I have been using the Ovivomobile Freedom Plan since January. No complaints so far. Three Mobile 321 would be useful if the free allowances run out.
Could not find their tariff for calling abroad. Does anyone know?!

Go to http://ovivomobile.com/pricing/

Scroll down, second heading from the bottom is "Calls to abroad" with a drop down list of countries.

In case you meant Three's tariff

Go to Three site, click Support tab, click International charges (under Roaming and International), then on right hand side under Most viewed click Calling abroad from the UK.

New 3 plan - if you are going to use 50MB in any day, get the Internet Daily 'add on' 50p for 120MB or the (stupid) 500MB for £5 - valid 30 days, use it or lose it !

Well they had to alter (or scrap) the daily add-on, as it had just become completely redundant compared with the new ordinary tariff

Just for a few days the choice was:

1p per MB
50p for 50 MB

That was I, who made a high level enquiry to 3 with the new plan as Flat12 Flext700 users still get 2GB data for £5 and calls cheaper than 3p and I would give up 3000 free texts for 3/4 less data moving to the new plan, and per MB the data add ons on the newest 3-2-1 plan offered no value as they were the same price as the per MB but time restricted by 30 days ??

So effectively I am paying £30 for 30 days and penalised for such on 2 counts (mins/MB) before even my free texts are taken into consideration as a high user movimg to3-2-1 but even 3-2-1 low users got no incentive to buy 50MB/500MB add ons for data. 120MB I am told is a interm measure just upping the software from 50MB to 120MB.

3's add ons are being revamped this weekend between Sat & Monday morning. So buy them add ons before Sat 6pm onwards from then till 8am Monday add-ons expiring during this period and needing to be renewed have to call 3 before Sat 6pm to have them manually cancelled and new 30 days re-activated BEFORE the Sat 6pm deadline or no new add-ons can be bought until Monday 8am. You may lose a couple of days on your expiring add-on but 3 will credit this to you when early cancelling the add on and renewing as above^


No idea what the add on revamp bundles are/is, infact its senior head office only staff who are in the know so far. Hopefully per MB and the revamped £5 add ons charges (or new ones) will allow tethering and ALL YOU CAN EAT is blocked tethering alone, you never know 3 might get brave and give AYCE as a add on on its own with or without tethering. Time will tell...

Monday might be a VERY good day for UK TELECOMS given the 3-2-1 plan already sha*t on every one of the big 4 major mobile telcos payg charges for ultra low users. The landline is DEAD if payg get AYCE tethering add on, WITH or minus the all-in-one mins/texts.


Roll on Monday....

Thanks onzey for the link.
Calls to mobiles abroad are higher compared to many others.
France Mobile 10p
Germany Mobile 12p
France/Germany Landline 3p

Strangley enough, at 3p (mobile or landline), calls to far away places like India or China, is the same as for UK !

This new offer for Three is a winner but I still have to put up with carrying at least two SIMs plus another one for data.
May be one of those multi-SIM phones at eBay is the way to go! Has anyone tried them?!

Use in conjunction with a cheaper supplier like https://www.localphone.com thats offers a uk geographical access number.

Eg 3p a minute to call access number plus 3.8 p minute = 6.8p a minute to call German Mobile.

yeah! I haven't tried their 'Local Numbers' facility but have been using their VoIP services for a long time. Localphone is a UK based company and unlike Betamax owned companies, offer reliable service.
