I put this in it's own thread otherwise it would just get lost in that other one.


Three have stated in a blog* that although you can't actually buy the add-on as yet, a person topping up with £15 will automagically get the deal.

Seems a bit strange since what if you really wanted a different add-on?


But anyway, has anyone gone for it yet on PAYG?

I think they mean if you top by £15 and add the £15 add-on, you will automatically get all you can eata, despite what it says.

No, no one has tried it in that thread.


For "Lummo", there is no Add-on available to buy at the moment.

In the blog they acknowledge this but claim that if a person tops-up £15/£25 it will instantly convert to the appropriate data add-on. Most strange.

Yes, that's exactly how I read it as well. I think the OP is overthinking things.

Guess I'll find out one way or the other tomorrow though as I'm going to buy it then, so the allowances on both my phones will start on the 10th.

I think existing PAYG customers will have to change tariff. Currently the Three PAYG tariff is called "3Pay".

I think a call to CS is needed to change to the "All in One 15" tariff and that's why the £15/£25 Add-ons are not visible in my My3 account info


Topping up £15 while still on "3Pay" will more than likely NOT provide access to the add-ons for unlimited data.

'Lost' in what way? You are just bringing up what has already been discussed in any case.

.
from 3 support pages do keep up

If you joined us between June 2009 and September 2010 you’ll be on our 3Pay tariff. Our new tariff is Pay As You Go on Three.

This was got a couple of weeks ago so their must be a new one now

Ah, that's where this coming from.

OK, the current Three PAYG tariff is "PAYG on 3" - this includes the All-in-one add-ons.

The previous Three PAYG tariffs are "3Pay", "Flat12" and "WePay" - these tariffs have their own add-ons which don't include the All-in-one add on.

As a result, if the All-in-one add-ons aren't showing up on My3 or 444 you're right - you'll need to change tariff. This can be done by ringing 333 or 444.

Yes, thanks for that. I just worked it out that I have an old PAYG tariff.

And I have found the option on 444.


"Broadcasting" is less confrontational than Mobile Phones. Oy!
