| Monthly Charge | Your monthly charge will depend on the selections made above and includes a £5 discount for paying by our preferred payment method, which is by a recurring method, such as Direct Debit (see pages 8 and 32 ).

Our SIM Only Advanced Plan Prices
Each of these SIM Only plans include unlimited texts in their allowance. The monthly charge shown includes a £5 discount for paying by our preferred payment method, which is by a recurring method, such as Direct Debit (see below).

Three’s preferred payment method
New Advanced Plan customers (whether on a Pay Monthly Package or SIM Only plan) can only join on Direct Debit, and the above plans’ prices include a discount for paying by this efficient means.
Direct Debit is brilliant for you, as payment will be taken automatically and your account will not be suspended if you forget to pay. It is also the most efficient method for us. You should maintain your Direct Debit whilst you stay as a pay monthly customer.
You can change your bank details at any time, just let us know. You can choose any of the following given means of payment. Simply allow us to store details and you will remain eligible for the £5 monthly recurring discount. See page 32 for more info.

Outside your Allowance
If you’ve used up all of your monthly inclusive allowance and continue to use your account, you’ll be charged the following rates:
| Out of allowance cost | |
| Calls to standard UK landlines (starting 01, 02 or 03; excludes calls to the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands), UK mobiles (any network) and your Three voicemail (once you’ve used your allowance) | 65p / min |
| Data | Not available on a per MB basis – see our data Add-ons on page 11 |
- If you’ve used up all of your data allowance, you can choose to buy an Add-on which will last until your monthly allowance is refreshed (see page 11) or, if you find yourself needing an increased allowance on a longer-term basis, you can change you price plan (via your My3 account) to one with an increased monthly data allowance.
- If you’ve used up all of your voice minutes, you can continue to make calls and just be billed for these at the rate set out above – or you can change your price plan (via your My3 account) to one with an increased allowance if you find yourself needing an increased allowance on a longer-term basis.
Additional Services
These are the additional, optional or extra services you can bolt on to your plan and include our range of Add-ons, the cost of calling Special Numbers and our International Charges.
We may change or introduce new charges for Additional Services, or Services Outside of your Allowance. If we do, we’ll publish any changes on our website. If any Add-ons are affected which have a recurring charge, we’ll let you know at least 14 days before the charge changes. If we do make a change to an Additional Service and you’re not happy with it, you can cancel the Add-on(s) or stop using the Additional Services or Services Outside of your Allowance. If you’d prefer to end your contract instead, a cancellation fee will be payable.
| Additional Services cost | |
| MMS (depending on your phone, if your message includes certain emojis, emoticons or photos, you may be charged this rate for that message) |
65p / message |
| SMS shortcodes – mobile text shortcode numbers are 5 or 6 digits long and usually begin with a 6, 7 or 8. These are often used to pay for new features in apps, to donate to charity, to enter competitions and to download games and ringtones. | SMS shortcodes will not come out of any inclusive allowance and are classed as a Premium Rate Service. The network charge is £0.15 per message and the charge from the third party varies, depending on the promoter’s terms and conditions. These should be checked to find out the exact costs. |
Add-ons and Changing your Price Plan – valid until 26th October 2023
With Three’s Add-ons, it’s easy to customise your plan to give you even more flexibility and value
If you want to increase your allowance on a longer-term basis, you can now change your price plan via your My3 account. A change of price plan may incur a small one-off fee allowing you to use your new increased allowances immediately. You will then be charged your new monthly price from the following month. Changing your price plan will not affect your contract end date.

