so you can be grandfathered into the deal Thats the point when you start toppinf them up. Eventually theyll bye Bye the deal completely with 'the letter' ala oneplan

21 May 17#53
This is good for low users combined with the 321 plan. Has it in my sons phone for over a year, he only uses it if he goes to his friends and free iMessages and I can track where is and it's perfect. When he starts senior school that will all change but gave a few months before that happens so free Mb is perfect.
Rimi
21 May 17#52
All is true , all is good, except: data abroad is VERY VERY SLOW. Tested in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland,Lithuania, Spain, Portugal. Average speed 217kbps. Takes ages even to check e-mail.

I think it works better when you're connected to mobile data. It wouldn't work for me with WiFi only, I had to have both WiFi and mobile turned on for it to register of on Wuntu.

If you are using mobile wifi you can check your balance by logging in (type in something like 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser although it differs from device to device). From there you can access all your wifi settings, read texts and check your data balance. If you need to know your default password please feel free to give me a shout.

My daughter's ipad has a sim slot on it.
(Bought it a few years ago when the offer was posted on hotukdeals - 64gb ipad mini for 299. Didn't need the sim slot, but the offer was too good to avoid)
I put one of these in her ipad. If the ipad was stolen / lost, you can use the sim for your ipad to be located via findmyiphone.
(You can also top the sim up, so if the 200mb allocation for this month has been used up, top up pounds to get the sim working)

I have a few of these just had a week in canarys and the one i topped up with £2 worked perfectly.The ones with no top up wouldn't work but worked fine when home in uk.Can also say if topped up they are just like a payg 123 sim with 200mb free every month, After the 200mb is used it will take money off the credit,If you don't use the credit it never runs out and the 200mb renews every month. Register the sim with Three and then you can check mb's left and credit.

20 May 17#37
I've had a couple of these SIMs for a while and you don't need to top up at all to use the free data. You only need to make sure they are used at least once every 6 months to keep the SIM working (And the data use counts for that purposes too ). Best thing of it all is that works abroad.
illy1965
20 May 17#38
How do you get to use it abroad when I was in Bucharest a few weeks ago I couldn't get the data working, as soon as I was back in the UK it was working fine
pengwyn
20 May 17#35
Just a tip you can use these without topping up. Just get mobiwol and VPN firewall the data to just messenger and csipsimple and your covered by 200 minutes of free data calling

I have been using a couple of these in the kids phones, they were better than buying iPod Touch devices, and with 200mb of data they can use it while we are all out and about. They loved it last year as they could go Pokemon hunting in Spain or FaceTime their friends in the UK and it didn't cost me a penny, or cent!
grillnun
20 May 17#33
set this up last night and the allowance left page on the website doesn't say how much data I have it just says what credit I have I.e. £5 is this right or should I see remaining data as well?
nigelbutler
20 May 17#31
As others have said you can get one or some - has to be the free data sim - then top up £2 minimum - its says for international calls but you can use it for 2p texts and 3p calls - someone like my dad uses minimal data just for football scores and whatsapp and occassional calls- £2 lasts a long time!
possibly £2 could last him several months and of course 200mb can be converted into whatsapp phone calls

Use it with the tesco international calling app for free calls to landlines and 1p minute to mobiles oh and free texts.

19 May 17#12
I think that you do need to, on the safe side I do a chargeable event every 180 days. Send a text or make a call. Note that with this Data Reward sim you cannot buy £10, £20 Bundles which are available to standard Three PAYG sim (calls, text and data). You buy money's worth of data but the cheapest amount to buy is £2 for international data (£2 can infact be used to make calls and text).

Yes It can be used in a tablet or mifi device and also in a phone that is dual sim. Anyone can order one and as I said in my description they automatically renew every month from the date you activate it so if you activate it today you'll get your free 200mb and another 200mb on the 19th June, July etc. I have 5 sims all activated on different days so when one runs out I simply use another and the following month they all refresh.
