Three UK: '3 Like Home' becomes 'Feel at Home'

StaticNoise

Three UK have changed the popular '3 Like Home' feature, and you can now roam on any network in seven countries using your minutes, texts, and data. You can use any network, rather than just the Three network, so you'll always be in coverage.

Ireland is one of the countries named, so it means that UK customers can roam on Vodafone, Meteor, O2, or Three, without paying any additional charges.

I wonder will this be introduced here for Irish customers?

You don’t need to do a thing. It all happens automatically as soon as you arrive in an eligible country. Just wait for your phone to pick up any local mobile network and you’re good to go.

I'd doubt it.. 3 in the UK faces a lot more competition and economies of scale are massively different to the Irish market.

Plus they just bought out O2 Ireland remember so even less reason for them to have to compete like that here.

3 Like Home has been unavailable for new customers for a long time now, so its not actually a change but a reintroduction of it under a new name.

Also looking around the website I think you can only use the sister networks. I cant produce the evidence for this yet, but for Ireland the only network available to connect to is 3 Ireland.

3 Like Home was only for sister networks (Three HK, etc.), while the 'Feel at Home' is any network.

And yes, I forgot that the former was no longer available.
