And all the phone networks are advertising this as if it were their idea and a treat for all of their customers.
Aren’t 3 trying to do whatever they can to wangle out of this?
Not alone them, but yes
Three have found some loophole, which allows them to give you a specific data allowance for use in “Ireland and EU”, which then limits the data you can use while roaming to that allowance, e.g., Bill Pay SIM Only which allows you to use up to 2GB per month when roaming. A bit sneaky, if you ask me.
All your calls and texts are included though, whether you are roaming or at home, for €30 per month.
3 wouldnt touch them with your phone
horrible company
pay more to avoid them
I’ll second that. I’ve only had bad experiences with them.
Here’s a tip for unlimited data roaming in the States; buy a 3 U.K. PAYG sim, top up with £20, register on their site then buy a 12gb data bundle with your £20. £25 will get you unlimited data. Both give you 300 mins and 3000 texts to uk numbers. So if your traveling companion does the same you can keep in touch.
This article outlines how roaming charges are not set to go away for awhile, as far as data is concerned: http://www.independent.ie/business/technology/to-avoid-roaming-bill-shock-dont-listen-to-no-charge-claims-35800994.html
Love it. The EU really does such great work for the consumer. Roaming rates were outrageous.
yah! they are just the best the oul eu…mean where would we be without them
A stagnant parochial backwater, heavily reliant on agriculture.
Well its about bloody time. They got away with ripping us off for long enough
I got a text about this (from Three) and it says CONTRACT CHANGE at the top. I presume if i don’t like it, I can (given that terms are being changed unilaterally) tell ’em to get knotted and take my business elsewhere?
You most certainly can…my missus done just that,switched to Vodafone and in doing so had my contract uprated as part of her bargining tools.
Jaysus, she sounds great. Keep her. Just smile and do whatever it takes.
If it was only that easy
Ya wouldn’t go home to her short a fiver in yer wages…i do what im told.
