How to save at Three
Three is often regarded as one of the most competitively priced networks in the UK, particularly for high-data users. To get the lowest possible price on your next mobile or broadband plan, consider these strategies:
- Use the Three+ rewards app. Once you are a customer, you can download the Three+ app to access weekly rewards. These often include £1 Cineworld tickets, discounted Caffè Nero coffee, and various high street dining offers. The savings from these perks can often offset a significant portion of your monthly bill.
- Switch to 5G home broadband. If you are looking to save on home internet, Three’s 5G home broadband is often significantly cheaper than traditional fibre landlines. There is usually no setup fee, and the monthly cost is frequently lower than major competitors, making it a great option for renters or those looking to avoid expensive installation costs.
- Look for big data bundles. Three is well known for its unlimited data offerings. Often, the price difference between a mid-tier data plan and an unlimited plan is only a few pounds. If you use your phone for streaming or as a hotspot, paying slightly more for unlimited data can save you from expensive out-of-bundle charges.
- Consider a refurbished phone. Through the Three Reclaimed programme, you can pick up a high-end smartphone that has been professionally inspected and tested. These devices come with a guarantee and are much cheaper than buying a brand-new model, allowing you to get a premium handset on a more affordable monthly tariff.
- Check for student discounts. Three frequently offers exclusive monthly discounts for students through platforms like UNiDAYS. These deals often apply to both SIM-only plans and tablet bundles, providing a percentage off the standard monthly cost for the duration of the contract.
- Trade in your old device. You can reduce the cost of a new contract by trading in your current smartphone. Three provides an upfront quote for your old device, and the value can be used to lower your monthly payments or cover the upfront cost of a new handset.

By focusing on providing large amounts of data at a lower price point than many of its rivals, Three has become a popular choice for younger users, streamers, and households looking for flexible home broadband solutions via the mobile network.
