Even though it has roughly a year until Ofcom's new rule comes into effect, Three has decided it will no longer charge SIM-only customers for making calls to 0800 numbers. The company today unveiled new plans that mirror its pay-monthly handset tariffs, finally making freephone calls free and capping calls to other 08 numbers at 5 pence per minute. Starting at £7 per month for 500MB and 200 minutes, rising to £23 per month for unlimited data and calls, Three's new 12-month SIM-only plans also include access to Feel At Home, letting you enjoy free roaming in 16 countries. While you won't be able to take advantage of the new benefits on your existing tariff, Three says you can switch across without having to sign a new contract or extend your contract end date.
While today's announcement will be gratefully received if you're no longer using a landline, Three has now also begun imposing tethering data limits on SIM-only plans. It originally scrapped unlimited tethering for new handset customers earlier in the year, but is now capping personal hotspot allowances at 4GB. Fortunately, for those signing up to a new contract when buying a new phone, Three says it will double the tethering allowance from 2GB to 4GB sometime "next year."
