Three customers must follow this criteria to be eligible for new £12 social tariff

Three Mobile has launched a cheap SIM deal for those struggling amid the cost of living crisis. The mobile provider has brought out a new social tariff through its sub-brand Smarty which will see shoppers pay just £12.

Aimed at supporting its most vulnerable customers, the new deal is being described as exceptional value for money, with unlimited data, calls and texts, and superfast 5G at no extra cost. The plan is being offered as a flexible one month rolling contract, which means users can change or cancel any any time, giving them complete control.

It is estimated that more than 4.2m households across the UK could benefit from this new tariff helping those that need it the most to stay connected.
