Three Mobile - SIM Only Contract - European Roaming
Aldridge Andy
14-01-2013
To any Three Mobile SIM only customers out there...

Has anyone managed to have roaming enabled earlier than the 60 days from start of contract period as noted on the website?

I spoke to Three's telesales and they said it wouldnt be a problem but the last thing I need is to take out a 12 month contract and find that a few weeks in, it doesnt work for a long weekend in europe.

Cheers.

I'm on 30 day rolling and got it enabled about 2 months after starting. I wasn't even aware there was a time limit. I didn't even realise I hadn't done it, so I had to call up when I was there. If you're going to add it, make sure you call before you leave the UK.

I don't know whether it's anything to do with your credit rating and whether you actually pay but mine is very good. Could I get them to budge and enable roaming earlier than the 60 days though? No! I even offered to pay a deposit which they refused. I wouldn't believe what the telesales say though unless they put it in writing.

Does the £5 Euro unlimited internet pass work on SIM only's or it it just the standard 24 month contracts?

Was it a 30 Day or 12 Month SIM Only? Will it work on the £12.90 deal?

It should work on any pay monthly phone plan.

SIM Only or with a phone included.

30 day, 12 month, 18 month or 24 month

I managed to get it enabled earlier.

They said that as an existing customer with another account (I have payments going back to 2005), they enabled it based on that.
