I’ve certainly been rather outspoken about the limitations of Three’s Feel at Home scheme for the last year or so, but there is some good news. Next month sees the addition of 24 new destinations where you can enjoy calls, texts and data at no extra cost. These new destinations are: Belgium… [Click for more]
Whether we’re leaving the EU one day or not, it isn’t slowing the industry from stepping up the competition when it comes to European roaming. This time, it’s the turn of EE to shake things up – big time. Three kicked things off with its 3G-only, heavily throttled, Feel at Home service (or… [Click for more]
Three has unveiled brand-new Essentials plans. The cynic in me wonders if this is a sign of things to come (namely that one day the current ‘Advanced’ plans may be phased out, or made a lot more expensive), but the optimist hopes it’s just a way to offer better value… [Click for more]

Earlier this week, I brought up the subject of using data abroad not being like using data at home as a Three customer.

It’s finally going to happen, after a number of hurdles and delays that nearly made it look like it would never happen. But, at last, the EU will soon be treated ‘as one’ for mobile phone users who live within the EU themselves. From July 2017, it will be possible to… [Click for more]