Using your phone abroad
As an Advanced Plan customer, International Roaming is switched on automatically on your account, so you can use your phone abroad, including in all 71 of our Go Roam in Europe and Go Roam Around the World destinations straight away.
The good news is that International Roaming is not subject to additional charges if you’re using your phone to contact a UK number (starting 01, 02, 03 or a standard UK mobile) or go online from any Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destination. It also won’t cost you any extra when in a Go Roam in Europe destination to make calls or text to standard landline or mobile numbers in other Go Roam in Europe destinations. Fair Use Policies Apply (see page 23).
However, when dialling international special numbers and in destinations not covered by Go Roam, additional costs will be incurred. How much these are depends on where you are and where the person you’re contacting is (you can find out more on page 23).
To help you manage your roaming costs when you’re travelling, we’ll text you information about call charges and roaming rates for each country you visit.
Calls to us while you’re abroad will be taken from your UK allowance when in a Go Roam destination. In all other destinations these calls will be charged at the rate for a voice call back to the UK. Calls to pick up your voicemail while you’re abroad will be taken from your UK allowance when in a Go Roam destination. In all other destinations these calls will be charged at the rate for a voice call back to the UK.
Did you know:
- We’ve also set up a worldwide data roaming limit of £45 to stop you spending too much. If you’d prefer, you can have this limit removed or changed by contacting Three Customer Services.
- Calls to standard landlines and mobile numbers made in an EU country are charged by the second and have a 30-second minimum charge unless otherwise stated in this price guide.
- Calls made in a non-EU country are charged per minute, rounded up to the next minute and have a one-minute minimum charge unless otherwise stated in this price guide
- Calls received when you’re in a non-EU country normally have a one-minute minimum charge and then are charged by the second.
- Calls to 00800 numbers are charged at 40p per minute, with a minimum call duration of 1 minute and are rounded up to the nearest second, fractions of a second are rounded up or down to the nearest second.

Is there any other information about Go Roam that I should know?
Use of Three Services in our Go Roam destinations is subject to our fair use policies. When roaming in the Republic of Ireland, fair usage limits do not apply.
These fair use policies differ depending on whether you are roaming in a Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destination and may be updated from time to time:
Go Roam in Europe
There are no fair use limits for calls made or texts sent to standard landline or mobile numbers within our Go Roam in Europe destinations or back to the UK.
Go Roam Around the World
- If you have more than 5,000 texts included in your allowance, you can send up to 5,000 texts back to the UK each month from a Go Roam Around the World destination.
- If you have 3,000 or more minutes included in your allowance, you can talk for up to 3,000 minutes on calls made to standard UK landlines or mobile numbers each month.
- If you exceed any of these fair use limits for any two months within a rolling 12-month period we have the right to suspend international roaming on your account, meaning you will no longer be able to use your device or allowances abroad. Of course, we will let you know in advance if this is likely to happen.
Go Roam in Europe and Go Roam Around the World
- If you have a data allowance greater than 12GB, you can use up to 12GB of data each month. If you use 12GB and still have remaining data allowance available, you can continue to use your data, but this is subject to a surcharge – currently 0.3p/MB.
- Go Roam is intended for our UK customers, who are UK residents visiting one of the destinations for short periods, like holidays or business trips. It isn’t designed for people who live abroad or stay for extended periods.
- As such, if you roam exclusively in one or more of our Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destinations for any two complete months in a rolling 12-month period, we may suspend international roaming on your account, meaning you will no longer be able to use your phone or device abroad. Of course, we’ll let you know in advance if this is likely to happen.
- If you spend a full month abroad but some of that time is spent in a destination that isn’t included in Go Roam, this fair use policy wont apply.
- In Go Roam destinations, Three may deploy traffic management measures, known collectively as TrafficSense™, to protect the network and to give customers the best internet experience. Find out more about TrafficSense™
- You can find out more about Go Roam at three.co.uk/go-roam. And just so you know, we reserve the right to extend, withdraw or modify the terms of Go Roam and/or the destinations of service included at any time.

- It’s important to remember that the allowances included in your Advanced Plan are for calls and texts to standard UK numbers, not international numbers (unless you’re calling or texting an international number within our Go Roam in Europe destinations, while roaming within a Go Roam in Europe destination). Our international charges for calling or texting vary depending on (1) where you are and (2) where the person you are calling or texting is located. The relevant international costs to call or text outside of our Go Roam destinations are listed below.
- The cost of data use abroad (when not in a Go Roam destination) is set out below (please note, the Bands are different for data use).
Internet and data usage abroad.
When you roam onto other international networks where data roaming is available, the charges below will apply (except if you’re in a Go Roam destination – see page 20 for more information).
The speed and availability of Internet access when abroad will depend on a number of factors, including which network you are roaming on and the services they have available – for example, 4G networks may not be available, in which case you may only be able to enjoy 3G speeds. Other factors which may affect the speeds that you’ll experience include your distance from the nearest mast, your location in a building, local geography and the type of device you’re using. Certain services such as audio and/or video streaming may be slower as a result than in the UK. For the latest information on which counrties you can roam in and on which networks, visit

If you’re roaming in a destination where our Data Passport is available (see page 12), you can also choose to buy an unlimited data allowance fo ra daily charge of £5 which lasts until midnight (UK time) on the day of purchase.
Calling & texting abroad from the UK
If you’re using your device to call an international number from the UK, the cost will depend on which country you are calling. You won’t be charged if you receive a call from an international number when in the UK.

