March 18, 2024

With monthly budgets getting squeezed, you might be looking for ways to save money on your mobile plan.

If you switch to Three, you won’t just find a great phone deal. We’ve got a whole range of ways that can help you to save money and even get extra rewards, which can all really bring down your monthly costs.

Here are six ways you can save money with Three.

Switch and save

For a limited time, you can get an extra discount on selected phones when you switch to Three and keep your existing phone number. 

These phones are all eligible for our Switch and save discount:  

How to get the discount

You’ll need to choose one of the phones above, on a Value or Complete airtime plan with either Unlimited, 150GB, or 15GB of data. You’ll also need to take out a 24 month airtime plan.  

So you can switch your number, you’ll have to have a PAC code ready to enter when you checkout (you’ll miss out on the discount if you checkout without one). The easiest way to get your code is to text PAC to 65075 from the number you want to keep. You’ll be sent a PAC code within 60 seconds.

If you don’t need the latest phone, and the handset you’re using now still works fine, then an easy way to save is to get a SIM only plan.
