Just ordered this for my sister who will be going back to Uni in September. Not sure how strict the validation on the student email address is - it seems to accept anything.

More data than I could find anywhere else for the price, hopefully it helps someone out.

I moved to 3 from talktalk (vodafone), got a good deal but 3s signal coverage is awful, no signal in places I had H+ with talktalk. Will be moving asap.

Did you check area coverage before moving to Three? I get great signal in my area fine

People make assumptions, it's terrible all the networks own shops won't give a free payg sim out unless you top up... how are you meant to test coverage to then contract yourself to them ? If you need to move asap then waiting on a free sim from a website/phone order is a joke...

That's why they have cooling off periods...

seaniboy to GiorgioDelGrosso

Cooling off periods for handsets more like, which is no bad thing with the 'beta' standard of software on phones these days

TalkTalk is O2 :raised_hand:

??? I have a .ac.uk e-mail but it's telling me it's not valid.

Maybe they have a ist of approved & accredited list of educational establishments, not some wishy-washy online non-accredited ones. You know what I mean. :wink:

tamaru to veedubjai

8 Sep 17 #19

No, I don't know what you mean. I go to a real university.

veedubjai to tamaru

8 Sep 17 #21

You typed it or copy & paste your email address? Could be something wrong with the site.

LOL. one of the the rare occassions i can benefit from my degree being from a so-called 'prestigious' university

You should be able to get it in-store with your student card

rapid111111 to tamaru

Doing the same

rabinca to tamaru

maybe their system only expects one dot at the .ac.uk‌ :unamused:

My Son has been trying to get this online with his .ac.uk uni email address and it's not accepting it.

Well I'm in Somerset too and never had an issue with 3 in the last 9 years. My friends on EE cannot say the same.

electriclinux

8 Sep 17 #39

I am considering this but based on my experience 3 hasn't had the best coverage near me.

damadgeruk to electriclinux

9 Sep 17 #47

Maybe if you give your address your comment might be useful to a handful of people, otherwise we know mobile phone coverage is variable.
Please, just stop.

electriclinux to damadgeruk

9 Sep 17 #48

Ok it was bad in Belfast (apart from near Queen's University) and in Somerset I regurally get bad data signal at the same time people I know on EE and other networks have good reception.

Looks like a decent offer this. :-)

Is Three peed off with someone with all these great offers recently

neversay

I moved to Three a year ago and have had awful reception at home and on my travels (plus causing battery drain). Now a move back to O2 or Vodafone is on the cards.

Wadda to neversay

Do you have wifi calling?

CampGareth to neversay

8 Sep 17 #8

That happens with any mobile network because there about a billion variables involved in how strong your phone signal is. Unfortunately that makes anecdotal evidence pretty useless.

HHUKD to neversay

8 Sep 17 #42

Well if you are in a low signal area for any mobile network your phone will ramp up the power to connect. This is why your battery is draining faster.

As someone else has mentioned already, did you switch on wifi calling on your phone? Three supports this and would cure your problem if you have wifi at home.

Anyone know if it's possible to move to this plan if you're an existing Three customer?

Thanks

GS_Dan to Hustler1337

8 Sep 17 #25

The website says you can as long as you're past your minimum term. I'm going to go in store and get myself on it.

GS_Dan to GS_Dan

8 Sep 17 #36

So I've just been to the shop and they couldn't work out how to upgrade me. Might be worth waiting a couple of days for them to sort their systems out :angry:

Hustler1337 to GS_Dan

8 Sep 17 #38

That's odd. Did they give you a reason why they couldn't upgrade? In the meantime, I logged into My 3 account online and clicked on the 'Change Price Plan' option as I'm out of my minimum term and on a rolling monthly contract atm with Three. It won't let me change my plan to anything, saying "You'll need to wait 72 hours before you can change your price plan. You can also buy a short-term add-on if you need extra data immediately.". :thinking:‌ :thinking:‌ :thinking:

If it open Same Page then check Page Bottom Right Side corner.

Link no longer works anyway, add plan to basket it doesn't ask for email and adds at full price not the discounted price. I've hit expired, someone else needs to do the same

Tried to get this for my daughter with cashback but it didn't track so went for the £18 per month 30gb unlimited calls / text and £45 tracked via tcb bringing it down to £14.25 per month.

Just buy cheapest payg 3 card and you can sign to 30GB £16 contract as an additional line...

dbecks07 to pavel76

8 Sep 17 #14

PAYG doesn't count!

cldox to dbecks07

8 Sep 17 #17

I just got a 12GB advanced plan for £12 by taking it as a second line with a PAYG sim. So it probably does work.

seaniboy to dbecks07

8 Sep 17 #30

It did. Choose plan, enter payg number and £2 off a month

three.co.uk/cus…ers

i just did it with a unused payg number, still works

Can save more by going through TopCashBack. Get £65 cashback without having to send off any bills or have any faff.

Birings the 12 month price down to £12.60 ish / month.

pavel76 to Gazbert

8 Sep 17 #4

Not so easy... lots of people didn't get any cashback when shopping at three

sdduk2 to pavel76

8 Sep 17 #27

Got cashback from 3 from TopCashBack with no trouble took a while but got it in the end.
If you expect to get it straight away you won't on anything you have to wait at least 2 months to get it.

Hustler1337 to sdduk2

8 Sep 17 #28

Are you talking about this specific deal or a was it for another deal in the past?

sdduk2 to Hustler1337

8 Sep 17 #29

No not this deal a deal a few months ago i took out with them but people was saying the same thing about my deal yet i got £30 TCB .
pavel76 wasn't just talking about this deal the way i read it.

shane_stocks

I got the same but for £15 yesterday after trying to leave them. They then offered me this.

Keith9534 to shane_stocks

8 Sep 17 #11

Can you post your My3 showing this so other people can ask them to match it?

mikecopeperera to shane_stocks

I was also offered this when I tried to cancel, but fancied a different sim only contract with 30gb tethering.

I have this at £15 and I'm not a student.
