Three has launched a new social tariff at £12 a month through its sub-brand SMARTY aimed at supporting its vulnerable customers.

The plan, as part of its response to the cost of living crisis, offers unlimited data, calls and texts, and 5G at no extra cost. Plus. Three is offering the special plan as a flexible 1-month rolling plan which can be changed or cancelled at any time.

It is estimated that more than 4.2 million households across the UK could benefit from this new tariff helping those that need it the most to stay connected.

“With the cost-of-living crisis continuing to put financial pressure on many of our customers, Three is committed to playing its part in the solution. More than ever, people are in need of support and that should include access to affordable connectivity without restrictions,” Elaine Carey, Three’s CCO said.
