Launched in 1999 by Kevin Thomas, 3G.co.uk is a UK mobile technology and deals website covering smartphones, mobile phones, SIM-only plans, tablets, mobile broadband and Three UK services. The site originally focused on independent telecom news and mobile phone reviews before launching its online mobile store in 2003. Since 2007, 3G.co.uk has worked with Three to provide mobile products and exclusive online offers, while remaining an independent business rather than representing Three.
3G.co.uk combines mobile deal comparison, product information and telecom advice. Customers can browse Three deals for smartphones, SIM cards, tablets, mobile broadband and related services, while the site's editorial content covers phone reviews, mobile technology, network information and practical guides. The website also provides resources for existing Three customers, including information about network coverage, signal problems, network status, upgrades, unlocking, keeping a mobile number, roaming, tethering, top-ups and Three+ rewards.
A key feature of 3G.co.uk is its relationship with Three, which allows the site to provide online-exclusive mobile offers that may differ from offers available directly through Three's website or high-street stores. Purchases are completed directly with Three, which also handles customer service, returns and refunds. This makes 3G.co.uk particularly relevant to searches for Three mobile deals, Three SIM-only deals, mobile phone offers, Three broadband, tablet deals, mobile broadband and UK mobile phone comparisons.
