It probably won't tempt old customers who've already left to come back...
It might tempt new low user customers though, with the lower top up amount

no the whole point of these packs are for high users giving them better value if they removed the limit on the value packs they would probily make a loss
Some reports have said that the new 'radical' Three Pay relaunch was going to be much better, but 3 pulled most of it just before it went live & thats why there is this half hearted attempt to attract new customers.

well its looks like we just have to wait until next year. when they have nicked about £5 of credit in 30days for a few months!
well they already removed the 30 day limit on the £15 voucher!! now w2hat it is they are introducing a £20 and £10 vouchers that also like the £15 have no expiery
Non expiring credit would be great for me. And i might rejoin.
I really like and used three services. I left three about 8 months ago because of there expiring credit. I topup £10 once every 3 months or so.

Join Orange instead with a new sanyo phone. 3G and they won't nick your credit either.... and you can always fall back on the 2g network if you need too...unlike 3 where you fall back on o2or probably spend alot of time uknowingly on o2.
Got myself a nice little sanyo S750i on the orange 3G network.
Not topped it up yet.Still using my 3000 free texts.

But Orange is expensive for Extras, I finally decided to keep my phone and port out from T-Mobile ot Virgin and will be getting 200 mins and 400 texts for £36 bundle.

I have no idea. Orange don't seem to make a big thing of 3G. Try there website. The Sanyo phones look good value from about £50 (off the top of my head)
The Orange shop will probably let you have a go on one too...

Orange - expensive? Well... the monthly calls Extras aren't brilliant value I agree, but the weekly ones are worth a look. I mean:
Monthly - 100 minutes xnet anytime = £20 v. Weekly - 60 minutes xnet anytime = £5 (approx. 240 minutes/£20 a month)

I'm not on a 3G network so i couldn't comment... I've had a play with a nokia 3 phone and was quite impressed however the 3G availabilty was quite limited and it seemed that i'd be no better of than on a normal 2.5g network so I didn't bother.
I think getting the sanyo phone would be a step in the right direction, and a good intro to 3g. At £50 odd you are only paying the same as a cheap mobile... most of these services are probably going to be charged for anyway, so once the novelty wears off or free trial ends alot of people will drift back to normal use of there phone.
Why bother with an unreliable sevice like 3 when you can get Orange 3G for less!!
