Review: Works as advertised - I am finishing up a 17 day trip to Europe, where I used this Sim card during the entire trip. It certainly performed as advertised! I used it in a Nexus 6P android phone, which has the capability to work on a GSM cell network (most of Europe), as well as the CDMA network in the states, depending on the Sim card used. Couple minor hickups I'll mention later, but it provided excellent coverage and reasonable speed throughout Spain and Southern France. I followed the instructions on setting it up in the U.S., and it was good to go from there once I reached Europe. Something to note- don't initially set it up until your entire European visit is within the 30 day usage period. The 30 day clock starts when you initially set it up in the states. Couple additional notes and hickups. We traveled directly from the U.S. to Spain, and the 444 call for updates on balances (talking minutes, texts, and data) worked well. However, when we traveled through Andorra, and I no longer got any data connectivity. Cell service seemed to work, but no data available. Not sure that totally meets the advertisement of "works in every country in Europe", but our Andorra adventure lasted only for a stop for lunch, so it was not a big deal. Driving into France, it connected to the France cell network cleanly, but I still couldn't get data. Maybe it would have eventually connected for data, but I was impatient, and restarted my phone. Both cell and data connections were reinstated once the phone finished it's power up. Another slight hickup after that though, is that I could no longer get balance updates by dialing 444. It kept asking for a 16 digit Voucher number (which I didn't have), and would auto hang-up after I failed to enter a valid voucher number. Even after driving back into Spain later in the trip, it did not allow me to get my Sim balances, and continued to ask for a voucher #. Not sure if that was a ploy to get me to add minutes/data, or just a system malfunction, but it was only a minor annoyance for me because my phone keeps track of my data usage, and I could tell my data balances with my phone. Although I mainly bought the Sim card for data, I did have reason to make some phone calls within Europe, and it connected fine. Just remember to dial your number as though you are always calling from the UK, not the local country you happen to be in. Overall, it was a valuable addition to my trip accessories, and allowed me to research hotels/attractions/travel options as though I was in a big city in the U.S. It ended up being a good investment for my Europe trip!
Review: Did not work in UK - So I bought this through desertcart a week before I left for the UK. As indicated in the instructions, I activated it the day before I left to test it out in my unlocked ZTE smartphone (originally TracFone) it was 'roaming' relative to the UK number I received but I could easily send and receive calls. . It found an AT&T connection and seemed to work fine. Arriving in the UK I turned it on; could not connect; It was finding 'Vodaphone' and a few other networks but would not connect. In my hotel in Cambridge, I connected to the support chat; they had me try all sorts of things to no avail. Support person could not understand why. So, was suggested I take it to the local "Three" store in a nearby mall. He told me that I could get a replacement there. Associate at the store immediately determined that the chip was defective as when put in one of their phones it didn't work. However, because I bought the chip through desertcart and not Three, they would not replace it. FINE. I bought a similar chip there for about the same cost. Put it in my phone; nada. They put it in their phone. Connected ok. Since the chip wasn't defective they would not refund my money. Fortunately a friend in Cambridge lent me an unlocked iPhone where the chip seemed to work fine. Almost; I could text and call everyone I needed to EXCEPT I could not send text messages to one person; they could call me, but we could not exchange texts, It was suggested that the carrier for this person did not work well with Three. At least the data functions worked well in London so could use it as a GPS to get around via maps Upon arriving back in US, put chip back in the ZTE phone and it worked fine. So did the so called 'defective' chip. . So for some reason it would not work specially with 3 in the UK in the ZTE phone. ????? desertcart refunded my money AND gave me $20 credit in addition to cover my trouble with this item (so that almost zeroed out what I paid for the chip in UK. I am definitely NOT impressed

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i activate the sim in usa or i have to activate once i land in eurpe?**
A: Yes, you can activate the sim card in question while in USA.

**Q: Can i use social network(facebook, whatsapp, google maps, etc) with this 12 gb ?**
A: Yes, it worked fine for me for whatever applications that use data, such as google maps and internet, that I used from my phone.

**Q: If i call or text the USA or italy from italy using this service is there additional cost?**
A: It is misleading the description of the product says that you can call UK and European numbers. "12GB data to use in 71 destinations, 3000 voice mins and 3000 texts can ONLY be used to call UK numbers, AND European numbers WHILST you are in Europe". I just bought the card, should i return if i cannot make calls from Spain and Italy to the local numbers?

