In my experience it lasts until the end of the FOLLOWING day so you actually get up to 2 days

So apply for it at 00.01 on a Saturday morning and it'll last until midnight Sunday? That's a good deal for 50p!
But why would anybody pay £25 to get All-in-One 25 when All-in-One 15 is £10 cheaper? Only difference seems to be that you get 200 more minutes (worth £6 tops).

On the 3 table the 'Internet Daily Pass' shows 120 Mb at the top but 500 Mb at the bottom of the page for the same thing! Is there a mistake or am I being dumb!

No, 3 are being dumb by pointlessly repeating the info already given in the grid...and getting it wrong.

I think it's a mistake because if you click through it only mentions 500MB on the confirmation page just before buying it.

I have just 'invested' 50p to see what happens and then checked the new balance on my phone and on-line. The 50p gets you 120Mb of data (not 500Mb) -which expires on 12 April (presumably midnight) and it's 10:00 now on 11 April. I assume this 120Mb of data can also be used at a 'Feel at Home' country as has been bought as an add -on. I have emailed 3 to point out the inconsistency in their 321 pricing table.

The link directly above the "120MB for you to use the Internet on your phone" definitely leads to a 500MB add on. Presumably the description should be under the first link to make more sense.

They've also made a third !!!!-up: '£0.50 a month'.
Can this 50p add-on be used for Mobile broadband-only contracts if you run out?

It also advises 'if you use the internet alot, 500MB is available for £5'. Well, it depends how many days a month you need it. If you use alot but only at weekends, then the 50p add-ons would be cheaper, and 5+ would give you much more data too.

Not to mention that 500MB on plain 3-2-1 without an add-on would cost .... £5.

The only time the £5 500MB add-on is of any use would be for use abroad on Feel at Home.

Except you'd get 650MB because.....

Also you can top up £5 online with Three and each top up gives the 150MB of data

But you'd still get 650MB if you topped up a fiver and then just used it for data

1p per MB, £5 is 500MB and you get the free 150MB for simply topping up (not buying the add-on), so 650MB as well.

:huh: I'm quite perplexed at this post; isn't that exactly what I've just implied?
