What tariffs to go for?
Some of the best SIM-only tariffs can be found on Three and they rate highly on our choice of network mainly because of this.
The stand-out tariff is The One Plan. This is a beast of package that gives you an amazing 5000 texts, 2000 minutes and above all unlimited data usage. This is the perfect tariff for heavy Internet users and Smartphones and is priced at just £25 per month on a 30 day contract.
On most other SIM-only contracts with 3 Mobile, you will get 1GB of Internet. This is more than enough data for the casual to moderate user however there is the option to add a further 1GB for only £5 a month.
If you are looking to save even more money then it’s essential to consider the 12 month contracts at either £10 or £15 per month. Again, there is nearly unlimited texts (3000) and 1GB of web data available on both tariffs. The talk-time is considerably less than The One Plan however; these tariffs will be very suited to low and moderate consumers.
Benefits of choosing Three
Coverage wise, Three tap into the T-Mobile and Orange networks and have their own 3G network so they cover the large majority of the UK exceptionally well.

One of the other major attractions of joining 3 is the free Skype to Skype calls and MSN messenger. Now, in most cases you would think it is free anyway but if you have a Three mobile phone and are using these services over a 3G connection then you will be eating up your data allowance or adding to the expense. Both Skype and MSN Messenger are great ways to keep in touch with friends and family overseas, working on-the-go and many other situations.
As mentioned already, the data packages that you get with Three are very good especially when compared to other networks. This is further boosted by high upload and download speeds as well as being rated as the number 1 for overall quality by YouGov.
Keeping track of your account is made simple with the use of Planet Three, which is a simple site that connects to you account via 3G on your mobile. For Smartphones, a shortcut can be set up to make it even easier to access. Planet 3 is free and allows you to check your allowance, view and pay your bills as well as manage your add-ons.

Just got the One Plan and rinsing out the data plan on my new samsung galaxy s2. 3G is speedy and transferring my old number was also a breeze.
