Three Unlimited Data Plans

What unlimited data plans does Three offer?

Three lets you choose from a 1-month rolling unlimited data SIM Only plan, a 12-month unlimited data SIM Only plan, and a 24-month unlimited data SIM Only plan. Pick a shorter duration and there’s less commitment, but pick a longer one and you typically won’t pay as much each month.

These plans all also include unlimited minutes and texts, 5G, and access to the Three+ app, which lets you claim rewards and discounts from other brands and stores, along with offering presale tickets to festivals and shows.

But if you pick a Value plan then you additionally get a Paramount Plus subscription for half the length of your plan, and either 14 days of free roaming (in 71 worldwide destinations) on a 12-month plan, or 28 days of free roaming on a 24-month plan.

Finally, there are Complete plans, which are similar to Value plans but give you a Paramount Plus subscription for the full duration of the plan, and give you either 28 free roaming days (if you pick a 12-month plan) or 56 free roaming days on a 24-month plan.
