Three UK Expand Inclusive Global Mobile Roaming to 92 Countries

Mobile operator Three UK has revealed that they’re preparing to launch a new “Go Roam Around the World Extra” service, which will enable customers to access their UK allowances (Fair Usage Policy applicable) in “92 new destinations” and all for an additional daily roaming charge of £7.

At present Three UK offers two roaming add-ons – £2 per day for Go Roam in Europe or £5 for the Go Roam Around the World destinations. Customers who take one of their ‘Value‘ or ‘Complete‘ plans benefit from the inclusion of up to 28 or 56 days worth of roaming passes, respectively (currently valid in at least 71 of their worldwide Go Roam destinations).

NOTE: Go Roam Around the World Extra is not available on Pay As You Go or if your Pay Monthly plan started before 1st October 2021.

The good news, as spotted by one of ISPreview’s readers (credits to Ai.123), is that the operator will be introducing a new Go Roam Around the World Extra service from 26th June 2024, which adds “92 new destinations” to their world roaming add-on. “And if you joined or upgraded to a Pay Monthly plan on or after 1 October 2021, you’ll be able to use your UK allowances in any of those destinations,” says Three (applicable to those who have inclusive world roaming on their plans).

Naturally, there’s also a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) involved with the new roaming tier, which limits customers to using up to 12GB (GigaBytes) of mobile broadband data (3G, 4G and 5G), 3,000 minutes and 5,000 texts per billing month. But when you run out of passes, the usual daily roaming charge will normally apply.

Three UK Statement

Go Roam Around the World Extra launches on 26 June! This new band in our Go Roam product allows you to access your UK allowance* in 92 new destinations for a daily roaming charge of £7. If you are travelling before 26 June in an affected destination, you will be notified via the text you receive when you land. If you joined/upgraded before 1.10.21 we won’t apply this daily roaming charge and you will continue to pay the £/p per MB, minute, text rates.

The new feature makes for a useful safety net, particularly if you already have one of the relevant plans and do a fair bit of travelling outside the UK, although occasional travellers may find that picking a destination specific plan from one of the many travel SIM / eSIM companies (Holafly, Airalo etc.), or even buying a local SIM when you arrive at your destination, is likely to be both much more flexible (allowances) and cost-effective – particularly if you plan to use a lot of data.
