Can I ask where you saw this Roger?

Just that I've seen varying lengths of time for their top ups and feel confused.

One year PAYG SIM Card - 1p a Minute, 1p a Text, 1p a MB (1pmobile.com)

Looking for a substitute for Three 3-2-1, I initially rejected 1pmobile  as too fiddly.  However, they have an option of a 1-year top-up for £30: 

1p a minute, 1p a text, 1p a MB - top-up lasts 1 year

Join 1pMobile today with a £30 top-up so you are all set for a whole year.

Normally we ask you to top-up at least once every 120 days to keep the service active. With the £30 top-up we will not ask you to add any more credit for a whole year. Obviously, if you use all the £30 of credit sooner then you will need to add more.

Includes roaming in 46 European destinations.  This does look attractive to me.  I'll check how Switzerland is included (family reasons) before deciding.

I can't really see the difference between topping up with £10 every 4 months, or £30 every 12 months, other than it saves you about 30 seconds a couple of times a year.

Thanks I’m gonna do it £10 refund or multiply credit by five to £50. I will introduce the complaint bit as soon as they start to flim flam me and I’ve got their name. That’s if I can get through.

Good luck trying to get through....especially if they say theyre going to put you in touch with someone who can deal with your problem...Ive been left hanging on more than once...

Ps...I got an email reply saying they would get back to me with an answer within 14 days

Just to confirm that the porting of my number to O2 went through as planned yesterday. I had to wait until the system updated overnight before the new details were shown in my account.

I’ve topped up now and the tariff is showing as the Classic Pay As You Go one, so I'm back on a 3p, 2p, 1p tariff for the time being.

Interesting to see that the Terms and Conditions - updated only last week - make no mention at all that the 3-2-1 rates will only apply for a few more weeks.

For those who use their 3 number mostly as an incoming contact, or for limited usage, it's still pretty good - as the minimum £5 top up remains (others like O2 have a minimum £10 top up). Also - no need to top up every 4 months (as per 1p mobile), as your £5 credit does not expire, nor does your service terminate, provided you have 1 chargeable activity every 6 months - not really a difficult thing to do.

I have 2 numbers with 3 which I use for very limited purposes - while not thrilled with the new prices - 3 still suits my purpose at a very modest annual cost.

@merchcon55 @getmore4less There are two separate documents both for Tariffs and the Ts&Cs. The distinction is one is called "PAYG" (old one) and the other is "New_PAYG". Links to documents as follows -

@getmore4less You appear to have missed the point that @merchcon55 didn't seem to appreciate there were two sets of documents (maybe you missed it because I couldn't be bothered to type all the html code. Although both are on the page you linked, the point of my post was to highlight/emphasise that there were two sets of documents, which you could have done when suggesting he fixed his link!). This better for you -
