Mobile operator Three UK has today launched a new range of ‘Three Your Way‘ plans, which allows new customers to choose to pay for their device over a 12, 24 or even 36-month period, as well as to choose one of three, 12 or 24-month Airtime plans, each of which comes with their own range of benefits.
The three new airtime plans are known as ‘Standard‘, ‘Plus‘ and ‘Premium‘. But at launch you’re currently only able to take the ‘Standard’ plans online, while Plus and Premium can only be taken while shopping in-store or via the operator’s Contact Centre. We’re not sure why they’ve done this, although we’d assume that the additional plans will make their way online eventually.
NOTE: eSIM is now also being offered as an option when new customers join.
The Standard plan is a fairly vanilla mobile package that includes ‘Free 5G Access‘, ‘Unlimited texts‘ and ‘Unlimited calls‘, alongside the usual choice of data allowances (capped or unlimited). By comparison, Plus gives access to Paramount+ (streaming) for half the length of your plan, as well as up to 3 years extended warranty (when taken with a device) and the ability to use your phone on your travels for up to 28 days a year (roaming in 71 worldwide destinations).
Finally, the Premium plan includes all of the above, but it also gives you Paramount+ for the full length of your plan and the ability to use your phone on your travels for up to 56 days a year. Screen repair is also included on 24-month plans, when taken with a device.
A Three spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:
“We are always looking for ways to deliver a better experience. As part of this, we are introducing Three Your Way – a range of new plans that will provide even greater choice, benefits, and flexibility to new Three customers.”
Sadly, we can’t see how much Three’s Plus and Premium plans cost without going into a store, but their Standard plans appear to follow the same pricing as their previous plans (judging by how much they cost on the SIM Only tariffs).
