*Data is capped at 25GB when using it in the 16 countries
*You can't use your phone as a personal hotspot (tethering).
*Three restricts your ability to use your data allowance for file-sharing (like peer to peer download services) and using certain sites to download or share large files.
*You should be able to stream and connect to VPNs, but you'll find this is slower and the quality won't be as good as it is in the UK. For example, Three doesn't recommend streaming TV programmes and films.
*Other Add-ons that include video or audio content (such as TV, music or games) can’t be used either when you’re in a Feel At Home destination.

      Hi Porthos

      This is a UK sim card - and its primarily to be used in the UK - where you will receive Unlimited Data. However, an added bonus of this sim card and what makes it great for travellers, is that the Data can be used in 16 other countries.

        Is the 'unlimited' data capped or not ???

          Hi Jv

          Within the UK - the data is NOT capped.

      • Nousernamehere on 27/11/2014 - 23:37

        Ok, that makes more sense then.

        Maybe you should say 'when using it in the 16 other countries? (Unlimited data applies only to the UK).

        Or something like that.

      *Unlimited Data is capped at 25GB when using it in the 16 countries

      Does this mean the data is capped at 25GB across all 16 countries or 25GB for each country?

        • EarlyBird on 28/11/2014 - 00:12

          Do you still retain the unlimited data and the local call time for the UK when you travel to and fro across the other countries?

    Australia is one of the 16 countries.

    Be careful NOT to try out the sim in Australia if you don't fly out for 30 days.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 27/11/2014 - 23:42

      Hi Eeples

      That is correct, Australia is noted as one of the 16 countries, and in order to inform our customers we specially place a sticker on the packaging informing customers that their 30 days will commence from the point that they first insert the sim card in their phone.

    • jv on 27/11/2014 - 23:44

      The data is capped at 25GB in the 16 "Feel at Home" countries. We have revised our description, hopefully it is more clear now.

        So how should I (and perhaps others) interpret the above - particularly the second dot point?

        I would suggest further "revision" (ie clarification) is called for.

        I would then be happy to revoke my neg, which was based on your original, clearly misleading, statement.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 28/11/2014 - 00:00

      Hi marquise

      Most definitely a great value, especially if you are traveling to the UK and any of the other 16 Feel at Home countries. We believe that it is better to use a Local Simcard - then any Travel Sim where possible.

      Hi marialouise314

      No worries, happy to make things easier and convenient. You will also receive your phone number when you receive your sim cards in the mail, hence you can provide the phone numbers to your family and friends before you depart Australia :)

  • High on 27/11/2014 - 23:53

    Feel At Home is intended for our UK customers who are visiting one of the destinations for short trips, like holidays or business trips. If you only use your plan in a Feel At Home destination for a complete month, and this happens three times within a year, we may have to suspend international roaming on your account, which would mean you wouldn’t be able to use your phone or device abroad anymore. We’d let you know if this were likely to happen. If you spend a full month abroad but some of that time is spent in a destination that isn’t included in Feel At Home, the restriction won’t apply.

    So basically you can use this sim continuously for 3 months in Australia at 25GB data per month, before you get suspended "overseas" use?
    Cheapest recharge(to get 25GB) looks like £18.00 which comes to $33.xx pm so will definitely have merits for some people…

    • Eeples on 27/11/2014 - 23:56

      …but no tethering here.

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 28/11/2014 - 00:04

        Hi junoz86

        The sim card is primarily to be used in the UK, with the added bonus of the "Feel at Home" feature for short-term travelers. We do not encourage purchasing the sim card and using it for long-term domestic use in Australia.

  • illumination on 28/11/2014 - 00:17

    I think this card has fantastic value.
    For anyone questioning the wording, well… fine I guess technically this shouldn't be called "unlimited" as if it is unlimited in all 16 countries, but as long as you read the fine print then you should be fine.

    In fact, reading the fine print should be standard for anyone purchasing anything.

    Only thing I find odd is that the method of activation is literally to put the SIM in your phone (and I assume switch it on too - surely it won't activate if you don't turn it on?)

    Is there no way that activation can be manually triggered online, or by making a phone call?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 28/11/2014 - 00:26

      Hi illumination

      The sim is actually activated when the phone first connects to a network. However, to avoid our customers accidentally turning on their phone in Australia, and having their 30 days start earlier then anticipated - we just state the sim card is activated when the sim card is first inserted in the phone.

      We have previously had instances where the customer has inserted the sim card in their phone in Australia as soon as they got the sim card from us, and unfortunately their 30days had lapsed by the time they reached the UK.

  • navyblues on 28/11/2014 - 00:34

    Hi Rep, sounds like this will suit my needs well. I'm going to be in the UK for most of the time, but I'm going to countries like Germany and Italy as well- I am right in saying that I would need to buy 10 pounds worth of credit (or how ever much) if I wanted make calls or texts in those countries? i.e me in germany, text a friend in germany.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 28/11/2014 - 00:41

      hi navyblues

      Yes that is correct, you will need to add credit. Please review the Three website for all tariff charges. Alternatively we have a local German sim card noted on our website which may be more suitable when you are in Germany.

    Can I just say that i got this prepaid sim just recently for my uk, italy and france trip and the 3 network it uses is total crap, you lose data connection so often when you go into buildings, coverage is bad, you don't get 4g access despite being in 4g area (i tried in london). As soon as u get close to a tube station in london, it loses connection.

    It seems the 3 network is bad around the world. I just used wifi when possible.

    Id rather get a sim from vodafone directly if u can. I was very tempted to throw away this sim and get one from the UK, but im cheap and already paid $40 for this sim card

  • [Deactivated] on 28/11/2014 - 09:57

    Does the simcard have any expiry date? I am traveling to Europe in July 2015 and I need to know whether the simcards will be valid until then.

  • iceshadow on 29/11/2014 - 15:52

    I just came back from the UK/Europe and used the excat same sim that is being sold here with no problems. It is basically the "All in One £15" deal from Three UK. http://store.three.co.uk/view/searchSimOnly?tariff=112

    I used it in UK, France and Italy with no problems. However just remember that you CANNOT use the sim for teethering anywhere even in the UK (I asked at the Three store) and that the included minutes and texts are only to UK numbers.

    • hayne on 29/11/2014 - 16:04

      OP, can you confirm whether the SIM can be used for tethering in the UK? Your description suggests it can. Thanks

  • jsjc on 29/11/2014 - 23:24

    Bought this with the last deal, it's a great card. Activated it in Aus just before I left simply by putting it in my phone, couldn't be simpler. Used in France, Austria, Italy where you get free data and also in Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic no problems. 3G signal only (could just be my phone bands - Aus iPhone 5s)

    ONLY ISSUE: Seriously difficult to top up: you need a UK bank card. I ended up paying a service to top it up for me but it's no walk in the park (unless you're actually in the UK then you can just buy a physical voucher)

  • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 30/11/2014 - 21:44
