    Anyone here have a phone on the Three mobile network and are they happy with the service?

    My wife is currently on Meteor but she's looking to move to a provider with better deal on landline calls. She went to sign up with Emobile on their sale phone line but they later rang up looking for a 300euro mobile so she told them where to get lost. I understand they do credit checks etc but ours is fine - seems to be a common policy with them now.

    Cant fault it,i switched my broadband and mobile from vodafone to it and hardly noticed any change in coverage but far better value for money.

    15G a month broadband limit as opposed to 10G with vodafone

    the 40 classic option with three the best value bill pay phone account out there

    Same its fantastic so far,. Although I would recommend getting the full package off them,y bill is 40 a month, but I'm always going over my minutes and and up paying 118-144 they were the two bills I got so far, so going on tue unlimited one for 90 euro.

    That takes some doing going over 350 minutes,the 350 flexiunits more than covers my usage,my only issue will be on roaming costs abroad,trip to Prague will be the 1st test.

    No bother with them at all. I;m on 60 a month bill. 40eur would have been enough units but didn;t have the extra money up front for the cost of the handsets when signing up. Have had no problem with coverage etc.

    I talk am text a lot, I didn't think I done it that much, buty bill says different, I also have the free 150 text option too. I coach an under 10s
    Football team, so I send 32 texts at least 3 times a week and are more than one page usually 3, so I'd say that's where a fair few of my flex units go,. And then I'm a whore for talking on the phone.

    Thanks for all the feedback. They seem to offer good value on phones and call plans alright. The 40euro pm plan looks good alright including a free add-on. Any of you have the unlimited landline calls option and is it really "unlimited"? Thanks again.

    Some of their plans only have 3 to 3 texts. They have flexifix tarrifs which have free texts to all networks. They look very attractive but the phone cost is very high on those.

    Nope, just free 3-3 calls and texts I get, puity no one else is on 3,. :(

    I do the odd time, but I run out of those fairly quickly too, as I also organise astro turf once a week and do that online,. So i've to ring and up my monthly bill, so I can get more units,.

    Just Signed up to the unlimited calls and text and 4GB of data for 95euro a month on 3, as im only 4 days into this month and have already went over by 67 minutes.

    So for me upgrading my plan, its now only a 12 month contract, instead of 24, and I can also downgrade whenever I want. So cant get better than that,.
