In a welcome move for cash-strapped households, mobile network Three has announced sweeping price reductions across its popular SIM-only and pay-monthly plans. The cuts, which come into effect immediately for both new and existing customers, could save users hundreds of pounds annually.
How Much Can You Save?
The reductions are substantial. For example, a 24-month SIM-only plan with 100GB of data has been slashed from £22 to just £17 per month. Over the course of the contract, that's a saving of £120.
For those preferring pay-monthly phone contracts, the savings are even greater. The Samsung Galaxy S23 on a 24-month plan with unlimited data has seen a price drop of £4.50 per month, equating to a whopping £108 saving over the full term.
Why Now?
This aggressive pricing strategy is seen as a direct challenge to competitors like Vodafone, O2, and EE. With the cost-of-living crisis continuing to squeeze budgets, Three is positioning itself as the most value-conscious choice in the market.
A spokesperson for Three stated: "We're committed to providing our customers with great value. In the current economic climate, we believe it's more important than ever to offer competitive pricing without compromising on our reliable network coverage."
What This Means for You
- New Customers: You can sign up for these new, lower rates straight away.
- Existing Customers: If you're already on one of the affected plans, your bill will be automatically reduced. No need to call or change your contract.
- Out-of-Contract Customers: This is an ideal time to check if you can get a better deal by renewing with Three or switching from another provider.
This price cut makes Three one of the most affordable major networks in the UK, offering a compelling reason for consumers to review their current mobile expenses and potentially pocket significant savings.
