Data Passport

With the Data Passport, you can use as much data as you want, from the moment you activate it until midnight GMT+1 (BST) on the day of activation (a maximum of 24 hours in total). This only applies to data usage, so if you make calls or send any texts, you’ll be charged the standard roaming rates as per your contract.

You can buy as many Data Passports as you think you’ll need in advance.

If you run out of Data Passports, you’ll be charged the standard roaming rates as per your contract.

Data Passports only work in select countries, so if you’ve got an active Data Passport and travel to a destination that isn’t valid, you’ll be charged the standard roaming rates as per your plan. But don’t worry - we’ll send you a text when you arrive, so you know what the charges are. And you can always turn data roaming off to avoid extra costs.

If you’re a Pay Monthly customer, you can use a Data Passport in any of these destinations:

We’ll text you a link when you arrive in an eligible destination, with instructions on how to buy. You’ll just need to click the link to buy a Data Passport. Then you’re good to go. 

Alternatively, you can buy a Data Passport before you travel, by logging into your My3 account and following the steps below.

1. Head to My3, and click Manage services.
2. Check the Roaming tab for Data Passport.

If you’re having trouble buying a Data Passport, please make sure you’ve got enough spend limit set on your account. You can check this by logging into your account at three.co.uk/account or the Three app. 

If you’re still having trouble after checking your spend limit, contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.

Calling from abroad? Your call will be charged at the standard roaming rate for the destination you’re in. Unless your plan includes Go Roam, in which case, your call will come out of your standard allowance.
