Three brings back ultra-cheap unlimited data SIM deal

Three has brought back one of the cheapest unlimited data SIM deals on the market for those in UK lockdown.

The mobile phone provider first launched the £11 unlimited data SIM deal last year and has now brought it back because it says it wants people to stay connected while staying at home.

The unlimited data SIM deal is available on a two-year contract and includes free calls and texts. The SIM is £11 per month for the first six months before doubling to £22 for the duration of the contract.

It also includes Three's Go Roaming for travel abroad and access to 5G. Three Go Binge is also included, allowing users to watch TV and use social media without using their data.

But how does Three's unlimited data deal stack up against its rivals?

Virgin Media has an unlimited data offer for TV and broadband customers only, but at £30 per month it is more expensive than Three's offer. However, it does have a 50GB data SIM deal for £22 per month.

EE is selling an unlimited data SIM for £33 per month but it also has an offer on 50GB SIM plans. It will cost just £10 per month for the first three months before rising to £20 for the remaining months. It is also an 18-month contract, which means user can upgrade sooner than the Three deal.

It may not be a major provider but Smarty is offering a £20 unlimited data SIM on a rolling monthly contract, which allows greater flexibility because it can be cancelled at any time. It does not include 5G but is useful for anybody who wants a short term option.