**Q: Is it already activated and is there a plan or fee for me to pay?**
A: No need to activate or register, it is already preloaded with 12GB data, 3000 minutes and 3000 texts ready to use for 30 days. This bundled will start whenever you insert the SIM into an unlocked phone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UPDATED!! !!¡¡DATA ONLY!¡¡!! NO INTERNATIONAL CALLING OR MESSAGING!!¡¡** EASY SET-UP.
*by K***S on June 8, 2018*

I am going to cover [below the update*] how to set up this Three.co.uk 12 GB Data SIM Card. Noto Bene: This Card is limited to 3G data speeds OUTSIDE THE UK. I will update* this review if there was anything amiss after I use the card in Europe. =============================== UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE After an extensive support call with Three, UK, I can report a few points: 1) ALL OF THESE CARDS ARE SOLD BY INDIVIDUALS - THREE UK does NOT sanction the sale of these cards, BUT they will offer support if you need it. 2) When I first activated my card in the US, I was encouraged by seeing 4G next to the network. The same was true when I landed in France. 4G speed disappeared after a few hours. According to Three Support, Data Roaming will usually be at 3G (or slower) speeds when outside the UK, because there are no agreements with telephone providers outside the UK for Three Data SIM cards. 3) IF you verify your SIM card telephone number with Apple, you can use Apple’s iMessage to message anyone in the world who is also on iMessage. 4) You WILL NOT BE ABLE to TEXT OR TELEPHONE ANYONE ANYWHERE UNLESS THEY HAVE A UK NUMBER to call or text. So, I can call and text my spouse who has the same type SIM card (very useful when we wander in different directions during free time or on tours), BUT cannot call back to the United States to talk with anyone there, NOR can I text any SMS messages. 5) I CAN CALL non-UK numbers using SKYPE, Google Voice, Talkatone, etc. 6) SAVE the data card holder that you punched the SIM card out of. (See last marked up picture). I slipped my ATT card into it for safekeeping. IF you need to call Three Support, the holder has important information (Sim card number and telephone number that you will need to give the support folks). In summary after using my Three SIM card for 5 days on the Cote d’azur: PROS: • 12GB of roaming internet data available. • If traveling with a companion who also has a Three SIM card, the ability to call and text your companion(s). • NOT having to pay ATT or Verizon $10/day to access your own data while roaming internationally. ($58 TOTAL SIM vs $300 TOTAL from a US Cellular company.) • 24GB of data versus the 15GB (includes my rollover ATT data) from ATT. • EXTREMELY PROFICIENT Tech Support from Three! • International Data Roaming in Three’s 71 “Feel At Home” Countries. • Ability to call or text any UK telephone number (UPDATE) AND CAN CALL ANY EU number**. I was able to call numbers in France and Germany in addition to UK numbers. CONS: • NO INTERNATIONAL CALLING OR TEXTING (**except in EU countries since sometime in 2017). • 3G (or possibly lower) data speeds while roaming. • 12GB may not be enough data for you. (I am a heavy data user and it is enough for me for 15 days.) NO STREAMING VIDEO on 3G networks. 3G is too slow to effectively use Google Waze. Summary - I got what I needed and it is a GREAT VALUE. IF I were only going to be in one country next time I would probably land and go to the largest carrier to buy PAY AS YOU GO DATA ONLY SIM card. In France that would be Orange. Maybe not, though, because it was certainly nice to have our phones ready to go by activating them in the US BEFORE we flew to Europe. END UPDATE END UPDATE END UPDATE ACTIVATION: Activate TrioSim from Three.co.uk (with International Data Roaming in 71 Countries). 1. Turn off telephone. 2. Eject current SIM card (or tray if it is a new phone). 3. See what size card your phone needs. 4. Punch out appropriate size from Trio SIM card carrier. Purple, Green, or White outline. The iPhone 5S and up take the smallest “nano” card. 5. Insert the SIM card in the tray (it can go only one way) and carefully slide all the way back into phone. 6. Turn your telephone back on. 7. Three will send you a message asking you to leave your telephone on until you are connected to Three. (Turning off your WiFi seems to make this connection happen much faster!) 8. After told by Three, turn your phone off and back on. 9. Use the THREE APP (available through the UK Apple App Store), to check your balance. (Google: “changing from US to another country apple store” to see how to get the free THREE APP which offers the functionality you NEED to see your balances. The THREE WEB APP [as of my experience mid-June 2018] DOES NOT SHOW SIM CARD BALANCES.)
