Direct Debit is brilliant for you as payment will be taken automatically and
your account will not be suspended if you forget to pay.
It is also the most efficient method for us. You should maintain your Direct
Debit whilst you stay as a pay monthly customer.
You can change your bank details at any time, just let us know. You can choose
any of the following given means of payment.
Simply allow us to store details and you will remain eligible for the £5
monthly recurring discount. See page 24 for more info.

If you’ve used up all of your monthly data allowance :
- If you or any of your employees need extra data, you can choose to buy a 5 GB Add-on to get extra data which will last until their monthly allowance is refreshed (see page 7). If you or your employees need an increased data allowance on a longer-term basis, you can change price plan to one with an increased monthly data allowance.
Additional Services
These are the additional, optional or extra services you can bolt on to your
handset and SIM Only Voice plan, and include our Simply Business Data Add-on,
the cost of calling Special Numbers and our International Charges.
We may change or introduce new charges for Additional Services, or Services
Outside of your Allowance. If we do, we’ll publish any changes on our website.
If any Add-ons are affected which have a recurring charge, we’ll let you know
at least 14 days before the charge changes. If we do make a change to an
Additional Service, and you’re not happy with it, you can cancel the Add-on(s)
or stop using the Additional Services or Services Outside of your Allowance.
If you’d prefer to end your contract instead, a Cancellation Fee will be
payable (please see page 19).

by changing your price plan. A change of price plan may incur a small one-off
fee allowing you to use your new increased allowances immediately. You will
then be charged your new monthly price from the following month. Changing your
price plan will not affect your contract end date.

Using Your Phone Abroad
Unless stated at point of purchase, International Roaming is switched on

all 71 of our Go Roam destinations straight away.
For a fixed daily charge you can use your UK allowance in any of our Go Roam
destinations to contact a UK number (starting 01, 02, 03 or a standard UK
mobile). You can also use your UK allowance in a Go Roam in Europe destination
to make calls to standard landline or mobile numbers in other Go Roam in
Europe destinations.
When dialling international special numbers and in destinations not covered by
Go Roam, additional costs will be incurred. How much these are depends on
where you are and where the person you’re contacting is (you can find out more
on page 10).
To help you manage your roaming costs when you’re travelling, we’ll text you
information about call charges and roaming rates for each country you visit.
If you need to contact our dedicated business support team while abroad, call
+44 7782 333 337 (unless you’re in a Go Roam destination, this call will be
charged at your standard roaming rate). Calls made from abroad to your
voicemail will also be charged at standard roaming rates unless you’re in a Go
Roam destination. Go to Three.co.uk/roaming for
more information.

Check Three.co.uk/go-roam for more information
and the latest on which destinations are included.
Is there any other information about Go Roam that I should know?
- There is a daily rate to unlock you UK allowance in Go Roam destinations. See page 13 for details. Use of Three Services in our Go Roam destinations is subject to our fair use policies. These fair use policies differ depending on whether you are roaming in a Go Roam in Europe or Go Roam Around the World destination and may be updated from time to time:
Go Roam in Europe
- If you have a data allowance greater than 12GB, you can use up to 12GB of data each month. If you use 12GB and still have remaining data allowance available, you can continue to use your data, but this is subject to a surcharge – currently 0.3p/MB.
- There are no fair use limits for calls made or texts sent to standard landlines or mobile numbers within our Go Roam in Europe destinations or back to the UK.
Go Roam Around the World
- If you have more than 12GB data included in your allowance, you can use up to 12GB of data each month. If you exceed this 12GB monthly fair use limit for data, your data usage may be blocked in our Go Roam destinations until your next billing period.
- If you have more than 5,000 texts included in your allowance, you can send up to 5,000 texts back to the UK each month from a Go Roam Around the World destination
- If you have 3,000 or more minutes included in your allowance, you can talk for up to 3,000 minutes on calls made to standard UK landlines or mobile numbers each month.
- If you exceed any of these fair use limits for any two months within a rolling 12-month period we have the right to suspend international roaming on your account, meaning you will no longer be able to use your device or allowances abroad. Of course, we will let you know in advance if this is likely to happen.
Go Roam in Europe and Go Roam Around the World
- Go Roam is intended for our UK customers, who are UK residents visiting one of the destinations for short periods, like holidays or business trips. It isn’t designed for people who live abroad or stay for extended periods.
- As such, if you roam exclusively in one or more of our Go Roam destinations (including both Go Roam in Europe and Go Roam Around the World) for any two complete months in a rolling 12-month period, we may suspend international roaming on your account, meaning you will no longer be able to use your phone or device abroad. Of course, well let you know in advance if this is 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 Go Roam, this fair use policy wont apply.
You can find out more about Go Roam at three.co.uk/go- roam. And just so you know, we reserve the right to extend, withdraw or modify the terms of Go Roam and/or the destinations of service included at any time.

