Three, Feel at Home Service .... Great.

[Wooie1958]

Just good a good stint in France with a little excursion into Spain and the Three data speeds with whilst roaming this year has been great :dance:

Previous years saw atrocious / painfully slow speeds with several days just on Edge and just as many were we struggled to even connect :mad2:

I`ve got our Samsung phone set to automatic so they change themselves to whichever is strongest.

In France we was mainly on Orange F but the wife had quite a few days On Femtocell Orange which was better and faster than Orange F.

Spain saw the phones automatically change to Movistar which also gave good data speeds.

I've always found it good for what I want.

 

[Pauljenny]

And cheap!
I'm paying £12 a month. 4Gb data. Unlimited texts and calls to UK numbers. Tethering in UK only.

If there's a better deal... I'm listening ?

If you pay a little extra for an Advanced plan, you have tethering in EU also. I'm on a £15/month Advanced SIM-only plan and got more minutes and texts than I would ever use together with 12GB data with tethering. (However, Andorra wasn't included in the Feel-at-Home scheme)

3 seem to be sending mixed messages . I have been informed more than once that there is no tethering in mainland Europe

I can only go by experience. I used tethering to connect my laptop to my home network VPN both in the Netherlands and in France. I changed to my current plan in March, at which time the Three store confirmed that I'd be able to tether my laptop and tablet in EU and Australia -- something I ensured the sales bod knew was essential. However, they may have changed T&Cs for new contracts since then.

Thanks for the heads up. That sounds good, as we spend our winters in South Europe.
My contract is now 12 months old and I can change. They tried that " Advanced" trick , on the local 3 shop, last year. But were fibbing.
I'll have another look, soon.

You need the Advanced plans for tethering not the Essentials

 

[Fazerloz]

Yes there has been a vast improvement this time against previous years.

That's what I have

If we survive Storm Hector,
I'll go into the 3 shop.

Or should I cancel the monthly direct debit, just in case.
