3 network - better than it used to be

The only thing that 3G lacks is reception in certain areas but when it works, its absolutely rock solid, especially the internet.

I went on to the 3G website to update myself on this one as I wasn't sure but found the following:

For £15 you get 300 minutes and 3000 texts
and now all-you-can-eat data.

£15 for my linking would still be too much for a month.

Bingo, this might be more informative:

Code:

If you were on there 3Pay tariff you would get the following free:

Texts to any UK mobile Free allowance with every top-up, then 11p/text
Mobile internet Free allowance of 150MB with every top-up, then 31p / MB
Skype-to-Skype Free (compatible phone required)
Windows Live Messenger Free

I know it doesn't say exactly how much free texts you get which is why I'm confused on the website. Back then I used to top up online so I would get 600 texts and 150MB internet which would last me around 2 months out of the 3 i was allowed.

If I dont get what I had before or something similar then I wont be going back with 3.

I had a nokia n80 on the 3 network the only time I could get reception at home I had to hang out of the rear bedroom window so I went to O2 and never looked back

O2 and Orange are by far the best networks for reception, beats 3G hands down, but the 3G network sure has the best internet experience around...

As for Virgin, I'm currently using the Orange signal on my Virgin sim because T-Mobile and Orange have "teamed up" and now I can leech of the Orange network under my Virgin contract sim/phone.

with some nokias they didnt always seem to work on the 3 network. I often had trouble with my E71 but as soon as i got my ip4 ive had no connection problem at all and im on the net all the time. Often my 3g network is better than my vm wireless

I was aware it was an old thread and an old sim, obviously I was expecting too much from the Three eeejut, but surely if I open an old but unused sim pack they should give me that tarrif? I think for £10 you got 300 texts, internet & skype which lasted for 3 months and was used before your regular credit. Good deal for a light user like me, so what is the new pay as you go deal?

It would have had an expiry date on the package so no if it was out of date you wouldnt probably get the package you thought you had - you would need to take it up with one of the staff in their shops. As for their latest deal again look on their website or go into one of their stores. I had some very old o2 sims that i got "FREE" as you used to be able to send off for free ones, but they had an expiry date - which was probably only a month or so, so if not used you would pay regular prices and not the tarif it advertised. look on any of the carriers website and in the small print it will probably mention something about tarrifs - even if it says subject to change etc.
