Hi,
For those who may have missed this on the thread on 'Chat', Portugal goes into the 'Feel at Home' programme of countries that you can use a 3 Mobile Sim card from September 2016.

Very handy and just in time for the winter season.

I spent a fortune last winter on my mobile using my Manx telecom sim. Is this something I could use to keep my costs down?

If you can buy a Three PAYG sim card it should. The 12Gb one seems the best value but you may need two or more for the entire winter because of the two month use limitation.

We used 100% of our Three SIM cards abroad
Not sure that the 'two month' rule applies to them

Thanks for the heads up ! HOWEVER I'm there from the first to the 15th so start of coverage on the 16th won't be much help ! (y):D

Does that mean that the data only 3sim will work in Portugal?

Am off across Europe on Friday and will be gone for a couple of months, so it would be a great advantage if I knew when the new package starts. I would imagine its not going to start until the kids are back at school. That would make sense to 3 and save them a shed load of money.

The man (boy) in the 3 Shop in Plymuff (2 f's) didn't know when in September when I asked a couple of mins. ago but he said, after asking colleagues that it would be "The beginning of September"

So there you have it. I don't know!!!

Reviving this Ol' thread.

We're sat in the Aire @ St Sylvestre sur Lot (on our way down eventually to Portugal)
3 just popped across this site (Fun not the Aire, Do keep up!!!)
saying we had to use another Sim Card.
The Sim card that was in this up to 5 mins ago was a 3 'Feel at Home' 12 month 12 Gig card.

The thing is, I checked this morning and, up to then, we had used 14.79 Gig.

That's what I call value.

Hey up Clarky,

Me? Bothered? We had already used up 14.3 when we left France in June and it's a bit difficult trying to send a bill to someone who bought it elsewhere in the first place.
I reckon that somehow, our use in France at the beginning of the year never got back to 3. Either that, or it says that our Mifi is recorded as Vodaphone when connected up somehow fools them.
Watch this space for this Sim.
