3 12GB/12mth data sim for only £30?

[Mr David]

Just bought this, I thought 56 pounds was not bad as reduced from more than 70 pounds. Really surprised they reduced the price again

We also use EE and have a couple of the 6Gb for 3months cards at 14 pounds, each card has an expiry date on it, on the cards I have used this ranges from 05/23 to 07/25??

We also have some of these sims, where is the expiry date printed because ours don't seem to have one.

Just found this on this on the 3 web site.

Is this pay just £30 for a "pop-it-in" sim for a mifi unit or is there some catch? Plan details seem a little vague. Too good to be true?

Thanks for that head up. Last week I was thinking of buying it for £56!! Bought it now at £30

How usable is the '3' sim abroad, we did have one on contract but couldn't get it to connect last year at all so I'm hoping that we will this time round.

What are people's experiences please?

I had a 3 with a £20 feel at home add on when I went round France clockwise sept last year it was in my phone and had no problems at all even when the bars were low I was still able to get what I wanted....

It's the first First time I kept my roaming on and thought it was brill....

Where have I been all my life...!

We have several stock piled to use at our static and have also used several too - they don't require activation by X days so you're safe to keep it unused ..

Many thanks MInxy, if I remember right that 6Gb cost me £17 from an EE shop.

I also just bought one at £56 last week!!!! thought I had bagged myself a good deal . Can confirm when I placed the order it said standard SIM but when it arrived it said it was a trio SIM on the packet for use in any unlocked 3G or 4G tablet, dongle or mobile wi-fi device, 3 say they have put all 3 SIM's, Standard, Micro & Nano on one card, you just pop out the size you need. I understand from man in the 3 shop countdown does start from activation not date of purchase.

Same here, so under the distance selling rules, (up to 14 days money back) I have posted ours back with the correct (downloaded) returns form filled in.
In the meantime, I have purchased one of the 12Gb + sims @ £30, and will purchase another shortly.

Cheers,

Jock.

Bit of a belated response and can only say that the 3 Data Sim I used in France last year was excellent. Never without coverage (though we do use a cheapo antenna for the mifi). So impressed that I have bought a 3 payg sim for the second slot in my dual sim phone for our next trip. I did find that one of the 3 partners (FREE) was a little slower (throttled?) than the others.

Yes but only for basic browsing, email. It is throttled, never managed to watch a Youtube vid using it in France or Spain.

And I've just right now, purchased one for the lovely Rita. I certainly know how to spoil a woman, eh?

That'll do for me, ie, a bit of news and weather, online banking (if necessary), email from daughter and/or neighbour, the odd map update for the tablet perhaps, and access to FUN, especially if we are in Spain over winter.

Cheers,

Jock.

A tip to keep your data usage down, if you are intending to email people type it up in Word first then link to the internet and paste it into the email.

Same applies if you are sent long emails to read, just copy the content to a word document to read at your leisure 'off line'.