Key things to note
We’ve set out some of the questions that we often get asked and their answers below.
About your Advanced Plan allowance.
Your Advanced Plan includes a monthly allowance of voice, text and data for use within the UK and in our Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destinations for voice calls (to standard UK landlines starting 01, 02, 03 and UK mobiles), text messages sent to a standard UK mobile number or data use. Plus, if you’re in one of our Go Roam in Europe destinations, you can also use your voice and text allowance to respectively call and text landline and mobile numbers in the UK and in Go Roam in Europe destinations. It’s worth remembering that if you don’t use up your allowance in a month, you lose the unused portion, as it doesn’t roll over to the next month.
After your monthly allowance (of minutes, texts or data) is used up, prices for use outside of your allowance for additional calls or messages are shown on page 9. If your inclusive allowance of voice minutes runs out during a call, we will charge you for the remainder of the call at the charges published in this guide.
How can I use my voice minutes?
- Inclusive voice minutes in any packages or Add-ons are for voice calls made either within the UK or while in a Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destinations to any other standard UK mobile (beginning 07 but excluding certain non-standard numbers
- see page 15 for details), UK landlines (beginning 01, 02 and 03) and voicemail (retrieved by calling 123 from your mobile in the UK).
- Inclusive voice minutes in any package or AddA-on can also be used when roaming within our Go Roam in Europe destinations to call standard landline or mobile numbers in that or any other Go Roam in Europe destination.
How can I use my text allowance?

