I really don’t see what is impressive about it at all. You go from getting 150mb Internet, free 3-3 calls, skype, free texts to 150mb Internet. That’s not better is it. The free 3-3 calls is one of the driving forces to get your friends onto 3 – if that’s now gone there’s little point. The 3 network is weak to start with, the only reason to go for it is for the features and they’ve just removed those. I guess it’s time to switch to someone else – one of the benefits of PAYG, no contract period.
I feel that the addons are good options, but I agree that the amount of free stuff with just the topup has gone rapidly down, and may put many off (though I’m not sure who’s actually better). Technically you still get the free Skype as well as the 150MB, but I agree moving the 3UK-3UK calls and free texts into the Addons will mean some will be losing out.

add ons last upto 30 days where previously the free extras such as 3-3 calls lasted 90 days. Going backwards fast. Very disappointed.

Well this has pissed me right off. I need my free 3-3 calls is it the new sim cards that the changes are with or is it all sim cards? As my old one has 3-3 which I lost and I got a new one and only found out after my credit ran out when calling my wife

Except where stated, I believe the minutes are cross network.
