Title: Three to offer free 0800, 0808 and 0500 on new plans Post by: korny88 on March 18, 2014, 02:50:06 PM According to this page here at 3:

Also, they state all calls to 0871, 0872, 0843 and 0844 will be charged at 5p. Interesting considering some 0871 and 0872 cost more than that regularly.

Not bad at all if it turns out to be the case. Even better if they apply such a charge to PAYG.

Dave,Do you have anything interesting to do with inclusive 084 and 087 numbers? -NS Title: Re: Three to offer free 0800, 0808 and 0500 on new plans Post by: davegr on March 18, 2014, 06:49:03 PM Of course I do but I don't think this is the place to discuss ;) Check your PM.

There seems to be some confusion about this, however: I have just seen on the Three blog that the One Plan Sim Only will still offer unlimited tethering. ;) http://blog.three.co.uk/2014/03/18/three-make-0800-numbers-free-on-new-pay-monthly-plans/ A few more changes in the new plans: in addition to 'free' 0800 / 0500 calls, some plans also appear to be offering "All-you-can-eat" minutes and "all-you-can-eat" texts (commercial response to Vodafone Red?) I hope to get some clarification today as to whether those descriptions truly reflect what will be available to Three customers...so far, I have not been able to find any mention of any FUPs. Free Three to Three minutes no longer seem to be included in any of the new plans. |
