Re: 5G Router for home wifi
A cautionary note that Three never lets you own the 5G router and will always insist you return it when you end your contract. The 4G modems so far they just tell you to keep. 5G must be returned. Three kept pushing my monthly up yet new customers would get much better deals, so I switched from Three to, err, well Three. They sent me a new 5G modem but insisted I pay for the old one or return it complete. Fair enough I was getting a new modem but the agent was a little harsh wanting the box and all accessories for something I'd been using for something like 4 years. I did suggest I keep the old modem and they keep the new one, but that didn't comprehend in the agents head. You'll never own 5G!

Something Decembersangel said gave me an idea. Smarty block all things not paid for, or not in your plan. As short code is out of plan, have you tried adding some credit to your account and see if that lets you send short codes? Put say £5 on and test. Unlike everyone else, you don't lose that money either! It stays in your account forever/until used up and at any point you can apply it to your bill so effectively get it back. I tend to add £5 to my account to cover things like this. Decembersangel 'Visual Voicemail' is something that has been around for decades yet barley no network in the UK uses it so its unsurprising not many people know about it. I think only the very over priced networks use it like O2 and maybe one other? Basically when you click on the voicemail button you get a list a bit like an email list of your voice mail, allowing you to ignore and not even listen to your messages and just select the ones you want to listen to. When it came out I thought I really wanted it, but then the reality of how vastly expensive it would be (changing to a mega expensive restrictive account) in combination with I get roughly 1 voicemail a year, and the "I want it" soon became "meh!". 😁3.5KViews1like0CommentsRe: EU Data pass add-on query
Great advice, but I forgot to save the actual chat, although their response was perfect and to the point. Short version: I have an unlimited plan and while in the EU I have reached the end of my 12GB. Will a 3 Day Data Pass give me unlimited data? Yes. As you have an unlimited data plan, purchasing a 3 day EU Data Pass will give you the remainder of your plan or in this case unlimited data for 3 days. 😊3.5KViews2likes1CommentRe: EU Roaming
Thanks. I've since done some digging as was able to confirm things. So as you have said, buying the EU Data Pass gives you access to what ever data you have left on your plan. So in my case I have an unlimited plan, so once the 12GB is used up (YouTube + child + several days) I buy a 3 days EU Data Pass and I get 3 days unlimited data in EU, which is actually ok. I was able to speak to a support agent and they also confirmed, so I'm confident the 3 day EU Data Pass on an unlimited plan gives unlimited data. Thankfully the 12GB was only a few days short of the holiday 😋5.2KViews0likes1CommentRe: Roaming in Japan
Would you be able to give a rough idea what would be a fair price to pay for the eSIM. I’ve found a few but they seem very expensive so was hoping as you’ve done it before you’d have a good idea? also, how easy is it to turn off smarty data and force just the eSIM? I’m guessing these settings don’t appear until you install the eSIM?3.6KViews0likes1Comment
