12 month SIMs: here’s why we love them

Value

As the plans run for a year, you can enjoy better value per month than a shorter plan.

Flexibility

You’re not tied into a super-long contract, which is perfect if your circumstances change.

Upgrades

If, after a year, you’d like to amend your plan or change to a phone contract, we have loads of options.

Why get a 12 month SIM on Three?

What’s a 12 month SIM Only plan?

From only £11, you can connect to our super-fast 5G network for a year. They’re great value, and you can opt for a Value or Complete plan that includes Paramount+ and roaming.

How do 1 year SIMs work?

Our 1 year SIM Only plan gives you access to our network for 12 months. After that, if you’re happy with it, you can renew your contract or upgrade to a 24 month SIM plan, or a plan with a device.

You can keep your existing number

Moving your number across to Three is simple. You’ll need a PAC or STAC code from your current provider, and then it’s just a case of sending a text. Find out how to switch to Three.

Upgrade easily

If you love your 12 month SIM – and we think you will – then upgrading to a plan with a device, or moving to a longer-term SIM plan with Three is simple, and it can all be done online.

Easy activation

Once your SIM arrives, put it in your phone, and you’ll get a text confirming that you’ve connected Three automatically. You’ll be ready to go in no time.

Increase your data limit

If you run out of data, it’s easy to get more. You can increase your monthly allowance or purchase a data Add-on anytime online, and start using your new data straight away.

Frequently asked questions

While our 30-day SIMs give you the flexibility of an ultra-short plan, our 12 month SIMs give you variety, with the option to tailor your plan using Three Your Way. With our Lite, Value or Complete plans, you get a choice of data, plus  unlimited calls and texts, and access to Three+ rewards. Our Value and Complete plans also mean you can choose to add Paramount+ for up to the full length of your plan, and you can use your phone abroad for up to 28 days.

With the 30-day SIM, you get unlimited calls and texts, plus your choice of data, and access to our Three+ rewards app. You can also buy add-ons like roaming and Paramount+.

Our 12 month – or 1 year – SIM Only plans mean you can connect to our network for a year, which gives you great value without having a super-long contract.

Once you’ve committed to a 12 month SIM Only plan with Three, you can’t cancel the contract before the 12 months is up.

No, our 12 month SIM plans don’t automatically cancel, but they don’t automatically renew either. Unless you opt into another 12 month or upgrade to a 24 month contract, you’ll be moved to a rolling 1 month contract with Three.

No, after the 12 months is up, your plan won’t automatically be renewed for another 1 year SIM plan. You’ll be moved to a rolling 1 month contract with Three until you either cancel or opt for another 12 month or 24 month SIM Only plan.

12 month SIM Only contracts mean you can access Three’s super-fast network for a year. You can customise your plan by choosing the amount of data you’d like per month, and you can also get extras like Paramount+ and roaming with our Value and Complete plans on Three Your Way.

Once the 12 months have come to an end, you can either renew your 12 month plan, or upgrade to a 24-month contract, or a plan with a device. Otherwise, you’ll be moved to a rolling 1 month contract.