Go Binge
Go Binge was available to customers taking our Advanced Plans with a regular data allowance of 12GB or above between 26 April 2018 and 30 September 2020. It is no longer available to upgrading or new customers. If your plan does include Go Binge, it provides you with an unlimited data allowance for streaming video and music from selected partners, as long as you’ve some of your standard data allowance remaining. You can choose to opt out of Go Binge at any time and use your standard data allowance instead. Go Binge is available for use within the UK and our Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destinations (a fair use policy may apply – see Three.co.uk/go-roam – To opt back in, just call our contact centre) but some services may not be available while roaming due to licensing conditions. Go Binge includes a range of third party services, some of which may require their own subscription to access them and some additional content, such as adverts, may come out of your regular data allowance. For more details of what’s included and how to access, see Three.co.uk/go-binge
What do you mean by unlimited?
Unlimited data.
If you have unlimited data as part of your package or with an Add-on, there are no hidden fair use policies within the UK. Unlimited data should give you all the access to the Internet you would normally need, without worrying about hefty bills. However, if you’re in a Go Roam in Europe or
Go Roam Around the World destination, you will be subject to our fair use limits meaning you can use up to 12GB of data each month.
Unlimited texts and minutes.
There’s no hidden fair use policies with our unlimited text or voice minutes allowances either when in the UK or our Go Roam in Europe destinations – we just ask that you use this allowance in accordance with our Terms for Three Services – that is, for personal use only and not for any illegal, commercial or improper purposes. In addition to these unlimited UK and Go Roam in Europe destination allowances, you also get 5,000 texts and 3,000 voice minutes to use respectively each month, when in a Go Roam Around the World destination.
How do you measure data usage?
Data usage is measured in bytes, this is then aggregated up into large units of measure
- Kilobyte (kB) = 1024 bytes
- Megabyte (MB) = 1024kB
- Gigabyte (GB) = 1024MB
- Terabyte (TB) = 1024GB
- Petabyte (PB) = 1024TB
All current data tariffs are charged and purchased as part of an inclusive allowance and / or as part of an Add-on which provides a specified amount of data you can use for a fixed price. Data usage is calculated based on the amount of data that travels over the data network. Please note that usage may include re-sent data packets and packets added to control the flow of data over the network.
Data is charged at each full MB level. Any partial MB usage will then be prorated as per the customer plan.
International messaging.
Messages sent from the UK to international destinations, messages sent and received whilst abroad, and MMS messages and alerts received as part of Three’s Alerts services are excluded from any monthly and/or Add-on allowances for messages. Your international messaging function is subject to services arrangements with respective networks abroad.
What will I have to pay if I want to cancel my contract?
If you ask to cancel your package before the end of your Minimum Term, you’ll be asked to pay a cancellation fee (see ‘Charges for other services’ on page 26). If you are outside of your Minimum Term and want to cancel your contract, there is no cancellation fee to pay. For more information, call Three customer services.
| Monthly Charge | £25 |
| Total of Monthly Charges remaining during the Minimum Term | £25 x 6 months = £150 |
| Less discount of 3% | £150 – £4.50 (3% of £150) = £145.50 |
| Cancellation fee | £145.50 |
Final Bill Refund
When you cancel your account, you won’t be able to view your bills on My3 or the Three App, so we’ll send you your final bill by post. If your account is in credit when it closes, you may be owed a refund. Any refund owed to you over 50p, will be refunded within 14 days of your final bill. This refund will be sent to the bank account linked to your Three account. If you settle your monthly bill by card payment, any refund owed to you will be refunded directly to your card.
If your refund is less than 50p, a refund can be arranged by calling 0333 338 1001, or by using our Live Chat service. If we cannot refund your credit and it remains unclaimed for a period of 6 months, Three will donate this credit to our charity partner.
Please note, not all types of credit are eligible for a refund. To find out more about our terms and conditions on refunds, please visit three.co.uk/
terms-conditions.
Is there anything else I should note?
Is there a maximum call duration that I should know about?
We may end any calls that you make that are longer than two hours’ duration, in order to prevent you from incurring excessive, inadvertent costs.
If this does happen and you wish to continue your call, please simply redial.
Can I set up a Call Return?
- Yes – you can return a call directly to someone who has left you a message by simply keying # at the end of their message. This is called Call Return (returning a call directly from the voicemail service).
- When using Call Return, calls are charged at your standard price plan rates or from any inclusive allocation, as though you had made the call directly.
- Call Returns will be shown separately on your bill.
- Call Return from voicemail may not be made to certain numbers such as international and premium rate numbers. Any call-barring restrictions you have will also apply. You can only return one call directly from the voicemail service. As soon as you finish the call you will be disconnected and will have to redial into voicemail if you wish to continue listening to your voicemail.
- If you divert your incoming calls to another number, we’ll charge you for each redirected call. The cost of the redirected call depends on the type of number.
Charging/billing.
- All calls (except calls to shortcode, premium rate numbers and EU roaming calls) are treated as a minimum of one minute. Calls of more than one minute are treated as lasting for their actual duration, with fractions of a second being rounded to the nearest second (this does not apply to some roaming calls, calls to Service Numbers and Special Calls).
- Calls to Service Numbers (starting 084, 087, 09 and 118) are charged differently from other numbers. The Access Charge element of these calls will be treated as a minimum of one minute. If your call lasts less than one minute, your Access Charge will be rounded up to a duration of one minute. For calls of more than one minute, the Access Charge element is treated as lasting for its actual duration, with fractions of a second being rounded to the nearest second. The Service Charge element is set by the company you’re calling and may comprise (1) a price per minute Service Charge;
