    Tethering on the SIM ONLY One Plan is still unlimited, the 2gb limit applies to PHONE contracts on the One Plan

    Not on new contracts.

    So did they give you a discount?

    Yes they did...was paying 20 pounds per month and now paying 16 pounds per month.

    After much talking, the bloke looked at my bills and said I don't use much....about 400 mins per month....about 200 texts and about 3gb data per month on average....he wanted to swap me to a newer plan and encourage me to take a phone.

    So after about 40 mins on the phone, I came away with the same plan at 16 pounds per month on a 30 day rolling contract

    Good! Hopefully I'll be able to get a bargain from them sometime!

    to be honest they really are hard work.


    Bloke kept going on about my usage and how these newer plans would be OH SO MUCH BETTER for me etc etc.

    They really are persistant, have a cup of tea on standby

    Lol how could any plan be better than the One plan with unlimited 4g tethering!!

    Well I've had Ultimate 200 for only 2 weeks so I'll wait a bit before trying to get a bargain lol!

    You are both wrong.

    You are correct, the One Plan (now only available as sim only) still includes unlimited tethering, it is the only plan that does still include it.

    Not sure if my question can be answered here, but I've gone boss-eyed looking through old posts! I recently took out a 3mobile plan, just the basic £6.90 per month which includes 500texts etc., and have now discovered that these texts only apply here on mainland England, I will be charged for any texts outside Uk. Also, I sent a couple of texts to my friend in Australia, which she got fine, but her replies don't get back to me. I phoned 3mobile about this and they say that as she is with Optus and they don't have an arrangement with them, her replies will not be received here. Has anyone else experienced this? My friend says that Optus is one of the biggest providers in Oz and she'd very surprised if this is the truth, she thinks they may be fobbing me off - any ideas?
