gd0nfn Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 If you get calls from three mobiles in the UK and they are on PAYG, the costs are to increase more than 50% It's now cheaper for some UK mobiles to ring USA rather than the Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Never mind, at some time after the end March 2019 most of the countries in the £1 a minute band will move to the rest of the world charge band. It may end up making MT look inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_manx Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 There are many on the island who are using a 3 contract and have left Manx telecom and sure. I don't know if the rates are the same for pay monthly 3 customers or are they cheaper. If it is £1 a minute to call local mobiles it can get very expensive for them. PS: The 3 website quotes it as £1.25 per minute ! On contract and 46p on PAYG! http://www.three.co.uk/Support/Roaming_and_international/Calling_and_texting_abroad_from_the_UK/__destination_details/1214306358083 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have a 3 contract, data only. For £15pm i get 12gb data (roaming) 20gb in UK. Works brilliantly all over Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_manx Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Looks good if using only for data or if travelling overseas but if calling IOM numbers then it can get expensive. Are you using a dual sim phone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 No a hawai USB dongle. Gives us WiFi wherever we go for our tablets, phones and laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm using a Vodafone data only SIM for UK and EU and a Vodafone phone/data SIM in my back up iphone. Great until I pass near Andorra or in Bulgaria where I'm sometimes less than 5km from the Macedonian border... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Is this manx telecom charging Three Mobile more or just Three mobile simply charging more? I know which I'd be betting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
