Dedicated 3 Thread Mk III - Discuss Plans, Network, Mobiles, etc

i'll be talking to '3' tomorrow and will ask them again why I can't see my Roaming Data usage from My3 account, again I'll mention my BB sim is being used on a Nokia 6210 and does that have any effect on roaming charges

 

theres a search drop down that lets you see everything on 12 month plans
for the lazy (12m $49 caps) http://shop.three.com.au/browse/all...les&planId=prod2290038stg&action=searchByPlan

 

3 roaming on NextG is very limited.

It only covers (some) locations outside UMTS2100 coverage areas. If you start roaming within what 3 think should be a UMTS2100 coverage area, it's GSM only.

 

What the hell, that sucks ass! Very mis-leading by 3 me thinks.
So does it only go to roaming if you're in a 3G zone, and lose 3G connection? And all areas outside of 3's coverage map will give you Next G?
Is it just to stop people from forcing their phone to go onto Next G when they are actually in a 3 zone i wonder.

 

iPhone 3GS appears to be available again on the website

 

I just called up three direct and they didnt know anything about stock changes. Is it a website error or is there actually stock?

 

I swear to god... All I want is a 16gb or 32gb iPhone 3Gs on a $49 cap... surely it cant be this difficult?!?!

 

Website error I would say. From what I heard, no stock until late-ish August.

 

they have stock because i received one last night, maybe that was the dregs of the original stock though (for the expected stuffed up orders)

 

Still says out of stock for me

Got me all excited and all!!!!!!!!

 

LOL. I got mine yesterday from an Allphones store. The guy tracked one down by calling every Allphones store in SA.

 

So since upgrading to the iPhone I can no longer change my plan (old 29 cap with $120 incl, $20 min spend, lower callrates, free voicemail, etc), according to My3 online - whereas I was previously bombarded with 'upgrade your plan to the new xxx now". Does that mean I'm stuck with my current plan for the duration of my iPhone DHI?! (effectively making me locked into a contract for a further 24 months?) I was thinking the current 29cap (with $150 icl; $29 min spend, higher callrates and voicemail charged) might better suit me now that I've lost the $10 a month rebate for my previous handset.

 

You can go up in call caps, but not down lower than your contract.

 

No, I can't....


Show us your screenshot - I bet it looks different.

 

U might want to visit a three store or call up 3Care
Ive had issues with DHI and Rate plan changes in the past

 

Just call up, the plan change will take effect the enxt billing cycle. Thats what happened with me and my DHI

 

i changed my plan down to a 29 while im overseas, just had a look at the new plans, there are 3 versions of the $49 cap, which one do you guys thing is the best? whats the OTR plan?

 

It appears i was able to order a 3gs yesterday through DHI on My3. I got a pdf order confirmation and today i see the 1gb data on the account along with the 3gs listed as a handset.

I assume they wouldnt add all that to my acccount if they didnt have stock to send me? I only ask because other than the confirmation pdf I downloaded there's not been an email or anything.

I've not ordered off My3 before so don't know what to expect with respect to emails/confirmation etx.

hey oh fork me

quick question

i received my iphone half way through my billing period, will i be able to use the full data allowance for one month in this 2 week period and it will reset from my next billing date (the 7th) without penalty?

the indians dont seem to understand my question

 

your my3 account should show you your pro rata of calls data etc that you have, if its 2 weeks then should be half of what your left with
