"Three has started to upgrade customers to its 4G network, and allowed customers to roam for free while travelling in the United States.

The operator will accelerate its rollout after the Christmas period as all customers with compatible devices will be eligible for the service by the end of Q1 2014, providing they are in a 4G area. Customers will be upgraded at no extra cost. The rollout started on 2 December across London, Birmingham, Manchester and Reading. A total of 50 towns and cities are planned to be covered by the end of 2014, while Three aims to cover 98% of the population by the end of the following year."

    Silly question.

    I'm thinking of getting a '3' PAYG SIM just to make calls to mobiles from home on (3p/minute beats everyone else) but only have a quite old unlocked Nokia 2323C available.

    Will a '3' SIM work in that?
    Their - possessive pronoun (owned by them e.g. "They locked their car").
    They're - colloquial/abbreviated version of 'They are'
    There - noun (location other than here e.g. "You can buy groceries there") OR adverb (in or at that place e.g. "They have lived there for years") OR adverb (to or towards that place e.g. "Go there at noon") OR adverb (in that matter e.g. " I agree with you there").

    No, that is a 2g handset, you need a 3g handset for 3 (eg a Nokia 3120 Classic).

    That's interesting. I was thinking of doing the same. Does anyone know where I can get a list of phones that will work on THREE or how I can tell if one is compatible?
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
