3 Feel at home - calls between people abroad

HHarry

A group of us are off to America next month. We're all planning to get 3 PAYG sims so that we can call home using Feel at Home.

Does anyone know if calls between us will come from our inclusive minutes? I guess that if the call is routed via the UK it should do, because the call home is inclusive, and receiving a call from the UK is free.

Thanks, Jon

Yes, calls in a feel at home country are treated as if you are at home.

Had a discussion with 3CS about this recently who first said the calls were chargeable. Took 3 days and going up the ladder before getting the correct answer though.

I *think* you have to have been with Three for a certain time (month?) before this 'feel at home' becomes active.

I think this is for contract only, not for PAYG.

One month if on contract.
If on pay as you go it works straight away.

It's for pay as you go as well.

It works perfectly on PAYG and no wait time until it is active.

LOL. I meant that "being with Three for a certain time" was a requirement for contract customers only.

Thanks everyone,

I shall get my PAYG sim ordered.

But for complete clarity, add, and needs an add-on to work with PAYG. It will not work on a normal 321 sim just with credit.

It will, but at a higher rate for the calls, texts and data. They won't be 3-2-1.

As I understand it, on PAYG all calls WILL be charged at 321 rates from the start.
DATA on the other hand will require the purchase of a data bundle e.g. £10 of data taken off the credit balance as a bundle, to qualify for the UK 1p/MB rate in U.S.
Also OP said Does anyone know if calls between us will come from our inclusive minutes?
AFAIK there is no such thing as inclusive minutes on PAYG 3. It's all PAYG.
