There was something on the three forums on their website,but iv not looked for ages.

Kind of strange, but my DR sim is not charging me for texts but does for calls. It's been like that since the changes took place.

The texts could be sent using RCS which is free. If you send to someone who doesn't use RCS then it will be charged.

Was a regular text, definitely not RCS as I sent it to myself to my other phone.

FWIW my 3DW is charging 15p/SMS.

When I was switched over to this new tariff three included 100 megabytes of data and for some reason two free text messages have you made the third yet? We got nothing in the second month or following month's

I think Three do this on "new SIMs" to give you enough data to download the Three app and perhaps so people don't complain about iMessage activation texts on new SIMs before they buy a data pack (which iPhones send without warning)

I have a few of these Sims and thought I'd check them today.
They haven't been used since January so thought I'd keep them active.
Anyway I put them in a phone and connected to data and ran a speed test.
2 out of the 3 Sims ran the speed test up to about 200mb being used before cutting off. Speeds were good at around 80mbps
The 3rd one got to about 100Mb before cutting out.
Is it possible they've been reinstated? I'll check in a months time again.
All 3 of them had zero credit on them, so it wasn't that I was using up credit.

This sounds a little promising. One off data bundle was 100Mb.

Yes, but pretty sure I used that up, and would it still be there 5 months later?
