This blog post provides settings for the UK’s 3/Three mobile phone service.
2021 update: This blog post is very old and it’s likely outdated and I’m leaving it here for historical purposes, though I doubt anybody will find it useful!
Introduction
I might be changing my mobile phone shortly, so took a moment to note down the 3 / Three mobile phone settings, just in case I need them at some stage. I thought I would share the details here, in case anyone else also requires the data, email, mms, voicemail etc settings. These settings were noted down in 2012.
