No fluff, just the good stuff. Three have MHz and are the only UK network to have that much. To enjoy lightning quick 5G, you need a phone that can support it. Many big-name Android brands have already released 5G devices, including Samsung, Oppo, Huawei and LG, with more expected to launch later this year.
The list above, of officially supported phones guaranteed to work on iD Mobile's 5G network. If you're phone is not on the list, there's no need to worry. We're working to offically roll out 5G to as many phones as possible over the coming months. Please note: 5G is not currently available on iPhone; however, we're working hard to get it live as soon as possible!
You can check if your area has 5G by using our network coverage checker. If your 5G enabled android phone is supported by iD Mobile's 5G network, you should automatically connect when in a 5G area.
Once you've done the above, you might need to give your phone a quick restart by turning it off and on again. Check back here for updates over the coming months. Where 4G had a maximum download speed of Mbps, 5G can achieve an impressive 10Gbps!
Unfortunately, not at the moment - you will only be able to use 5G in the UK. A more generous data plan would allow you to take full advantage of what 5G has to offer. Unfortunately, 5G requires a 5G enabled phone for you access it. You can check out our 4G Calling page to see a list of all our 4G Calling enabled phones.
It's fine for checking emails, browsing Facebook and watching videos on YouTube, but it can sometimes take a while to load. This isn't the case with 4G. Rank: Joint 4th. Same as or better than: EE, Sky and all others. You can use anything up to your entire data allowance for tethering on Three. We did quite a simple test. Turned on personal hotspot on our phone with the Three test SIM card in it and try and connect a laptop.
Like all tethering over a mobile network, there's a bit more lag than what you'd get over a home wired broadband connection. But for occasional use when you're stuck somewhere out-and-about without WiFi, it's perfectly passable. We do think coverage could be a problem for tethering on the road or on train journeys though. The only limit is when you take your Three SIM abroad.
In the EU you can only tether if you're on an unlimited data plan. Anywhere else or on other plans you can't tether abroad at all - without buying a Data Passport for a fixed daily cost.

Their plans are a lot more low-frills. Especially, when you take one of their hidden plans in the dropdown here:. Useful links: Compare SIM only plans. If you're looking to get your entire family or a group of friends signed up with the same network, Three are an option but they're not the most convenient one read our family plan guide here.
There are discounts available to thank you for your loyalty and having multiple deals with Three. See existing customer offers here. But there's none of the convenience you'd want. Each deal is on a separate account. You can't just log in and manage them all at once. You're billed separately for each. And there's no clever data sharing or similar.

They're on regular month deals, with no financing or early upgrade systems like you get on some networks. You get all the same pay monthly benefits you'd get in the benefits section of our review.

Three are no longer our favourite choice for pay as you go. They used to have the excellent tariff, which cost 3p per minute, 2p per text and 1p per MB. For the very occasional user, it was ideal. Like a lot of networks, Three have switched to selling monthly bundles instead of literally paying as you go. But you can still do it the old-fashioned way by ordering a free SIM, topping up and then paying at these rates:. Price-wise, it's alright.
Although if you want the very cheapest, have a look at 1pMobile's tariff below:. See add-on prices. They're called Add-ons, and they're essentially a fixed cost bundle of minutes, texts and data that you can use over the course of 30 days.
It's a lot like pay monthly but you won't need to pass a credit check to join. Buying a monthly Add-on also lets you use those minutes, texts and data abroad in these 71 countries around the world with Three's famous Go Roam benefit. Compared to straight-up pay monthly 1-month SIM only contracts , these do work out a tad more expensive.
Useful link: How Add-ons work Latest prices. See all options. On data only SIMs , there's an impressive range of contract lengths 1, 12 and 24 months with data allowances between 1GB and GB per month, which stack up very competitively vs other data-only SIMs. Even though the overall price can work out less, don't be tempted to take out a Three phone SIM to put in a tablet or broadband device.
Three can detect this and will block your service, wasting your money. If you need a mobile broadband device, Three have one by Huawei that they waive the upfront fee on if you commit to a longer month contract. It's a very standard device supporting 4G speeds and lets you connect 6 devices at once. Useful link: See all mobile broadband options on Three.
Choose a plan. For many, getting a data SIM for their tablet or iPad is more just for the odd occasion when you're somewhere with no WiFi but want to get online. And so committing to a monthly chunk of data isn't worth it.
There's a couple of solutions: either you just tether off your phone's SIM but this uses up that data and battery or take a look at Three's pre-loaded mobile broadband SIMs.
Instead of giving you a monthly data allowance you're forced to use up or lose, you get a big chunk of data that you can chip away at whenever you like and at the speed you like within a period up to 24 months.