What about destinations not covered by Go Roam – how much will it cost to
use my phone there?
It’s important to remember that the allowances included in your Simply
Business Plan are for calls and texts to standard UK numbers, not
international numbers (unless you’re calling or texting an international
number within our Go Roam in Europe destinations, while roaming within a Go
Roam in Europe destination). Our international charges for calling or texting
vary depending on (1) where you are and (2) where the person you are calling
or texting is located. The relevant international costs to call or text
outside of our Go Roam destinations are listed below. The cost of data use
abroad (when not in a Go Roam destination) is set out below (please note, the
Bands are different for data use).
To see the roaming rates you’ll be charged when in a specific country, use the table on page 12 to identify the band that the country you’re going to falls within, and if you are contacting someone in a different country (on an international number), check which band that destination falls into. Then check the tables below.
Internet and data usage abroad.
When you roam onto other international networks where data roaming is
available, the charges below will apply (except if you’re in a Go Roam
destination – see page 13 for more information).
The speed and availability of Internet access when abroad will depend on a
number of factors, including which network you are roaming on and the services
they have available – for example, 4G networks may not be available, in which
case you may only be able to enjoy 3G speeds. Other factors which may affect
the speeds that you’ll experience include your distance from the nearest mast,
your location in a building, local geography, and the type of device you’re
using. Certain services such as audio and/or video streaming may be slower
than in the UK as a result. For the latest information on which countries you
can roam in, and on which networks, visit
Three.co.uk/roaming
Band | Countries | Cost per MB |
---|---|---|
Data Band 1 | Monaco | 10p |
Data Band 2 | Benin, Botswana, Cyprus (North), India, Ivory Coast, Japan, | |
Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Yemen | £3 | |
Data Band 3 | Rest of the World excluding Go Roam destinations – see page | |
12. Maritime Networks (Ships, Ferries, Cruise Liners), Airlines | £6 |
Data charges are for data sent and received and are calculated to the nearest kilobyte.
Calling and texting abroad from the UK
Your inclusive allowances can’t be used to make calls or send messages to
international numbers unless you’re in a Go Roam in Europe destination calling
or texting an international number in a Go Roam in Europe destination. If
you’re calling abroad, the cost will depend on which band the number you are
calling falls within (see table on page 12). If you’re receiving a call from
an international number, when in the UK, you won’t be charged to receive that
call.

Key things to note
We’ve set out some of the questions that we often get asked, and their answers below.
About your Simply Business Plan allowance.
Your Simply Business Plan includes a monthly allowance of voice minutes, texts
and data which can be used within the UK and, for an additional fixed daily
charge, in our Go Roam destinations voice calls (to standard UK landlines and
mobiles), text messages sent to a standard UK mobile number or data (subject
to our fair use policies – see page 15.)
Plus, if you’re in one of our Go Roam in Europe destinations, you can also use
your voice minutes and texts to respectively call and text standard landline
and mobile numbers in and between Go Roam in Europe destinations. It’s worth
remembering that if you don’t use up your allowance in a month, you lose the
unused portion, as it doesn’t roll over to the next month.
How can I use my voice minutes?
- Your unlimited minutes are for voice calls made either within the UK or, for a fixed daily charge, while in a Go Roam destination to any other standard UK mobile (beginning 07 but excluding certain non-standard numbers – see page 8 for details), UK landlines (beginning 01, 02 and 03) and voicemail (retrieved by calling 123 from your mobile in the UK).

