Three Like Home Question

Ties Brants · 18-04-2009, 18:25

I would think so:

3 - Help & Support - Mobile Broadband Help - Got a question?
3 - Help & Support - International - 3 Like Home - Pay As You Go

But i'm not 100% sure, I don't have a 3 uk sim card. But it worked perfectly with my Italian card in both Sweden en Denmark.

btw: if you are going to use a lot of data: Three Sweden had a broadband offer for 99 krona for the sim card with 1 week included (at least they had last summer) and then you have unlimited broadband internet. They have something similar in Denmark and that one should even work in Sweden. The problem is that I wasn't able to buy one, because they wanted a Danish ID card.

Ok, first hand info ...

3UK is working in Sweden and you can use your data allowance or your package or whatever you have activated.

I did used data in Sweden and no surcharge occurred while usage.

You should activate your add on before you enter Sweden through the 3 customer account web page.

(... it worked even in Indonesia 4 month ago)

Another Three Like Home question:

I'm spending a couple weeks in England this summer (Great British Beer Festival, of course!) and so was looking for a good PAYG data SIM. I ordered a Three mobile broadband SIM as it seemed to be a good fit for me.

Anyway, it turns out I'm going to be in Hong Kong in June (before England) so I, in theory, should be able take advantage of Three Like Home. But the SIM doesn't have any credit and it appears (haven't tried myself because the SIM hasn't arrived) that you can only top up online with a UK credit card.

So my questions:

1) How integrated are all the Three services -- that is, if I buy a Three top up in HKG can I top up my Three UK SIM? and

2) If so, can I activate a Three Like Home data add-on even though the SIM will never have been used in the UK?

I can probably have a friend in London buy me a top up and email me the code, if that would make it work.

Its not a big deal -- I'm only there for 3 days or so, but if I can make it work it would make life slightly easier. Especially since my UM and UM+ SIMs are not even useful as paperweights
