Overview

What is a Three Pay As You Go SIM?
A Three Pay As You Go (PAYG) SIM is a flexible mobile SIM card that lets you pay for your mobile usage upfront without being tied into contracts or monthly bills. With a Three PAYG SIM, you only pay for the data, calls, and texts you use, making it an excellent option for those who prefer managing their spending or don’t use their phone frequently enough to need a monthly plan.

How Do I Top Up My Three Pay As You Go SIM?
Topping up your Three PAYG SIM is quick and easy. You can add credit online through the Three website or app, set up auto top-up to ensure you never run out of credit or buy a top-up voucher at participating retailers. Three provides several options to keep you connected when it matters most.

Can I Keep My Existing Phone Number With Three?
Yes, keeping your existing phone number when switching to a Three PAYG SIM is simple. Request a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from your current provider and provide it to Three when activating your SIM. The process typically takes one to two working days for a smooth transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Three Pay-As-You Go SIMs Work With All Phones?

Three PAYG SIMs are compatible with most unlocked mobile phones. If your phone is locked to another network, you may need to unlock it before using a Three SIM. Most phones at The Big Phone Store are unlocked, allowing you to choose the network that works best for you.

How Can I Tell If My Phone Is Unlocked?

To check if your phone is unlocked, insert a Three SIM card. If your phone connects to the Three network, it's unlocked. If you receive a message stating that the SIM card is not supported, your phone is likely locked to its current network. Contact your current provider to request an unlock.

What If I Run Out Of Credit During A Call Or Data Session On Three?

If you run out of credit during a call or while using data, the service will pause automatically. You’ll need to top up to continue your call or data session. To avoid interruptions, consider setting up auto top-up or regularly checking your balance through the Three app or website.

Can I Use My Three Pay As You Go SIM Abroad?

Yes, Three PAYG SIMs can be used abroad in many countries, but international roaming charges will apply. Three offers competitive roaming rates, and in some countries, you can use your plan just as you would in the UK. Be sure to check Three’s website for specific roaming rates before travelling.

Will My Three SIM Work With A Tablet?

Yes, Three PAYG SIMs can be used in tablets, provided the tablet is unlocked and supports mobile data connections. Three also offers data-only plans, which are ideal for tablets, giving you data without the need for calls or texts.

What SIM Card Do I Need?

The type of SIM card you need depends on your device. Most modern phones and tablets use a Nano SIM, while some older models require a Micro or Standard SIM. Three SIM cards are available in all sizes, and our triple-cut SIMs make it easy to select the correct size for your device.

What Is An E-SIM?

An E-SIM (Embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built directly into your device, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. Currently, Three offers E-SIMs for certain devices, providing even greater flexibility with your mobile service.

What Is A Dual-SIM?

A dual-SIM phone can hold and use two SIM cards simultaneously, allowing you to manage two different phone numbers on one device. This is useful for keeping work and personal numbers separate or using different networks for calls and data. Three SIMs are compatible with dual-SIM phones, giving you more flexibility.

What Is A Nano-SIM?

A Nano-SIM is the smallest SIM card available, measuring 12.3 x 8.8 mm. It’s commonly used in modern smartphones and tablets, including the latest devices from Apple, Samsung, and other leading brands. Three Nano-SIMs fit all compatible devices, ensuring an easy setup and perfect fit.

What Is The Standard Rate On A Three Pay As You Go SIM?

Three offers a variety of PAYG bundles and data packs, meaning you pay for your SIM in advance and won’t receive any unexpected bills. Their plans often include unlimited texts and calls, with competitive rates on data usage, making it a good choice for frequent data users.

How Long Should My Credit Last On A Three PAYG SIM?

On a Three PAYG SIM, your credit remains valid as long as you regularly use your SIM—typically making a call, sending a text, or using data every 30 to 90 days. If your SIM is inactive for an extended period, you could lose any remaining balance. To keep your account active and avoid losing credit, be sure to use your SIM periodically.
