  • That plan is only £15/mth now anyway so I would be very upset if they didn't at least reduce it to that TBH.
  • ok i have tethering as well.


    I understood thats a optional 5 pounds per month ?

    i may give them a ring, put i understand 3 are pushy when asking to disconnect or redeuce account pricing

    Is it?? Tethering is included on the £15/mth One Plan AFAIAA. It's certainly included in the 30 day SIM One Plan., which is still only £18/mth.
    Tethering on your phone.
    Tethering is when you connect your phone to other devices to use it as a modem so they can access the internet.

    If you're on The One Plan you can use the internet when you're out and about with other devices including laptops, tablets and games consoles, just by connecting them through Wi-Fi or USB to your phone. You can tether on all our One Plan tariffs including our one month rolling SIM plan.

    £20 with a phone or without a phone?

    Because atm it's £15pm without a phone and minimum £23pm with a phone.

    If you've been paying £5 a month extra for tethering on your One Plan then you've been ripped off my friend - I'd be ringing them up for a £60 refund.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    I thought tethering was only allowed on the one plan 12mth Sim only deal Not the 30 day.

    That may well be so, but the OP said the SIM only deal he has "just came up for renewal" so I think we are safe to assume it was 12 month not 1 month rolling.

    Yes he's been paying too much.

    3 have played around with this deal over the years (it has variously been £15-£25pm I think over some years), but the £15 per month 12 month deal has been out there for at least 6 months again lately. They record it as £25pm less £10pm discount.

    Can anyone confirm when it first became available again in 2013 ?

    Tethering is allowed on both.
