Step 4: We think that being able to buy your data online, 24-7, is the most convenient method. If you agree, here's how.
- Register a bank card on My3
- You can top-up with £10 when you first register. £10 is the maximum the first Top-up time, whilst your card details are verified for your security protection.
- Convert your £10 Top-up to a Mobile Broadband Add-on to get 1GB of data (If you don't you will be charged £1 per MB)
- After 7 days, you can top-up as often as you like, as much as you like.
Check your usage
We will send you a text message to let you know when the amount of data left on your Mobile Broadband Add-on is running low, or your data Add-on is about to expire.
My3 lets you check how much data you have used, and how much you've got left. You can check your account at My3 24-7.
How it works
If you buy a dongle for PAYG, you will need to Top-up and convert your Top-up to a Mobile Broadband Add-on to get your great value monthly data allowance.
Step 1: Buy a Top-up from £10 up to £50. These are available at over 100,000 locations - Supermarkets, Petrol stations, Convenience Stores or wherever you see the 'top-up' sign.
Step 2: Then activate your Top-up at www.three.co.uk/My3
Step 3: Convert your Top-up to an Add-on at My3.
IMPORTANT: If you do not convert your Top-up to a Mobile Broadband Add-On immediately after Topping up, you will be charged £1 per MB.