Go Binge
Go Binge was available for customers taking our Simply Business Plans with a
regular data allowance of 10 GB or above until 30 September 2020. For our
customers with Go Binge, it provides you with an unlimited data allowance for
streaming video and music from selected partners as long as you’ve some of
your standard data allowance remaining. Existing customers will need to
upgrade or change their price plan to a higher plan with at least a data
allowance of 10 GB or above. You can choose to opt out of Go Binge at any time
and use your standard data allowance instead. Go Binge can be used within the
UK and our Go Roam destinations (a fair use policy may apply – see
Three.co.uk/go-roam), but some services may not
be available while roaming due to licensing conditions. Go Binge includes a
range of third party services, some of which may require their own
subscription to access them, and some additional content, such as adverts, may
come out of your regular data allowance. For more details of what’s included
and how to access it, see Three.co.uk/go-binge
What do you mean by unlimited?
Unlimited data.
If you have unlimited data as part of your package, there are no hidden fair
use policies within the UK. If you’re in a Go Roam destination, you can use up
to 12 GB of data each month. Unlimited data should give you all the access to
the Internet you would normally need, without worrying about hefty bills.
Unlimited texts and minutes.
There are no hidden fair use policies with our unlimited text or voice
allowances when in the UK but in our Go Roam in Europe destinations a fair use
limit will apply – we just ask that you use this allowance in accordance with
our Terms for Three Services – that is, for personal use only, and not for any
illegal, commercial or improper purposes. In addition to these unlimited UK
and Go Roam in Europe destination allowances, you also get 5,000 texts and
3,000 voice minutes to use respectively each month, when in a Go Roam Around
the World destination.
How do you measure data usage?
Data usage is measured in bytes, this is then aggregated up into large units
of measure
- Kilobyte (kB) = 1024 bytes
- Megabyte (MB) = 1024kB
- Gigabyte (GB) = 1024MB
- Terabyte (TB) = 1024GB
- Petabyte (PB) = 1024TB
All current data tariffs are charged and purchased as part of an inclusive
allowance and / or as part of an Add-on which provides a specified amount of
data you can use for a fixed price. Data usage is calculated based on the
amount of data that travels over the data network. Please note that usage may
include re-sent data packets and packets added to control the flow of data
over the network.
Data is charged at each full MB level. Any partial MB usage will then be
prorated as per the customer plan.
International messaging.
Messages sent from the UK to international destinations, messages sent and
received whilst abroad, photo and video messages and alerts received as part
of Three’s Alerts services are excluded from your monthly allowance for
messages. Your international messaging function is subject to services
arrangements with respective networks abroad.
What will I have to pay if I want to cancel my contract?
If you ask to cancel your package before the end of your Minimum Term, you’ll
be asked to pay a Cancellation Fee (see ‘Charge for other services’ on page
19). If you are outside of your Minimum Term and want to cancel your contract,
there is no Cancellation Fee to pay. For more information call our dedicated
business support team.
Monthly Charge | £25 |
---|---|
Total of Monthly Charges remaining during the Minimum Term | £25 x 6 months = |
£150
Less discount of 3%| £150 – £4.50 (3% of £150) = £145.50
Cancellation Fee| £145.50
Is there anything else I should note?
Is there a maximum call duration that I should know about?
We may end any calls that you make that are longer than 2 hours’ duration, in
order to prevent you from incurring excessive, inadvertent costs. If this does
happen, and you wish to continue your call, please simply redial.
Can I set up a Call Return?
Yes – you can return a call directly to someone who has left you a message by
simply keying # at the end of their message. This is called Call Return
(returning a call directly from the voicemail service).
When using Call Return, calls are charged at your standard price plan rates or
from any inclusive allocation, as though you had made the call directly.
Call Returns will be shown separately on your bill.
Call Return from voicemail may not be made to certain numbers such as
international and premium rate numbers. Any call-barring restrictions you have
will also apply. You can only return one call directly from the voicemail
service. As soon as you finish the call you will be disconnected and will have
to redial into voicemail if you wish to continue listening to your voicemail.
If you divert your incoming calls to another number, we’ll charge you for each
redirected call. The cost of the redirected call depends on the type of
number.
Charging / billing.
