Three UK Special Offer on PAYG SIM

Hi,

Just been alerted that Three are currently doing a special promotion on one of their Pay As You Go SIMs.

Three are offering a PAYG data SIM loaded with 24GB of data - and that data can be used for up to 2 years time.

The SIM can be ordered here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01 ... g=ho01f-21

More information about this here: https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Contr ... p/19571682

Idea for if you need a mobile data hotspot or if you need quite a bit of data for soemthing else!

Please note: Once the data has been used up it will go to ordinary PAYG rates. calls and texts will be at ordinary PAYG rates. However, this is not horrendously expensive on Three - 3p/min, 2p/text, 1p/MB data - and there are Add-Ons that you can get, like the 300 minutes, 3000 texts and 12GB data for £20 add-on.

If it wasn't for the fact that I already have 16GB data per month with EE, I'd be getting a few of those!

I tried posting this on the VM forums, and when it says I'm banned, the reason was causing distress to James_W. :rofl: :workworkwork:

What an absolute clown he is! :rofl: :mad:

Speaking of, Virgin Mobile are FINALLY allowing their users onto 4G, though who knows if they still have the 3.5GB limit or not?

IMO, you should get either one of those Three SIMs, or a Giffgaff SIM, for your needs :)

I bet the limit will still apply. :rolleyes: :doh2:

If that's the case, can I make James_W eat used tampons?

I'm going to try and find out :yep:

If it does, then you sure can! Because the thing being, VM should not even be selling SIMS above 3.5GB if there is such a reduction in speed! 384kbit/s is not good enough...

And.... this has been picked up on by the Daily Mail. What a surprise!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... s-8GB.html

Is VM's fair use policy really fair, capping data at 3.5GB yet charging customers for 8GB? :rolleyes:

That Three UK SIM in the OP is the way to go - or alternatively, get an EE or Vodafone contract when on special offer (depending on which operator serves your area the best) or a Giffgaff PAYG SIM from here:
