Helping you pay your monthly bill

We understand that our customers might be concerned about the current cost of living crisis, and we want to do whatever we can to help.

You can also use the info on this page to find out what options we offer to help you. If you're a Business customer, go to our Stay connected for Business page.

Want to control your spend so you don't run into problems?

There are a couple of things you can do to help stay on top of your bills in the future.

  • Change your bill payment date
    Changing your bill date is easy so long as you're not already in collections, and it can make a big difference. Get in touch to talk about it.
  • Remove Add-ons
    Check for any Add-ons you have that you don’t need. We can take them off for you, and save you money.
  • Control your spend
    You can cap your monthly spend to make sure you never go over a certain amount each month, even if you run out of allowance.
  • Three app
    Our app is free, and it's a great way to keep track of your day to day use. Unfortunately this isn’t available to Three Business customers.

Make a payment

If you want to pay your bill, you've got a couple of options:

For other payment options, head over to our Ways to pay page to see what could work best for you.

If you already have a payment arrangement, you can make a partial payment ahead of the due date. Use the Three app or My3, or give us a call on 400.

If you’re a Three Business customer, you can make a partial payment by calling us free on 337 from your Three Business phone.


Need more time?

If this is your first time calling and you need a payment extension, just let us know. During this time of uncertainty, we can help you out and we won't turn off your services. You just need to let us know. The best thing to do is call 333.

Remember that your future bills will still be due as normal. If you're still having trouble paying your bill, just come back to this page for info.

Had an extension before? You might still be able to get another. Just call us on 333.


To discuss your bill, call us free on 333 from your Three phone. We're here 08:00-20:00 Monday to Friday, and 09:00-18:00 Saturday and Sunday.
