    So are the 300min calls and 3000 texts for use in the 42 nominated countries? Or are the calls and texts for the UK only?

    • retiredfeline on 08/02/2017 - 17:46

      UK only as in description.

    • AssociatedSo Easy Travel @ FindMyPlan.travel on 08/02/2017 - 17:50

      Hi avra06,

      That's right! The 300min calls and 3000 texts can only be used within the United Kingdom.

      However the 12GB of data can be used in the nominated 42 countries :)

      -Michael

      • peekz on 09/02/2017 - 16:28

        Quick Q, if you're roaming while using this card but also want to make calls and send texts, would you have to add more credit? Or just use the existing credit that's applied when the card is activated much quicker? Cheers :)

      • bluedez_man on 08/02/2017 - 18:04

        How does one recharge the SIM if they are not in the UK? Recharge online seems to require a UK based credit card.

        • mccaj09 on 08/02/2017 - 18:24

          Used this sim card whilst in Europe, travelling for two months and basically you cant recharge it after you leave the UK. Shame as this deal and other similar UK sims are so much better value then others throughout Europe

        • bluedez_man on 08/02/2017 - 18:27

          @mccaj09: Yep it sure is. I have a card from last year (purchased in the UK) and I think that it cost me about about $40 AUD for the same thing. Just wasn't sure if there is an option to recharge if one is travelling for longer than a month.

        • AssociatedSo Easy Travel @ FindMyPlan.travel on 09/02/2017 - 12:43

          Hi,

          You are right, to recharge online requires a UK credit card, HOWEVER.

          You can contact the ThreeUK customer service by either calling, emailing or using live chat and ask them to recharge for you.

          http://www.three.co.uk/Contact-us/i

          Hope this helps!

          Thanks.

      Hi Bonky,

      That will depend on the person calling you, their plan may have unlimited calls to the country you're in! :)

      If you want to be completely safe on both ends, we find most of our customers will use data apps like WhatsApp and messenger to keep in touch with friends and family!

      The SIM does not have a shelf life. If you purchase now, you can just have it sitting in your draw until travel time is here! Once the SIM has been activated that's when the expiry will start!

  • idyllboy on 08/02/2017 - 18:10

    Off to the UK and then mainland Europe in August so this looks pretty promising. Does it automatically give you a phone number that people can call you on? if yes, I assume it's a UK number right? And where can I get details on the 'recharge' costs etc after the one month is up?

    • AssociatedSo Easy Travel @ FindMyPlan.travel on 08/02/2017 - 18:20

      Hi Idyllboy,

      The phone number is supplied on the packing! So you can give it to your friends and family before you travel! That's right, the number will be a UK phone number.

      To check the recharge costs simply go to: three.co.uk/add-ons

      -Michael

      • idyllboy on 08/02/2017 - 18:31

        thanks Michael for quick response: for anyone else interested, it looks like you pay the following for recharging
        £20 for same as above (12Gb + 300 minutes + 3000sms)
        £25 for unlimited data and 500 minutes + 3000sms
        other offers for 3 to 3, just data, just calls

      • power71 on 08/02/2017 - 21:48

        Michael. Can I activate in USA , then travel to Canada and then onto UK and Germany? Or does it actually need to be activated in the UK?

        • AssociatedSo Easy Travel @ FindMyPlan.travel on 09/02/2017 - 12:54

          You will be able to activate in USA. And just to be clear, the SIM doesnt work in Canada. But will work if you go to USA, UK, Germany.

          I have just confirmed (doing an activation myself with a 3UK preloaded Phone SIM now here in Australia) with no issue, but 3UK has recently issued a statement saying they will block activations on the 3UK data SIM if not first activated in UK…no reference to the preloaded Phone SIM as far as I am aware.

        • AssociatedSo Easy Travel @ FindMyPlan.travel on 09/02/2017 - 13:02

          @Underlord: This is correct, we have activated the All in One phone plans in many countries with no issues thus far. However we were instructed not to activate DATA-ONLY plans outside UK first. As there is a chance that the SIM will get deactivated. Hope this clears things up. P.S anyone who has purchased the SIM in this deal shouldnt have any problems activating outside UK.

        • billbro on 09/02/2017 - 16:32

          @FindMyPlan:

          Hi Michael,

          Have you tried activating this after the announcement/have there been any customer issues?

