Three's Wuntu ending

Just had a very short text to say Wuntu is closing on 15th December. Doesn't bother me as I don't use it, but wondering what the reason is, and whether it's a sign of Three being in trouble.
:D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    I don't think Three are in trouble , but wuntu has struggled to provide offers that attracted people to use it.
  • Massively abused by people claiming numerous free pizzas or cinema tickets using free sims. No surprise it’s had no decent offers for a year. Poorly controlled by 3.

    Three definitely not in trouble, just cost them too much to run, if it was managed better then it could be decent plus if it had some good offers.
  • Yup....I have about 7 sims on the go.....free ones with the 200mb of data per month.

    Had loads from them....

    Pizza
    Coffee
    Cinema vists

    Shame it’s going to be withdrawn

    Never ceases to amaze me when people say things like this.

    I used to be solely on Three, but after the recent outage I got a GiffGaff SIM for my second phone and have been very pleased with it. That is very reasonable too - a £12 recurring goody bag with 10GB and unlimited calls and texts. Also signal coverage seems more consistent on the O2 network, at least in the areas I travel.

    Getting my PAC from Three was far from easy - got cut off twice (after the five minutes recorded waffle and "press this, press that") and then transferred twice before I actually got someone to agree to giving me it.

  • Im a low user. On payg,the £2 top up on the website,is fine for me. I spend £12 a year. If i get no signal,volt and wifi calling are fine. I no no other network who allow it on payg.

    About the best offer I got recently was burger and chips at Cafe rouge for £5. But I added a beer and the bill came to £11.


    Not sure if their easyjet free priority boarding offer goes too?
