Three SIM-only Deals
Out of the numerous mobile providers, Three UK is one of the few offering SIM deals with unlimited data. When it comes to SIM plans, there are not many options. These plans by Three are not only priced reasonably, but include unlimited calls, and texts, and with its Go Binge benefit, you can enjoy higher data allowances as well. However, there are no one-month deals available. You would have to sign up for a year.
Tariffs and Plans
Earlier, Three’s core selling point was its unlimited data plans. Nowadays, every provider is offering such plans. However, Three offers some good options. For a monthly deal, there are plenty of choices with a good range of data options from 1GB to unlimited. The contract lengths vary from one 1-month, 12-months to 24-months.
For PAYG (Pay-as-you-go) deals, Three UK offers users SIM-only and handset deals. You could purchase a data pack or top up your SIM card with credit. The data pack validity is for a month, and you can enjoy unlimited texts and minutes. If you go for credit top-up only, you will be paying:
- £5 per MB
- £10 per text
- £10 per minute for calls
Users can enjoy data packs in 6GB, 20GB, and 50 GB, and Unlimited offering excellent value for money to PAYG customers. The mobile provider has something for everyone’s needs.
Network Coverage
With 2G, 3G, and 4G, Three UK covers 99.8% of the UK population. The mobile provider is working on its 5G service and claims to make it to the top as UK’s fastest. 5G service is not excellent at the moment. You can use the coverage checker to see if it works in your locality.
Extras
Here are some of the extras and benefits Three UK offers to users:
- Go Binge works on advanced plans in which any streaming you do on Netflix, SoundCloud, Deezer, and others does not come out of your data allowance.
- With EasyJet Hands-Free, Three’s monthly paying customers can enjoy a free travel upgrade when flying with EasyJet. They also get priority boarding.
- Depending on your Three plan, Go Roam lets you use your regular call, data, and test allowances in Europe and around the world.
- Three customers can use free Wi-Fi on London Underground by connecting to Virgin Media Wi-Fi hotspots.
Final Thoughts
Three UK offers something for everyone. Reasonably-priced plans for mid-range and premium handsets and expensive plans for flagship phones like Samsung Galaxy and iPhones. You can rest be assured that Three is one of the few networks to offer unlimited data.
Three’s extras are worth checking out regardless of patchy 5G service and mediocre customer service.
