Does anyone know how the changes to 0800 pricing will affect PAYG users?

As indicated it only applies to new monthly plans.

In the official press release they say 0845/0870 calls will be 5p a minute.

But later on they say "From today, customers who sign up to Three’s new plans can call 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers for free, while all other 08 numbers, like 084 and 087, will cost 5p per minute. These charges typically range from 14p to 40p. Existing customers can swap over from their existing plan without paying a fee and can keep their existing contract end date."

So will 0844 and 0871 numbers only cost 5p a minute also ?

Three Blog confirms all 084x/087x calls will cost 5p a minute .

The new prices have been posted; http://store.three.co.uk/SIM_Only/Voice_Pay_Monthly

SIM only, £15 a month for 12 months. Wasn't that the deal they had at the start of the year before putting it up to £20 a month?

Except it no longer has the tethering allowed on the old plan.

And to add, quite poor value now compared to their cheaper tariffs for anyone who mostly uses data and texts and only needs 200 minutes of calls.

It's only £12.90 for the unlimited internet sim 30 day, so the 30 day one plan is £5.10 more, just for extra minutes.

This is where it gets very confusing, two people on HUKD have taken up today's new £15 deal with Three telling them it's unlimited but may be restricted soon?

In the words of that immortal song "There may be trouble ahead"

3 is quite clear as to what they intend:

There are also some changes to our tethering offering. You’ll hear us talking about Personal Hotspot rather than tethering from now on. With our old plans, using your phone as a Personal Hotspot was only included if you were on The One Plan. So we’re really pleased to let you know that all of our new plans will now include this functionality.

With our new plans you’ll be able to use all of your data allowance on your Personal Hotspot if you wish, unless you have All-You-Can-Eat data, in which case you can use up to 2GB of this on your Personal Hotspot.

We feel very strongly that all-you-can-eat data is something we want to continue to be able to offer as many customers as possible. But when that data is used for Personal Hotspots, it can put a strain on our network. We need to protect the network experience for all customers and this is why we’ve taken a decision to put this limit in place.

Really? The price was £15 this morning and now it's £20, they just make stuff up.
