How can I make calls & texts?
To dial a European number, simply dial: Country code -> Mobile number
For example: If you wanted to dial the UK number 0712345678;
You would replace the 0 with the UK country code (+44)
You would dial +44712345678.
To find the right country code, simply Google: 'country codes'
How do I check my balance?
You can keep track of your usage by registering a 'My3' account with ThreeUK. Instructions are included in your PDF guide.
No recharges?
This SIM can only be recharged in the UK or with a UK credit card.
If you need more data or a longer duration, you will need to purchase multiple SIM cards and swap them out as you go.
How do I find my new number?
You can find your mobile number when the SIM is inserted & active by going to your contacts and finding: My Number.
Is this enough data for me?
12GB of data over 30 days is HEAPS of data.
If you are planning on streaming videos frequently or downloading large files, then you may want to grab a second SIM card for more data.
Will my SIM work across all of Europe?
Our Europe SIMs work across 71 countries, which you can see listed here. Like your local SIM back home, the exact reach of the SIM depends on the local network coverage. We make sure we source our products from the biggest and best Telcos available to get you guys the best deals possible, but if you’re in a remote location, there might not be any nearby towers for reception.
If you’re concerned about not having reception in a particular location, it’s best to enquire with 3 UK about their exact reach.
Needless to say - the SIM will not work if you're in a country that isn't listed!
Can I use a UK SIM card in Europe?
Yes you can! Our SIM is from 3 UK, but allows you to roam freely between the 71 countries listed. This happens automatically as you cross over borders, and means you don't need to go through the hassle of buying new SIMs in each country.
With this SIM, if you're in the UK, you can text and call other UK numbers only.
If you’re in one of the other 70 European countries the SIM works in, you can text and make calls to any European or UK number - you'll just need to use the relevant country codes!
If someone calls you, they'll need to use the UK country code of +44.