          I just placed an order via paypal, but would like the above confirmed - as I'd rather not have to deal with issues downstream on our trip.

          Also, I believe all calls received in the feel at home destinations are free under this plan, but can you confirm that this is correct?

        • Randxyz123 on 09/02/2017 - 18:20

          @Underlord: That's stupid…. As if you couldn't reload credit here so you can hit the ground running with data….

          I'll send them a email saying I need to have internet when I land for my business trip and see what they say.

    • HelpWanted on 09/02/2017 - 13:16

      Does not allow tethering period, or just not in the UK? The terms seem a little vauge;

      "Feel At Home is designed for UK residents who are on holiday or business trips abroad, not for extended periods abroad."
      "You can't use your phone as a personal hotspot (tethering) while you're abroad"
      From Here

      "Feel at home is intended for UK residents visiting one of the destinations for short trips like holidays or business trips. This means that there are some restrictions regarding how you use Feel At Home"
      "Other restrictions are:
      You Can't use your phone as a personal Hotspot, also called tethering, in a Feel At Home destination. This applies even if you normally tether in the UK using your data allowance, or have a personal hotspot allowance or Add-on."

      Our Feel At Home Destinations

      If your plan includes Feel At Home, you can currently enjoy this in;
      Australia, Austria, France, Malta, ….etc etc…

      NO Mention of UK in the list of destinations, does that mean you can tether in the UK but not in Europe?

      All extracts from Here

      Be nice if Michael could clarify. Heading to UK in March and this is ideal IF tethering allowed in UK.

      • HelpWanted on 09/02/2017 - 19:01

        Assuming this is the same SIM it appears tethering may be available in the UK only.

        Also, this paragraph on the 3 site has me confused?

        Availability.

        You can enjoy Feel At Home whether you're on Pay Monthly or Pay As You Go, using a tablet, phone, Mobile Wi-Fi or dongle. On all our Pay Monthly plans, except Three Essential plans, you'll automatically use your monthly unit allowance and Add-on unit allowance to call and text the UK and use data, and if you're on Pay As You Go you'll need to convert your Pay As You Go credit into an Add-on to get a unit allowance to fully enjoy Feel At Home.

        • Lukian on 09/02/2017 - 19:11

          I think this is already done (pre-selected?) for this SIM, it's activated into the "All-in-One 20" add-on.

    Hey Michael, I'm worried leaving the global data roaming on the whole time will charge me more money etc.

    • So I ensure my old sim card has been removed, put the new sim card in and the data is just fixed, so once I reach 12gb I won't be charged anymore, my data just won't work?

    • Also once the data has been reached, will the phone calls and/or texts still work?

    Thanks

    • AssociatedSo Easy Travel @ FindMyPlan.travel on 09/02/2017 - 13:06

      Hi,

      Don't worry, there is no way for you to be billed roaming charges on a PrePaid SIM (the whole reason to get a prepaid SIM!).

      Once you use all the data the internet will stop working correct, there will be no additional charges.
      Once the Data is all used up the calls and texts will remain until the end of the 30 days.

      Hope this helps!

      Thanks

    • AssociatedSo Easy Travel @ FindMyPlan.travel on 09/02/2017 - 13:07

      You can do either, but I would just wait until you are in Europe as as soon as the SIM is picked up on a network it starts the 30 days.

    Hey rep - do you still need to activate these from the UK? Also how long are these packs active for?

    Awesome to see Three UK has added Germany and The Netherlands to their feel at home destinations. Would highly recommend this SIM card. Excellent to use for EUROPE.

    To those asking about roaming in the US, I don't know why the hell you would bother. USA phone plans are cheap. T-Mobile for example is the same price.

    Use your units in the UK or in Feel At Home destinations.

    Looks like the call and SMS allowance can be used in feel at home countries (along with the data allowance).

    These countries seem to have 'reasonable' excess rates (if you need more than the included allowance):

    ØThe selected European countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
    Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy (inc.Vatican City), Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
    Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.

      If you read further into that document it seems to be that only calls and texts back to the UK from a feel at home destination are able to be used out of your allowance.

    Hi OP

    I was planning on taking my ipad to the UK in a couple of months and was wondering if this sim can be activated/used as a data only sim within the UK?

    Thanks

    I'm flying over to Europe (Paris, London and Rome) next week What's the best way to get ahold of the sim card? just drop into a Three store?

      If you land in London, you can pick up one from a vending machine after you clear customs