- All calls (except calls to shortcode, premium rate numbers and EU roaming calls) are treated as a minimum of one minute. Calls of more than one minute are treated as lasting for their actual duration, with fractions of a second being rounded to the nearest second (this does not apply to some roaming calls, calls to Service Numbers and Special Calls).
- Calls to Service Numbers (starting 084, 087, 09 and 118) are charged differently from other numbers. The Access Charge element of these calls will be treated as a minimum of one minute. If your call lasts less than one minute, your Access Charge will be rounded up to a duration of one minute. For calls of more than one minute, the Access Charge element is treated as lasting for its actual duration, with fractions of a second being rounded to the nearest second. The Service Charge element is set by the company you’re calling, and may comprise (1) a price per minute Service Charge; (2) a price per call Service Charge; (3) a price per call Service Charge plus a price per minute Service Charge (which runs from the start of your call); and (4) a price per call Service Charge plus a price per minute Service Charge (which runs from 60 seconds after the call starts). If the Service Charge includes a price per minute Service Charge, this will be treated as lasting its actual duration (except if the first 60 seconds have been excluded), with fractions of a second being rounded to the nearest second. For example, if you make a call to a service number, where the Service Charge is 10p per minute, which is simply charged at a price per minute rate, and your call lasts 30 seconds, you’ll be charged a total of 70p for this call, as the Access Charge element will be rounded up to a duration of one minute at 65p plus 5p for the 30 seconds of call time for the Service Charge element.
- Each individual charge on your bill is shown with VAT excluded (where relevant), and is rounded up or down to the nearest tenth of a penny to make it easier to read. This rounding process means that the total charges you see on our bill summary page may not always be identical to the ‘Total due by’ charge you see on the front page of your bill. Don’t worry, this is normal and you’re not being overcharged or undercharged. The actual amount you need to pay is the one shown on your bill’s front page, next to ‘Total due by’.
Spend caps.
We ask all new and upgrading customers at point of sale if they want to set a
spend cap on their monthly bills. If they choose to do so, the cap will be
applied to their account within 7 days of the request. The spend cap can be
set or changed by the customer at any time – visit three.co.uk/control-your-
spend
Spend limits.
We’ve automatically applied limits to the amount you spend on third party
digital content and premium rate calls (including directory enquiries) and
messages (including SMS shortcode messages). The limits are £40 per single
payment transaction and the cumulative sum of £240 for payment transactions
made over the course of a calendar month. These limits are set by law and
can’t be changed. For more information, including confirmation of what types
of transactions are affected, visit Three.co.uk/spendlimits
VAT invoices.
VAT invoices are issued to all our Simply Business customers as standard.
First month pro-rated.
Unless otherwise stated, your first month’s allowance and charge for your
price plan or Add-on will depend on when in the month you join Three or when
you decide to select your Add-on. Whenever that is, you can start using your
allowance for your price plan or Add-on straight away. We’ll work out an
appropriate allowance and charge to take you to the end of the first month.
After that, you simply pay the standard monthly recurring charge or Add-on
charge for a full month’s allowance.
Recurring payment discount.
New customers can only join pay monthly plans on Direct Debit and our plans’
prices include a discount for paying by this efficient means. Direct Debit is
brilliant for you as payment will be taken automatically and your account will
not be suspended if you forget to pay. It is also the most efficient method
for us. You should maintain your Direct Debit whilst you stay as a pay monthly
customer. You can change your bank details at any time, just let us know.
We cannot prevent you from cancelling your Direct Debit, and if you do, you
are still required to pay your bills by the due date. We will retain your
discount if you give us any of the following means of payment, provided that
you simply allow us to store your selected payment method so that we can
charge you on your billing date each month. Don’t worry, you can swap these
details at any time and on multiple occasions. If you do not permit us to
store payment details you will lose the recurring payment discount.
You can choose any of the following given means of payment. Simply allow us to
store your payment details and you will remain eligible for the £5 monthly
recurring discount.
Your Rights – Complaints
Remember, if you’re unhappy about any aspect of our services, you should
