As others have stated, the first person you talk to can only offer certain deals. When you're put through to the cancellation department that's when they get interesting. I mentioned I was going through top cash back and they divided the amount I said I'd receive and took it off the monthly cost.

I was getting the same 4GB for £9 and in retentions I changed it to 30GB for £13 with a little haggling. Feel at home included and tethering.

what is the reception like with 3?

This comes just in time to remind me that my contract is up soon. :thumbsup:
Been with Three for 10 yrs since 2008. Currently on the SIMO Essential 4GB for £9.
Hope I can get it down to £7, thereby saving me £24 next year :party:

I don't get the 3 haters, I've been with them well over a decade. Have EE for work and was 02, neither are anywhere near as good for data or calls.. Always been good abroad too...
Oh and before someone says it must be my area I work nationally.

Good deal, but completely sh1t coverage in Europe. Just back from France and will be switching to EE.

I went the other way, reducing the £9.00 to £7.00, rolling contract staying at 4GB.

Okay I called again today to cancel my current contract (£12pm for unltd mins/txt and 4gb data). The agent told the same crap as the last one about how I am a valuable customer and he will offer me a very good deal blah blah. Anyway he told me I could get the same package but pay £10pm. So I asked him how does that make me feel like a valuable customer if you are offering this deal to new customers as well. So he then offered me the same package but £9pm. I then told him how I have a friend (made up) on Three and she got a recent deal (the same deal as this hotukd post) and she has been with three for a much lessee time than I have. After telling him this, he gave me the same offer!!


Anyway for those struggling, I suggest you try tell them about this deal. They definitely can give you better deals. If you have no luck. Just call again hoping it will be another agent. If no success still, then try get the PAC code. Think cancellation team will offer the deal there.

I got 600 min with 12GB £11 :grin: £5 18GB add on gives me 30GB for £16 when extra data needed :wink: worth asking for less minutes if you don't need unlimited - 600m plans are old discontinued plans (2 available currently - 1GB Essential £9 12m & £13 1m) but still available from customer services :smile:

Don't forget cashback: topcashback.co.uk/3-m…le/

just managed to get the same deal as above!! persistence pays off!! Thanks for sharing

I recently spoke to their retention team and, despite describing their new customers offer, the best they came up with was £14 - needless to say, I'm off!

Thanks! Gonna try this later

Just called them, been with them 7 years and only offered me £12 with 8gb

Great deal, just got this on the phone. No hassles what so ever, just offered it straight away.

Nice one OP have some heat :sunglasses:

I rang them and they said i could have it for £12 and the women kept on and on in the end i said No put me to to cancel and get my Pac code.
The person i spoke to next asked why i was leaving and i said because i want a better deal he then said you can keep what you have plus 8GB instead of 4GB for £10 you just have to perceive.

I've used 3 in Germany and Holland, never had a problem. Even though it's 3G only I was always able to stream YouTube perfectly fine. Coverage was pretty much perfect in both countries.

Considering jumping from ee to 3...

How can I find the quality of signal in my area??

I too got this deal earlier this month to stay.

ultd texts & calls + 8gb is the benchmark to beat for sim only @ £10.

Got offered this straight away after calling retentions for the two SIMO deals i have on the £9 4tb deal that expired on the 14th.

Definately worth trying again as it seems pot luck

Nice deal, heat added

I haven't had too many problems with the internet in this country, but when we were in Portugal, I could hardly access the internet and when I did manage to, it was so slow. My children took their phones and they are on EE. They were on the internet a lot, even sitting in the same room as myself, and they had no issues at all connecting to the internet.

I just tried calling them to get this same deal but they don't seem to budge...any tips?? :unamused:

Good deal but it's a shame they have no 2g to fall back on. Plenty of dead zones around still when it comes to 3g, nevermind 4g.

As another option nobody has mentioned: having (or buying) a dual-sim phone then using one sim for calls and texts and the other sim for data can work out cheaper/faster still. For instance:

1) Continuing to use "feel at home" when abroad but buying a local data-only package if you need faster data temporarily.
2) Using a PAYG data sim at home if your data usage is inconsistent or you need a much higher data package than calls/texts package.

Just got of the phone with them confirm this is the essential plan so no hot spots and you can only use your allowance inside the EU. I still went with it because I've never done either of those things.
He initially offered it for 12 but I persevered and got him down to £10, thanks again for sharing.

Thanks Op! I got this deal when my contract ended a few weeks ago.

I quoted the BT offers and Amazon / Quidco cashback incentives and was offered this deal immediately.

Much better than messing with unreliable cashback incentives so I went for it.

Various comments made on coverage and usability abroad. I can only speak for USA and EU but assume similar for everywhere (depending on any specific local arrangements) having been a Three user for several years.

One BIG bonus with Three outside the EU is the Feel at Home (same charges as when in UK) for various countries other than EU including USA.

USA - slow and patchy coverage away from towns but this is the US phone network. 3G and Edge connection and often seems like 2G for data. IT DOES WORK however and is OK for keeping in touch (email and news headlines) when on holiday but useless for much else.

EU (particularly France so I ASSUME everywhere else the same) - phone usage fine but DATA speeds too slow to stream or anything. Static web sites (BBC / Facebook etc.) load reasonably but anything with films or streaming just forget it.

Also, if foreign use is important you MUST read / understand the Three rules about Feel at Home / roaming. No tethering, no VPN, no streaming because they say this is to provide a 'fair' usage to everyone. Other UK providers have made better deals with foreign operators to allow 4G roaming (and streaming and tethering) but Three will only connect on 3G / HSPA at best.

UK coverage and speeds are variable as with other networks - just depends where you are and if there is a mast nearby.

If foreign usage including streaming data is important then look elsewhere.

The family had 3 payg sims with 3, every time I rang to see what deals they had for simo they only offered what's on their website. Didn't seem bothered about retaining us as a customer. I rang back to speak to different customer service agents but they were all indifferent. We are now with BT. Good luck getting someone to match the deal.

3 is a good network as if never had any problems with it... and if been with them over a year
I manged to get
Unlimited data
Unlimited text
Unlimited minutes
30GB tethering of hotspot

All for £19 SIM only rolling contract :-)

60 months contract ?

can get 12gb data for £8 per month instead with £72 cashback on mobilephonesdirect.

Strange. My exp with three retention team was poor last week. He offered me 8gb with unltd mins and txt for £12. I didn't accept as yet. I will give them a call and see if they can offer me any better.

It's actually pretty good. I was on EE before who trumpeted their "signal is best" etc. It's been as good if not better than EE. YMMV in your area though...

I got offered this about 2 weeks ago.

Are these deal on Advance plan ?

i did this last year with same package but got AYCE data + 200mins for £7/m. Hoping to upgrade this year to get more minutes

But this deal is wayyy better

Thanks I'm on same and just gone over my year so will try this tomorrow

No problem i like to help in any wayy ii can . Im absoultley delighted with this myself

Thanks for taking the time to post, I'll try and call them tomorrow, I'd be well chuffed with this.
