All of these deals are Lite SIMO plans (previously known as ‘Standard SIMO’ plans). They’ll give you access to Three’s 5G network with no speed limits or restrictions. You’ll also get access to the Three+ app included as standard.

For additional benefits like inclusive roaming and Paramount+, you can choose a ‘Value SIMO’ or ‘Complete SIMO’ plan instead (see below).

Value & Complete SIMO Plans

If you’re looking for additional plan benefits, you can upgrade your ‘Lite SIMO’ plan to a Value SIMO plan or a Complete SIMO plan from Three:

  • On Three’s Value SIMO plans, you’ll be able to use your mobile phone at no extra cost in 49 European destinations. You’ll also get Paramount+ included for the first half of your plan (worth £4.99 per month).
  • Meanwhile, Three’s Complete SIMO plans will give you their most comprehensive international roaming offer. It comes with inclusive roaming in a massive 160 worldwide destinations. You’ll also get Paramount+ included for the entire length of your plan.

Keeping Your Phone Number

If you’re switching to Three, it’s a straightforward process keeping your current phone number.

Start by asking your current mobile network to give you a PAC Code. You can get one by texting PAC to 65075, or you can request one online through your mobile network’s website or app.

Once you’ve gotten your PAC Code, you’ll be able to place your order online with Three. You can provide them with the PAC Code when you sign up, or wait until the SIM card arrives and then fill out this form on their website.

For step-by-step instructions on transferring your phone number to Three, please select your current mobile network from the drop-down menu below:

    Today (28/01/2023) Three is advertising unlimited for £12 per month, yesterday I renewed my 24m contract for £16 per month. I asked for PAC code first and after half hour of arguing and rejecting all other deals offered, I was given the £16 deal which I have been on for about 4 years now.

  • The table near the top, above the contents is missing the 4GB data for £6 and 100GB for £15. Perhaps these were omitted intentionally.

    What about upgrading if one finds the allowance isn’t enough? When on one of the hidden plans, is it possible to upgrade to the next hidden one up?

    For example, suppose one subscribes to the 2GB of data £5 and finds it isn’t enough; is it possible to move to the 4GB for £6?

    I may ask a similar question of other operators. Perhaps this is a subject to discuss on a page of its own, analysing the policies of each provider.

    • Hi Dave,
      Thanks for bringing this to my attention – this has now been fixed! 🙂
      With regards to upgrades, I don’t believe these will be available when you upgrade. If you want to increase your data allowance, you can do this through the My3 app but I believe they’ll only show you their normal plans there.

    Thanks.
