well my 18month contract with 3 was coming to the end, and i stupidly left my mobile out in rain,,they dont like rain! so i stupidly contacted 3 to get a new phone,and another 18month contract. ive the 1100 talk n text,for £20 per month,which seems fair to me. they initially rang me 2 weeks before offering me a new phone and same 1100 units for £27 per month. i told them to forget it,,,,,,then after my phone packed in,i rang them,and a chap at 3 ...

Advantages: No long expensive contracts, no need for BT landline
Disadvantages: a £10 top up needs to be used within 30 days since topping up.

...about the coverage of the 3 network after reading some terrable reviews but I found I got fast broadband everywhere I went. The installation is simple, there is no disks to load up, simply plus the usb stick into your pc, wait a couple of minutes and your away. I found that just browsing websites on this thing didn't use very much bandwidth either. I tested it on Paltalk which used around 40mb per hour. this isn't bad as £10 gets you 1000mb ... Read review

Advantages: Was happy with coverage, never had nay problems using my phone.
Disadvantages: Poor customer services, will not take no for an answer, very hard to get what you want.

...3. Last year my contract with 3 mobile was coming to an end after 18 months. I phoned customer services and my reason was to give them the 30 days notice required to cancel my contract. My decision to cancel my contract wasn?t due to bad reception or coverage, I was very happy with the service I had received whenever I used my phone. I basically wanted to get my monthly outgoings down to a minimum and then when I could afford it get myself a new ... Read review

I have been with 3 for nearly 3 years and recently contacted their HELPDESK as I was charged for downloads which I never recieved due to the connection failing. As any normal person would they'd try again which I did and again it didn't work so I just gave up trying. SUPRISINGLY WHEN MY BILL CAME I WAS CHARGED FOR THESE TWO DOWNLOADS. I called and was told because i didn't notify 3 within 24hrs of it happening i was not allowed a credit, but when i explained that my bill only came today they said the same thing (reading off her script). But like most of these call centres the conversation just goes around in circles...RECOMMEND NEVER TO USE 3 MOBILE..

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

I have had 3 Broadband for 6 months now on a 18 month contract, i work in electronics so have plenty of experience in this field, what needs to be put strait first is 3 Broadband is not no where near even at its best as fast as a land line Broadband, the only time you can use it is in the middle of the night when other user's have gone to bed, in the day or evening you can wait five minutes for a page to change, i have obviously contacted 3 Broadband ...

I have and use G3 mobile broadband, and it is the best choice I have made. Receiving is not always strong but it connect me to braodband at all places all over the UK .

Advantages: easy to use, mobile, can be fast
Disadvantages: can be slow!, software needed to connect

I have been using the mf622 for about three months now, and it generally performs well. I took up threes offer of a modem with 3GB a month allowance, for half price as I already had a phone with them. It costs me £7.50 a month, and I pay £3 insurance. The insurance can be cancelled without affecting the deal apparently. I was also interested as I had moved into a new house, and BT wanted £130 to connect me up! I use the modem in a fixed location ... Read review

Advantages: empties your bank account
Disadvantages: can cause heart attacks!!

3 (three) mobile have charged me an exorbitant amount for going over the monthly 3GB limit.They mislead me instore by saying this was not possible, and the customer "help" is dreadful, both on the Indian no-help line and instore. I was notified (by being sent 50 messages all at once!!) 2 days after allegedly going over my limit, and later told they couldnt contact me sooner as I hadn't been online!Overall they charged me £39 for one month for allegedly ...

Advantages: Use literally anywhere with a mobile phone signal. 98% coverage. Full On Regular Internet Access
Disadvantages: Running out of credit, unused bandwidth does not rollover

...reading about it on the 3 website. What made me go out and buy it was the fact that existing 3pay customers got it for £70 instead of £99. Since buying it the price has dropped to 50%. So i presume that would be about £50 now. Obviously this is the best choice if you dont want a landline in order to enjoy the full benefit of broadband. It's just as good as wifi, as you can move about freely. No need to be near any phone line as the signal works the ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to setup and use
Disadvantages: Simply the S L O W E S T system you will EVER use - AVOID!!

I have been with 3 for my phone for over 3 years now and have few complants, other than the long delay before voicemail notifications come through. BUT Their 'mobile broadband' service is simple AWFUL! For £15/month you get a box containing a 'dongle' which you plug into a USB port on your PC. With a few minutes, the PC has recognised the new device and you are connected to 3 as your ISP and off you go - very simple, very easy, very quick. Unfortunately, ... Read review

Advantages: Friendly staff, good prices
Disadvantages: Coverage could be better, poor firmware with branded phones

Overall Three is a very good service provider and I have had an excellent experience with them over the past 18 months. When my contract came to an end recently I chose to stay with Three, rather than switch to an alternative provider, and I was offered a wide range of phone and contract upgrades despite not being a 'brand new customer'. Signal coverage is not as widespread as Vodafone, for example, but perfectly adequate for normal daily use. Occasionally ... Read review
