All hail O2 and Sky mobile! Although I fear it's only a matter of time until they also introduce roaming charges.
Looks like Three have joined the roaming charges party. I’m surprised as they had included roaming for awhile before it became EU law and it went well beyond that requirement as well.
Just O2 remaining, should we place bets for how long it takes them to change?
Sad times - one of the main reasons I stayed with 3 for years. Any provider is fair game now when I come up to renewal. Flippin' Brexit.
Just renewed my Three contract early to keep the roaming benefits for another 24 months. Apparently if you renew before Oct 1st you'll keep the roaming for the life of your contract. We'll see I guess. I usually visit upwards of 50 countries a year through work so its a necessity really.
A well known issue that's been going on for years apparently..... your required to turn roaming OFF unless you want a massive bill! Its in the small print it seemsIt will be interesting to see what happens with charges if it happens again
There is a £2 daily charge to unlock your UK allowance in Go Roam in Europe destinations and a £5 daily charge in Go Roam Around the World destinations. We are waiving the daily charge until 23 May 2022 but from then, the daily charge will be applied as soon as there is a "chargeable event" (such as accessing data services or making an outbound call or text). There is no daily charge if you choose to stay on your plan after your current contract ends. Go Roam use in the Republic of Ireland and the Isle of Man is excluded from the daily charge. Our fair use policies apply in Go Roam destinations. See www.three.co.uk/priceguide for full details.
Noticed this in the smallprint of Three emails.
I thought they would be the last to introduce this.
I'm a little confused if this only applies to new contracts though. Currently pay £8.36 for 12GB of data and unlimited minutes. Might be a strong incentive to leave it rolling over forever.
I would assume there is a provision in the rolling contracts for terms to change at the end of the contract period, which will be the end of the 30 day period.
Dunno, the wording seems to imply I won't be charged. I'll find out once the contract ends next month I guess.
They phoned me up last week to "upgrade". I asked what they had and the best they could offer was £12 for the same deal on a 24 month contract. I asked what the benefit of me upgrading would be and the answer was, I would benefit from being on a new contract .
