The 3 mobile network is available throughout eight countries and has over 10 million customers. In the UK alone, 3 has acquired 3.5 million 3G customers, up by nearly half a million since March 2005.
If you are after a good deal on your next 3 mobile phone with the latest technology then 3 UK would definitely be an option would considering. Three have just introduced a new Mix and Match plan similar to T-Mobile’s Flext Tariff. With the new Mix and Match Tariff you receive a monthly allowance that can be used for texts or minutes. For example with Mix and match 500 you will receive 500 credits. This could be used as 300 texts with 200 minutes or 100 Minutes and 400 texts, its entirely up to you. To make things simple just remember one credit can be 1 text or 1 minute.
www.3.co.uk also have texter plans. For 15 pounds a month you get 600 free text messages and 75 free anytime/network minutes. If this is not quite enough for you then you could upgrade to there £20 a month texter tariff which will give you a generous 1000 texts and a 100 free minutes. All texter plans on www.3.co.uk are 18 month contracts.

were averagecustomer service always very polite and helpfull and although unless through to sales staff are from india i have never had any problems understanding them or them me ..despite a thick bristol accent!..unlike most other overseas staff answering services eg b.t ..grrrrrrrr reception is naff! often cuts people off and yes i have fallen in the trap before of replacing handsets but haver since come to realize the problem isnt with faulty handsets its a unpredictable network.sometimes it wont let you make calls or regularly tells people ringing you your number is unavailable.you only know that this is happening when freinds tell you they couldnt get through or the phone seems exceptionally quiet.this includes not recieving texts too...resolved by turning handsets off and back on again ..real pain in the butt and has lost me work and is a source of frustration ..grrrrrrrrr.however value for money 3 is great and have stuck with them as its easy to get a contract despite me having a poor credit rating and because orange customer service is the worst most frustrating experience i have ever had..takes hours to speak to someone then they cant understand whay u say then u get cut off!ffs! 3 are menat to be improving there coverage hope that helps!

Don't buy from 
Totally had the same problems as Wut from Livingston, UK on Thursday, March 05, 2009.
3 are a total waste of time, you will never get a call recording out of them and they go back on their word.
Haven't been with 3 for 5years now and have had a peacefull and plesant time with 02.
Iphone Rules, forget 3 they LIE TO YOU!!!!.
Cant even give them zero stars enough

were Okay, but used betterI have been with three for many years, i have found them the cheapest when it comes to the tarrif, but as for there customer service!!! absolutely crap!!! The reception i have at home and other places is useless, so i cant always use my mobile. its not very mobile!!i tend to upgrade every year, in the hope that with a differnt phone it may get better reception, but it doesnt work. Ill probably stay with three for now,but hope that i dont get anymore problems with the phone as i dont get much help from the customer service team. Also i thought they were in the business of communicating! well half the time i cant understand what they are saying and they cant understand what im saying even though i have a very clear english accent. good luck

were Okay, but used betterI am using a SIM free Nokia E51 on 3's pay as you go service. It seems like a good deal to me, only down side is their web site doesn't show the call tariffs and claims free 3 to 3 calls... That is only free within your own country not to 3 mobiles overseas. A test call to an Australian 3 customer came out at a whopping 75p per minute.
The 3G data coverage is better than any other network I've checked and favours motorway and A roads. My village has two 3 masts, one at each end, which gives incredible coverage for a location outside a city.
The free Skype to Skype is an excellent deal, but watch out as only a few phones will work directly with Skype and you apparently need to download the Skype application directly from 3 and it blocks Skypeout calls to your own country. That is a bit sneaky. Note the excellent Nokia E51 doesn't have a Skype application available as at June 09.
Still 3 set the benchmark and others will have to keep up.

Don't buy from Very poor service. Customer service is absolutely awful. They'll promise you the earth, deliver nothing and then deny having said it. Try asking for a copy of your phonecall. It's hilarious. It's like talking to robots, you'll get the same shpeel over and over again which gets incredibly boring. I've been with them for 18 months and have had nothing but trouble. Avoid like the plague.

ROCK!! 
I got a new LG Viewty about 3 months ago from www.3.co.uk. I got it on the mix and match 300 tariff which is brilliant for me as some months I text alot and others I call alot. With this tariff I am not penalised for changing my habits. Plus when I phone another 3 phone the minutes I use don't come out of my allowance and are unlimited. This is a brillant tariff and at 15 pounds a month I reallt can't complain. I would recommend www.3.co.uk to everyone.
