Not being connected to the internet sucks. So give your phone or tablet legs and get online wherever you are with a Three Trio Data SIM.
Wherever your feet want to go. It is the internet with legs. Just pop this super simple Three data SIM straight into your unlocked 3G or 4G device and that’s it. You can connect your device to the internet whether you are at home, at the office, or out and about. Pretty much anywhere you like.
Three’s Pay As You Go Trio SIM has all SIM types on one card, so whether you need a standard, micro or nano SIM, you can just pop out the one you need. This particular SIM also comes with 12GB of preloaded data, so you can catch up on the game highlights, Skype your gap year kids, play Angry Birds and tweet your heart out. This data is valid for up to 12 months, then after this, you just top up and Pay As You Go.
Being charged to use your data abroad is not great, especially if it racks up a huge bill at the end of it. However, with Three’s SIM, you can use your data abroad at no extra cost in many ‘Go Roam‘ destinations while on holiday, including USA, Australia, France and Spain.
In particular, paying extra for 4G sucks. Three believes you should get fast internet at no extra cost. Which is why they offer 4G at no extra cost. All you need is a 4G device and be in a 4G area.
