Three

Mobile firm Three is adding to its list of countries you can use your phone in without paying roaming charges from 15 June. But you'll still face a limit on the amount of your UK data allowance you can use abroad and fees for exceeding that limit – despite the much-touted 'ban' on EU roaming charges coming in next month.

Pay-monthly customers on mobile network Three will see their bills rise by 2.6% next month in line with inflation - even if they're in the middle of their contract term.

Three Mobile moved to assure customers their financial data was not at risk after a data breach at the firm saw fraudsters gain access to personal information including names, addresses and phone numbers.

About 15,000 UK customers who pre-ordered the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 have been urged to return the phones immediately after a fire risk was identified with them. While the Royal Mail won't collect recalled faulty phones for safety reasons, some network providers will send couriers to pick up the devices and most will accept returns in store.

All the major mobile phone networks have abolished unlocking charges for pay monthly customers who are outside their minimum contract term, after intervention from the Government.

Mobile network Three has followed Apple in offering an interest-free payment scheme which lets you buy a new iPhone 7 in monthly instalments without paying a penny in interest – but you will need to commit to a 12-month Three Sim-only contract.

Apple aficionados who pre-ordered a new iPhone 7 for today's launch from EE, O2, Three and Vodafone have been left fuming after being told they'll have to wait to get their hands on it - in some cases, for at least six weeks . However, you may be able to cancel your order and claim a refund if it's late.

Apple has launched a new payment system which allows you to spread the cost of a new iPhone 7 over 20 months in instalments – without paying a penny in interest.

Mobile giant Three is adding 24 countries and territories including holiday hotspots Greece, Portugal and Germany to its 'Feel At Home' feature from next month, meaning you'll be able to use your mobile in these places at the same price as in the UK.

Mobile operator Three has launched a range of budget Sim-only and contract tariffs – dubbed 'Essential' plans – which are being billed as a lower-cost option for customers who want to "cut out the stuff they don't need".
