Three Unlimited Data SIM – Uncapped 5G Speeds – Preloaded EVERY MONTH Until 8th DECEMBER 2025 – No Contract – Plug & Play for Business Broadband, Routers & Phones

I have used mobile broadband for years, and while it is generally a little less reliable than landline broadband, it is generally faster overall, at least for downloads. I wouldn’t recommend for gamers who play online, even with the lower latency of 5G, as it still won’t be as good as landline, but for everything else, it is great. You can buy 4G routers cheaply for this SIM card, and even 5G routers are becoming affordable now. Just don’t cheap out on a slow CAT 4 router, as your speeds will be slow. CAT6 or 7 and above will give you carrier aggregation, which means your download speeds will be significantly faster.I noticed that some people said their internet was slow. Make sure you have a 4G router that is at LEAST CAT 6. You can get them for between £50 and £70 on eBay. Preferably go for CAT 11/12 upwards, which generally costs the £100 mark, although sometimes they can be had for £50 if you are willing to buy second hand. They are far faster than routers less than CAT 6. Avoid any router that is CAT 4 at all costs, as they will be slow in this day and age, and not fast enough for 4K ultra HD streaming. About the fastest 4G router you can get is the Huawei B818 which is CAT 19, but given the price these go for (£150 to £180), you are entering the price zone where you could get a 5G router for the same money, which is worth doing if you know the coverage of 5G is available where you are. I am using a ZTE MF286D, which is a CAT 12 4G router that can be bought cheaply off eBay (around £60), but mine is from my previous Three data contract. I am averaging 125mbps and about 20mbps upload speeds with it in the evening time.Also, check the coverage of what you can expect with Three network before you buy. A cheap option would be to buy a Smarty SIM card and buy one of the cheaper data packages for one month, as it uses Three network, and you can figure out if this Scancom deal is fast enough for you with a good signal. Also check out CellMapper website to see where the cell base stations are in relation to your home.Remember that if you want to turn off the content block which filters out 18+ websites, you need to contact Scancom via support@scancom.co.uk with the number of your SIM card and/or the code off the Scancom envelope it was in when you received it, and ask them to turn it off. It will take about 24 hours for them to do it. They run the business account for the bulk Three business SIM cards, so you can’t just contact Three to remove the adult content lock. Scancom need to be the ones who remove it. They removed mine 24 hours after I emailed their support email address.Also, remember these business plans have a fair use policy of 1,000GB a month. If you exceed that speed in a given month, the connection will be slowed down by traffic management until the next month when it refreshes with a new 1,000GB allowance. I paid £199.99 for my deal, which works out at £8.30 per month for the 24 months I’ve paid for, which is insanely cheap. You wouldn’t get any landline broadband plan for anywhere near as cheap as that, especially once you add line rental.The only negative thing, which is nobody’s fault, is the price went down to £149.99 a few days after I bought it, which works out at just £6.25 which is an insanely good deal. My Dad was happy though, as he just bought one at that price to replace his Three 24 month contract for mobile broadband which ends in a few weeks.The only downside of mobile broadband packages like this one I can see, is for those who are very heavy users. While it is described as unlimited in the listing, and it technically is, the speed will be slowed/capped via traffic management until it refreshes the following month with a fresh 1,000GB of data. For 90% of people, 1,000GB per month is plenty, and equal to about 300 hours of nonstop streaming YouTube/Netflix in 1080p full HD, or 100 hours of 4K ultra HD streaming. Remember there are 168 hours in a week so work your usage out from that.If you streamed YouTube/Netflix for 6 hours a day in 1080p full HD, you’d use 540GB per month. If you streamed the same length of time each day but at 4K ultra HD, you’d use 1,800GB per month so you’d go over that 1,000GB cap, but who watches 6 hours streaming EVERY day, especially at 4K resolutions? Not many.Just remember that mobile broadband is a little less reliable overall compared to landline broadband, and more prone to bad weather, but don’t let that put you off. It is far more reliable nowadays than when I first started using mobile broadband 18 years ago. It is very rare that the connection doesn’t work. You can also take this connection with you if you holiday anywhere in the UK, such as a caravan and so on.

Firstly, the process isn't seamless at all. For the credit check they made lots of questions and some requirements impossible to full fill for a sole-trader. The customer service isn't there when needed it, and they don't reply with a straight answer to your questions.On top, the company, Scan Com, uses legally questionable masquerading techniques, not telling the end price a consumer will have to pay, not including the VAT, and offering credit/voucher for you to spent with the network provider of £132, available after 60days. This is not including the VAT on the calculations, so the £7.5 monthly isn't real.The real price is £15.6 per month,‎ £242.4 for the 24 month length service, plus £132 in voucher you've paid to spend with Three. Not sure in what you can use it though, as the customer service omitted that information and just replied with the same information they gave me before:"Hi, We will pay £132 on your Three account after your sim being live for 60 days Kind regards"

You know when you look at something and think this sounds too good to be true...Well this really was the real deal. I bought a TP link Deco router and Three was the only service giving me 5g signal. So after investing in the router and being impressed...I thought I would take a punt on this sim deal. Impressive..put it in the slot and next minute I was getting 300~380 mbps download ..and have been for a month now and I live just outside a 5g area .. Its worked out (I had a discount code from Amazon ) at £8.33 a month for my internet..but even without that code it would still have been bargain of the century . So yes its a bargain...and it works..its limited to a fair use policy of 1000mb per month but I game and stream on mine for ages and don't really come close to that. I did contact customer srevices (sim comes with a card giving you all contact details ) so to remove the over 18's lock and I received a reply withing hours and the lock was removed within 24 hrs..so bonus points for cutomer service

Very inexpensive way of adding data to a cellular iPad or similar device without getting drawn into a contract.Three coverage works fine in most of the areas where I need it but your mileabe may vary.

Great works as soon as you register the SIM card on line with scancom

Great Product, have had product from this company before and always first class product and suportLike all mobile service check which provider works best in your area then match the product to scancom product likst

I bought this Scancom SIM for a mobile router to replace landline Broadband at home.Scancom provide images on the Amazon website that provide product information.One of those images has the Scancom name printed on a red background top left corner, with a list of product descriptions.At the top are 4 Network logos with names EE O2 Vodafone '3'.Included in the product description is stated :-"strongest Signal - 4 Networks preloaded on one SIM"What I received was a clearly marked '3' Network SIM with no other Networks loaded. I had hoped to use the O2 Network because I already have an O2 SIM and get a strong 5G signal.I also checked 3s Network coverage using my postcode, which reported as "Excellent". However, signal strength was 2-4mbps indoors and outdoors. I tried the SIM in 2 devices with same result.Excellent customer service from Amazon, who issued a full refund.

If you need mobile internet for a fixed period of time for a fixed price with absolutely no faff or setting up accounts, etc etc, this will do the job and do it well. Fast delivery, and setup is just a case of putting it in the device. Highly recommended.
