Customer Reviews
Very happy with service, speeds around 3.0 mb. Not had the joy of customer services yet, and hopfully never will
Dan Hartshorn - Plymouth
When it works, it's fine. Strong connection and steady.
Occasional irritant is the struggle to get the wifi connection working.
And why THREE different buttons to switch it on?! When do you only want this partly on?

3-MOBILE are not trustworthy!
I do not advise people not to deal with them but to knows this fact from someone with three years experience!
PHONES
On paper everything looks the best in the market but I experienced intermittent mobile broadband signal failure join my phone and have left now to pay more elsewhere in three hope of better quality and lesso lies about " network upgrades etc". I also suffered dozens of nuisance calls for weeks from their Retention team owing me hot deals when I got a PAC code to leave...and that was a torturous process that took ages. As I told them, if only you valued and really looked after your existing customers instead of chasing new business so much you might not piss them off so much they just want to get away at all costs! Many upgrade offers are just old stock they are trying to get rid of for a fast profit...always shop around and NEVER accept what you are initially offered. That is 3-Mobile's game in a nutshell, as is apparently anything something but afterwards secretly giving less our not doing it. They rely on talking customers into submission and on their innocence and/or apathy! It is the Eastern way!
USB Broadband
Half decent service but with intermittent failure. Lost it completely for a month. Sometimes.Indian customer service may say we will put a credit on your account but thry will not...shocking liars, comes naturally, will say anything really but it rarely comes to pass, though the USB dongle people are better than the phone side.to be fair.
I agreed a deal for a laptop + MiFi yesterday but am calling back to check the entire deal & the vfull specs of the machine as I smell a rat. If so I will cancel and never deal with them again.
Your MUST take notes of everything you are told in detail and keep them all as back up for your case in future with 3-Mobile...a very tricky company indeed. I spent time in the East and know what they are like...not to be taken at face value I assure you!

3 Mobile Broadband gives you broadband using the mobile phone network rather than a fixed landline.
While other mobile broadband providers quote the theoretical maximum download speed of their USB modems (in this case 3.2Mbps), 3 believes in quoting real world download speeds. This is why 3's deals are quoted as up to 2.8Mbps.
You get the flexibilty of fixed monthly pricing and broadband speeds with the bonus that you don’t need a landline and you can take your laptop wherever you want (but don’t forget you can use it with a desktop computer as well if you want).
Worried whether you will get enough signal or it will work with your equipment? Well you get 14 days to return the product no questions asked (so long as you don’t use it for more than 3 days during that period) for a full refund, nothing to lose!
3 Mobile Broadband are now also offering some amazing free laptop deals with up to 15GB data transfer per month and contracts as short as 18 months!
