    Or has anyone even got a call from Three yet, as per registration interest. It's live from the 5th, so they should be calling now.
    I doubt they got more than 1000 entries from the website, as it was only posted on Boards.

    Is the only difference from what the originally has is the addition of unlimited data?

    Today I topup by €20, which gives me €22, and €10 the following month.
    This gives me unlimited (3000) texts, unlimited weekend (3000 mins) calls. And the usual, unlimited skype calls, 3 to 3 calls.

    But I have to buy the addon of 500MB for €5, which to be honest I never burn through on the phone, even though im a heavy user, with gtalk, google services sync (gmail, contacts, calendar, google+), facebook sync constantly on.

    Apparently free 3 to 3 calls too.

    Yes, the main difference is unlimited data which is included in the 20e topup. No 5e ad-on anymore.

    I got the text too :D From the sounds of the text though, I'd say we'll only be trialling it for free on Friday....was kind of hoping it would be a free month's trial or at least a week :rolleyes:
    Better than nothing though I guess!!

    Nah, it wouldn't make sense by trying it for a day. I expect that we'll get a month free at least. It doesn't make sense to allow people trial free data and texts and 3 (internal) calls for only one day. Definitely one month.

    Just got the text there too. And here was me worrying that I didn't get a call. Three always called me before.

    I'm excited. Roll on Friday!

    This may not be so great for me. I presume that because of this unlimited data offering that there will be no option to buy a data addon as there is at present?

    When I top up with €20 I get a couple of quid free and then €10 free the next month as well as 3000 free texts and free 3 to 3 calls and then I buy a 500mb add on for 4.99 for 30 days. And because I make very few phonecalls I always have enough credit left to buy a second data add on the next month so it really only costs me €20 every couple of months.

    Now to get data I presume I'll have to top up by €20 every month. Good that it's unlimited but I don't use the entire 500mb at the moment so that is not a particularly big deal for me either.

    No, no. If that is the deal, I do not see them removing the €5 add on completely. Alternatively, you can still buy a "broadband" add on.

    Yeah but it's hard to know. If a lot of people make the €20 topup last them two months, I wouldn't be surprized to see the add on at least go up in price by a couple of euros eventually.

    This is a great offer, which will hopefully shake up O2, Vodafone and Meteor. Pity 3's coverage isn't as good as Vodafone's or O2's, but it now gives people very little reason not to switch to 3 for those on competing Free Texts offers.

    Doubt it will O2 and vodafone. Meteor already brought out some new prepay packages and i doubt they will revamp them soon

    What exactly is the point to this "free trial" ?
    From 3's point of view they'll be rolling it out to everyone quite soon I imagine anyway ?
    They're already doing "all you can eat" data on billpay, so it's not like they don't know how much data people will use.
    For us is it just that we get a month's free access ?
    Or just the ability to avail of the tariff once we top up ?
