How we charge for Data Packs and Add-ons
- Unlimited data with a Data Pack or Data Add-on means you have unlimited data. There are no hidden “fair use policies” within the UK. See “Using your device abroad” for details of what this means when abroad.
- Data will always be consumed from a Data Add-on (if you have one), or Data Pack before any available credit is used. If you buy a Data Add-on whilst you still have a remaining allowance of data on your Data Pack, data will be consumed from your Data Add-on from purchase until your allowance is exhausted and will thereafter be consumed from any remaining Data Pack Allowance.
- 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.
- Each text message can accommodate up to 160 characters. Long messages will be sent across numerous text messages and these will be deducted from any allowance or charged separately.
- Where a message contains non-standard characters (such as emojis), the message may be sent as an MMS. Separate charges apply for MMS.
- When you send messages to several recipients at the same time you will be charged separately for each recipient.
- Call Return calls (when you return a call directly to someone who has left a voicemail message, by keying # at the end of the message) are charged at your standard rates or deducted from any Add-on allowance, as if you had made the call directly. 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 you’re calling.
- We may end any calls that you make that are longer than 2 hours’ duration, in order to prevent you from incurring excessive, inadvertent costs.
If this does happen, and you wish to continue your call, please redial. - What we mean by a month.
One month is the length of time from a date in any month to the same date in the following month. When activation occurs on the last day of the month and the following month has fewer days, the calendar month ends on the last day of that month. - Your credit may be consumed for any usage you make in the limited time between purchase of a Data Pack or Add-on, and it taking effect.
This will be:
– Data: A maximum of 5MB or 10 minutes, which ever happens first.
– Voice: A maximum of 5 minutes or the end of the current call, whichever happens first - If you have a Data Pack or Data Add-on on your account and are running more than one data session at a time for example, both tethering and streaming we’ll reserve some of your Data Pack or Add-on’s data allowance against each data session to make sure that you can continue to use both of these services in parallel using your available data allowance. If you exhaust the reserved data for one session before you use up the other, you’ll start to be charged from any top-up credit, even if you have some residual data allowance left. You should therefore end all active data sessions when you receive a 100% usage notification to avoid top-up credit being used to provide data services to you, instead of your Data Pack or Data-Add on’s allowances. You can do this by toggling off/on the data service on your device, or turning your device off and on again.
If you don’t have any credit, usage will not be permitted until your Data Pack or Add-on takes effect. We will let you know when the Pack or Add-on has been applied, but you can also check this on the Three App.
Data Packs and Add-ons cannot be used for the following purposes:
- International calls and messages from the UK (excluding Call Abroad 200 Voice Add On)
- Premium rate calls and messages (including text short code messages)
- Reverse charges
- Message alert services
- Directory services calls

Using your device abroad
When you use your phone abroad to call, text and get online, charges depend on the country you are in and the country you are contacting.
To use Three Services outside of the UK, Pay As You Go Customers must first make a purchase associated with the SIM in the UK to ensure it is correctly provisioned on the Three Network.
Go Roam destinations
(Go Roam in Europe and Go Roam Around the World)
Go Roam lets you roam abroad at no extra cost in more than 70 destinations, whether using your Top-up credit with our standard rates (35p/ minute; 15p/ text; 10p/ MB) or with one of our Packs. To enjoy Go Roam on Pay As You Go with a Pack, all you need to do is convert your Top-up credit into a Pack to get an allowance of voice minutes, texts and data which may be used either in the UK or in our Go Roam destinations. Your UK allowance and Inclusive Roaming Allowance refreshes each calendar month. You can then use the allowance in the UK and any Go Roam destination to call and text the UK, and use the Internet, just like you would back home. Plus, in our Go Roam in Europe destinations you can also use your voice and text allowances to make calls and send texts to local numbers in Go Roam destinations.
Go Roam destinations are shown in the table on page 15-16. Note that Go Roam Around the World Extra destinations are supported by some of our Pay Monthly plans, and not by our New PAYG plans, where charges are as per the “Other roaming charges” table below.
When dialling international special numbers and in destinations not covered by Go Roam, additional costs will be incurred. How much these are, depend on where you are, and where the person you’re contacting is. You can find out more about International Special Numbers on page 10 of this Price Guide.
Roaming in other destinations
If you have purchased a Data Pack or a Data Add-on, your allowance doesn’t cover roaming in other destinations. You will need to top up your credit to use your phone in these destinations and usage will be charged according to the table below.
Charges whilst roaming abroad

The table below shows how your Top-up credit will be used when you’re roaming in a Go Roam destination. If you have a Data Pack or Data Add-on, we’ve highlighted in grey how your data allowance(s) calls and texts to standard landline and mobile numbers can be used at no extra cost. You’ll only be charged if your allowance runs out.

Worldwide data roaming limit
We’ve set up a worldwide data roaming limit of £45 (excl VAT) to stop you spending too much. If you would like this limit removed, please contact Three Customer Services.
Internet and data usage abroad
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 information on which countries you can roam in, and on which networks, visit three.co.uk/roaming
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.
What other useful information is there for using Go Roam?
Everything you may need to know about Go Roam can be found at three.co.uk/go-roam but some key bits of information can be found below:
- You can choose to use your top-up credit, a Data Pack allowance or a Data Add-on allowance at no extra cost in any of our Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destinations.
- If you’ve chosen to convert your Top-up into a Pay As You Go Data Pack or Data Add-on, you can use a portion of your allowance in our Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destinations, as described in our Inclusive Roaming Allowances section. These Inclusive Roaming Allowances 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
- All of your UK allowances may be used for calls made or texts sent from any available allowance to standard landline or mobile numbers within our Go Roam in Europe destinations or back to the UK.
- You can use your Pay As You Go credit or allowance to create a personal hotspot in a Go Roam in Europe destination.
Go Roam Around the World
- If you have more than 3,000 texts included in your allowance, you can send up to 3,000 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 limits, you’ll be charged in accordance with the rates specified in the “Go Roam charges” table.
- You can use your Pay As You Go credit to create a personal hotspot in a Go Roam Around the World destination.
Go Roam in Europe and Go Roam Around the World
- If you’re roaming in a Go Roam destination, you can use a portion of your Data Pack or Data Add-on’s allowance each month at no extra cost.
Your allowance of data is described in our Inclusive Roaming Allowances section. If you have used all of your Inclusive Roaming allowance and have a remaining allowance of UK data 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 won’t apply.
- In Go Roam destinations, Three may deploy traffic management measures, known collectively as Traffic Sense™, to protect the network and to give customers the best internet experience. Find out more about Traffic Sense™
Go Roam is designed for Three customers to enjoy their allowances both at home and in our Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destinations. As such, use of a SIM card exclusively to receive inbound calls in a specific Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destination may result in suspension of that SIM card. Our systems are designed to identify this automatically. If you believe that your account may have been incorrectly suspended because of this, please contact us.
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.
Other charges
Limits on third party charges
We’ve automatically applied limits to the amount you spend on third party digital content and premium rate calls (including directory enquiries) and texts (including SMS short code messages). The spend 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
Please note: Three reserves the right to suspend this service if we reasonably believe that you are in contravention of the requirements set out in our Terms and Conditions. We reserve the right to extend, withdraw or modify the terms, including this Price Guide, or Go Roam and/or the destinations or service included at any time. See three.co.uk/go-roam/information for full details on how this service works and additional details that may be of interest.
