Does anyone offer unlimited tethering?

I would check that, they moved the goal posts, new contacts are capped for tethering.
I can see them ending existing contracts as well when they come up to minimum term.

Trust me, you're wrong.

Maybe you should read your own quotes. It clearly states 24 month only. Hence does not apply on sim only. Just like the free 0800 numbers doesn't apply on SIM only but does apply on 24m contract.

All other plans are subject to a data allowance with the package, unlimited data tethering is over on all plans, except to customers on existing contracts.
Argue all you want, that is that.

Well you're still wrong.

But once Three change the SIM Only packages then that's when unlimited data and tethering on 4G is gone.

So if you want unlimited data with tethering then the only option is Three's One Plan SIM Only. Once that goes that's it.

Sigh...........

Spacey, I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, but if someone has a SIM only plan on three, they don't have the 2GB tethering limit.

Is there something about that which you are not clear on?

From Three's Blog -

[FONT=&quot]"Questions you’ve been asking about our new 24 Month Plans.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]We’ve taken some of the more common questions we’ve had about our new plans across Facebook and Twitter and have provided answers below. We hope they help, but do let us know if you have any other questions in the comments section.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I’m an existing customer, can I get free 0800 numbers?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If you choose to change to one of our new 24 month plans, yes you can. To do this contact us on 333 from your Three phone. Directions to upgrade online can be found here.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I’m on a SIM Only plan, can I get free 0800 numbers?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Unfortunately not. Our SIM only plans haven’t changed at this time. For now, 0800 numbers are only free on our new 24 month plans. You can of course move to a 24 month plan if you wish.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Who does the 2GB Personal Hotspot or “tethering” limit apply to?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For new customers ONLY who have signed up for a 24 monthly phone contract effective March 18th 2014 with All-you-can-eat data.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Is there anyway I can keep my unlimited Personal Hotspot or “tethering”?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Yes. If you are a customer on The One Plan – the only plan that offers unlimited Personal Hotspot – then you will continue to enjoy unlimited tethering for the duration of your current plan.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]At the end of the minimum term of your current contract, you have two options:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1) Continue on your existing contract on a “rolling” basis, with your existing allowance.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2) Downgrade to a SIM Only plan which includes All-you-can-eat data with tethering (The One Plan is still available on a SIM only basis)."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]@Daz – You’re right Daz, the last day or two have been a bit manic and if we have confused any of you, much apologies for that. Yes, SIM plans haven’t changed, only 24 month plans. In particular, the One Plan SIM only does indeed still offer unlimited tethering."[/FONT]

Yes "our new plans" being the 24 month handset plans launched on the 18/03/2014.

As per the announcement "our sim only plans remain unchanged" hence these not new plans and 2Gb cap doesn't apply. Ask the question on Three's blog.

You don't have to believe me if you don't want.

But stop posting incorrect information on a website that is there to inform consumers.

spacey2012

You are quoting from the blog, not three's stated terms, however I think you will find "John" on the three blog has just been pulled on this blog and now admits and corrects .

SIM plans haven’t changed, only 24 month plans. The One Plan SIM does still offer unlimited tethering, however this is only for customers on existing plans. When upgrading, if you choose a new price-plan, your tethering will be capped at 2GB.

Anyway, for the sake of argument, you can be right, I do not really care .
However OP, you might want to check these facts dished out before parting with your cash.

Only EXISTING customers now get unlimited data tethering on ANY plan.
But as i am wrong apparently, ignore me, it is your money.

Oh dear Spacey - Why is it that despite actual evidence to the contrary you are so sure that you are right? You are actually wrong.

Also, if you don't really care, why are you arguing tooth and nail, while being clearly wrong?
