Three review
Three is known for big data allowances and is now part of VodafoneThree, sharing masts with Vodafone.
Three’s April rise depends on your data: £1.80 a month up to 4GB, £1.90 for 5–99GB and £2.30 for 100GB and above (contracts from 9 November 2025). Go Roam costs £2.75 a day for new customers from 18 December 2025, but is included on Your Way Value and Complete. SMARTY and iD Mobile use Three’s masts.
