Sadly work phone is an iPhone 4s so it won't help. If Three ever do anything to mess up my tariff though I'll switch my iPhone 6 to EE.

Google's ProjectFi have added Three (global) for higher speed international roaming.

Is that the thing that, in a manner, creates a hetereogeneus network?

My Nexus 5X works on Three 800MHz without InTouch installed?

There was supposed to be an update for the 5X and 6P in Q1. Besides support for EE Wi-Fi Calling, I wasn't aware it had actually happened. Good news if true and I may have to put my Three SIM back in my 6P one day to check (currently on Android N beta 3).

Calls don't work but I can use the Internet.

Did you ever have inTouch installed?

I have a 6P and should get coverage in this area, but not picking anything up. I don't get any 3G indoors.

Nope, just got the phone today and it was showing 4G during setup and indeed still is. No 1800MHz in this area.

No problems so far , great having 4G in the house , the test will be when we go on our travels south in August as i like using WD's My Cloud for streaming music on the move .

Is there now a list of phones that if flashed with Three roms will get updates to do Supervoice natively?

They said they were going to update loads of phones and then seemed to stop after a few.

I received a text from Three the other day:

Quote:
“4G Super-Voice is now available for your phone. The latest software update will give you better indoor coverage in Banchory. Go to bit.ly/4GSuper for more info”

I've already been able to use VoLTE on 4G on my iPhone SE, but I'm struggling to see where the better indoor coverage in Banchory is going to come from when we only have 3G here! (Although I did pick up 4G for a brief moment when on the summit of a local hill up a tall tower...) I won't get my hopes up and assume that they're planning to expand 4G out here any time soon...

Wow, I've wasted TWO long calls with an intransigent and almost unintelligible Three retentions dept CS agent. They swore the best they could do for "Feel at Home" included (which I do use) - was £16 (4GB, unlimited mins & texts 12 months)...

They refused to listen that Loyal customers" get NOTHING for being loyal, because new customers can get the "6 months half price offer" having almost the same features with the cost over 12 months equating to £12/month.. He just kept banging on about if I left and returned a little later, I'd loose my "loyalty" which as they've shown is worth diddly squat!!!

Looking at the new essentials plans, I can only imagine that the advanced ones will now be marketed as premium plans soon, and we all know that this might mean more price rises.

Plus isn't tethering now pretty standard from all the other operators? Even BT Mobile these days. Whatever data you paid for can be used anyway you want. Now Three is changing that.

And of course AYCE data is gone now too, unless you buy an add-on and have also purchased at least one other (18GB) add on. Confusing, much?

A clever move by Three, which can make changes gradually and not so significant as to be noticed until it happens.

I've tried forcing my Nexus 5X to 4G only in a place with no 1800MHz but with 800MHz, and I get nothing. Does it still work for you and if so did it just work automatically?

They do seem to be going backwards. What's all this "data unit" business? AFAIK you can't convert them into anything other than UK data, so why not just say that you have xGB and not x000 "units"?

This seems to be their way of ending the free roaming without actually doing so. Not that it was much good, I never used it but others seem to think it was horribly traffic shaped to make anything other than basic web browsing and email unusable.

Very unimpressed with 3. I've already moved to BT Mobile now that they allow tethering - EE performance without EE prices. Hopefully they launch VoLTE / wifi calling / 800 soon (though I don't actually have a VoLTE handset yet)

I'm sure someone will be along soon to say that people were abusing free calls to customer service...!

My Nexus 5x worked on 800mhz for the first 3 days then stopped.

Three told me it will never be supported including via InTouch as they do not sell, support or recognise this device.

I can perform a little trick that gives me 800mhz again for 2-3 days, I do this before traveling to an area that relies on 800mhz (data only but I call via WhatsApp)

Different to BT / Virgin or any other company that does new customer deals. Every customer gets the opportunity to have new customer deals, you would have been a new customer and had it once. You can leave for 3 months usually and then be a new customer again but other than that they don't 'owe' you a discount.