(2) a price per call Service Charge; (3) a price per call Service Charge plus a price per minute Service Charge (which runs from the start of your call); and (4) a price per call Service Charge plus a price per minute Service Charge (which runs from 60 seconds after the call starts). If the Service Charge includes a price per minute Service Charge, this will be treated as lasting its actual duration (except if the first 60 seconds have been excluded), with fractions of a second being rounded to the nearest second. For example, if you make a call to a service number, where the Service Charge is 10p per minute, which is simply charged at a price per minute rate and your call lasts 30 seconds, you’ll be charged a total of 70p for this call, as the Access Charge element will be rounded up to a duration of one minute at 65p plus 5p for the 30 seconds of call time for the Service Charge element. - Each individual charge on your bill is shown with VAT included (where relevant) and is rounded up or down to the nearest tenth of a penny to make it easier to read. This rounding process means that the total charges you see on our bill summary page may not always be identical to the ‘Total due by’ charge you see on the front page of your bill because the rounding may affect the total of all charges once these have been aggregated to produce the sub-total before VAT. Don’t worry, this is normal and you’re not being overcharged or undercharged. The actual amount you need to pay is the one shown on your bill’s front page, next to ‘Total due by’.
Spend Caps.
We ask all new and upgrading customers at point of sale if they want to set a Spend Cap on their monthly bills. If they choose to do so, the cap will be applied to their account within 7 days of the request. The Spend Cap can be set or changed by the customer at any time – visit Three.co.uk/control-your-spend
Spend Limits.
We’ve automatically applied limits to the amount you spend on third party digital content and premium rate calls (including directory enquiries) and messages (including SMS shortcode messages). The limits are £40 per single payment transaction and the cumulative sum of £240 for payment transactions made over the course of a calendar month. These limits are set by law and can’t be changed. For more information, including confirmation of what types of transactions are affected, visit Three.co.uk/spendlimits
VAT invoices.
These plans are for your personal use only and are not intended for commercial use – this means that if you signed up to one of these plans on or after 18 August 2016, we’re afraid we will not be able to issue you with a VAT invoice in relation to this account. If you do need a VAT invoice in relation to your mobile account, please have a look at one of our Business Plans.
If you joined us before 18 August 2016, you may be able to request a VAT invoice subject to a few simple verification checks – please note that Three will only issue a tax invoice on these plans where it is obliged to do so, in accordance with VAT regulations. You can make this request by calling 333 free from a Three phone, or 0333 338 1001 from any other phone (standard call rate applies) and select the Billing option.
First month pro-rated.
Unless otherwise stated, your first month’s allowance and charge for your price plan or Add-on will depend on when in the month you join Three or when you decide to select your Add-on. Whenever that is, you can start using your allowance for your price plan or Add-on straight away. We’ll work out an appropriate allowance and charge to take you to the end of the first month. After that, you simply pay the standard monthly recurring charge or Add-on charge for a full month’s allowance. The exception to this is if you purchase one of our Add Personal Hotspot Add-ons, the first month of which will not be pro-rated. You will simply receive the full monthly allowance and be charged the full amount for that Add-on in the first month of purchase.
Rich Communication Services
RCS Chats is a “Rich Communication Service” that enables messages to be sent via Wi-Fi and mobile data. Mobile data you use when using RCS Chats will be deducted from any data allowance you have with your plan.
Increase to your Monthly Charge.
The Monthly Charge for your Package is the minimum price you agree to pay us for Three Services provided to you under your agreement, for the Minimum Term. Each April your Monthly Charge will increase by 4.5%. We’ve shown an example in the following table of how this increase will work. For example:
| Monthly Price until March 2024 | Monthly Price from April 2024 to March 2025 | Monthly Price from April 2025 to March 2026 |
| Price A | Price A plus 4.5% (= Price B) | Price B plus 4.5% (= Price C) |
| We’ve set out an example below, showing how this would work if your Monthly Charge is £20. | ||
| £20.00 | £20 + £0.90 (4.5% of £20.00) = £20.90 | £20.90 + £0.94 (4.5% of £20.90) = £21.84 |
You can create a personalised example of what your new Monthly Charge could be by using the calculator found on Three.co.uk/APC. This annual price change applies if you joined or upgraded between 29 October 2020 and 31 October 2022. See our Terms for Three Services for more information: Three.co.uk/terms.
Recurring payment discount.
- New customers can only join pay monthly plans on Direct Debit, and our plans’ prices include a discount for paying by this efficient means. Direct Debit is brilliant for you, as payment will be taken automatically and your account will not be suspended if you forget to pay. It is also the most efficient method for us. You should maintain your Direct Debit whilst you stay as a pay monthly customer. You can change your bank details at any time, just let us know.
- We cannot prevent you from cancelling your Direct Debit and if you do, you are still required to pay your bills by the due date. We will retain your discount if you give us any of the following given means of payment provided that you simply allow us to store your selected payment method so that we can charge you on your billing date each month. Don’t worry, you can swap these details at any time and on multiple occasions. If you do not permit us to store payment details you will lose the recurring payment discount.
- You can choose any of the following given means of payment. Simply allow us to store your payment details and you will remain eligible for the £5 monthly recurring discount.

- If you need help with anything to do with your Three contract, call us on 333 from your Three phone or 0333 338 1001 from any other phone. If you need help with your Device Finance agreement, log in to your Creation account and use the ‘Contact us’ form. Or you can call Creation on 0371 964 2010.
