It feels more like a downgrade with some uptime

In fairness, the new My3 (when it actually works) finally includes itemised usage to keep track of where your credit is going.

Have you already been migrated to the new My3? I'm assuming that's why your downtime is less.

I *think* I've been migrated, even though I can only log in sporadically.
Apologies, I didn't realise that the message was different for different customers. I just thought, since not everyone got the text the first time around, I'd try and let people know.
I can edit my post or delete if its going to cause confusion!

Just used my three credit to subscribe to the Irish independent through their app. It's 9.99 a month for their premium account.

Yeah, only those being migrated at the time got the text the last time it seems.

Wondering if everyone else is being migrated this weekend or if it will be spread over a longer period.

Though you'd think they'd get the current bugginess of the new My3 sorted before migrating over any more customers.

I'm pretty sure it's €50. You could buy a €15 Play Store gift voucher in Tesco and then you'll be able to pay the balance with your Three credit.

Get over to the headspace thread on here and get on board with a family subscription. I think it is 17 euro per month.

I looked this up and got a family sub for €75 for the year, and split it with my friends. Maybe at that price it needs a bargain alert of its own. €12.50 each for the year

I know charity spots have been discussed many a time here...

The Jack and Jill Foundation have had their fundraising slashed in this crisis while they continue to care for over 300 of Ireland must vulnerable children, and their families at home. They are facing a 500k euro shortfall to provide these services, often which are to support a child at end of life.

Text WECARE to 50300 to give 4 euro to Jack and Jill. At least 3.60 from each text will go to the charity.

Sent them some money only couple of days back. All these codes work:

SOS - €4
WE CARE - €4
WECARE - €4

Wish what you suggest was true

My access to My3 was FUBARed at least six weeks ago. I have been getting 'service down' warning SMS ( every 2 weeks ? ) still have no access to My3. Obv serious problems - but should never have got to this stage. Reflects V. badly on Three IRL engineering and project management.

They sent me a DM yesterday with the below link to follow up with them!

https://support.google.com/pay/answer/7644089?hl=en&ref_topic=7644061

But I haven't replied yet, as I'm leaning more towards Three's migration being the problem!

Came back to me yesterday, ended up with an email and have replied (more than 100 characters needed!) and hoping for a reply.
Can't use carrier billing anywhere in Stadia but I can in Google Play, here's hoping they can do something simple to sort this.

When I try to pay for Deezer premium, three pay isn't listed. I've had a free trial with them before so is this the basis as to why three pay isn't listed as an option or am I missing something?

I think so, if you had Deezer before, 3 pay is not an option when you go to use Deezer again.

3 pay wasn't an option when I went to Deezer the first time.

Saying that though, you can apparently get Deezer for 3 months for 99c via 3 Plus at the moment (I'm assuming credit is used to pay for the 99c).

Potentially the rebilling afterward might be via credit?!?

I went for the offer. It just redirected me to the website to pay by card or PayPal.

They did warn that they would be goofing around with billing / accounting system 'till tomorrow morning.

Might be worth leaving it for today and trying again tomorrow afternoon.

In other news, if your 3IRL 4G is crashing this evening it might be worth trying restricting connection to 3G

can it be installed on 20 devices, but only used concurrently on 4 devices?

Or is the login limited to 4 devices?

Say I install it on 4 of my devices but I only watch on one at a time, can I pass on the login to my sister to watch on her device? So that would be 2 devices watching at one time.
