Three Go Roam (Feel at Home)

What is Go Roam?

Go Roam (previously called Feel at Home) is a service which (until May 23^rd, 2022) allows Three customers to use their devices abroad at no extra cost in 71 destinations, including Europe, USA, Australia and many more.

You can text, call and even browse the internet abroad without paying any extra money, it all just comes out of your standard monthly allowance.

In the first two years after launch, Feel at Home saved customers a whopping £1.3 billion, and five months later that went up to £2.6 billion. Even on an individual level, customers are estimated to have saved an average of £202 each year in roaming costs.

That said, as a result of Brexit, Three’s roaming terms will be changing on May 23^rd, 2022, and it will no longer be free, as we’ll detail below.

How Brexit has affected roaming

As a result of the UK leaving the EU, all of the UK’s major mobile networks are changing their roaming terms in one way or another, and in most cases it’s no longer going to be free.

That’s the case with Three, which from May 23^rd, 2022, is adding a £2 daily charge for customers to use their allowances in the EU, and a £5 daily charge for locations outside the EU.

It’s worth noting that this change doesn’t affect Pay As You Go customers, only applies to customers who have taken out a new contract or upgraded with Three from 1 October 2021, and it’s a change that’s coming in later than for a lot of networks, but nevertheless, the days of free roaming on Three are almost over.

For now though, Three customers can still roam for free, and below we’ve detailed the exact terms of this service.

How do I activate Go Roam roaming?

You’re likely already set up for roaming, but there are two things you should check before you travel – firstly, that roaming is enabled on your Three account, and secondly that it’s enabled on your phone. To do both of these things, follow these steps:

1. Login to your My3 account or open the My3 application on your device
2. Open the "International Settings" section
3. Select the ‘UK and abroad’ toggle
4. Turn on roaming on your phone (iPhone - Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options > Data roaming) (Android - Settings > Mobile Network > Data Roaming > All networks). Note that the exact process on Android may differ from this depending on what phone you have.

Once you arrive in your destination, you’ll then get a text confirming the standard international roaming charges for the country you are in. Then another confirming that calls and texts back to the UK and the use of data will not cost any extra.
