    Basically, if you don’t activate your phone to work abroad _before you leave_ you’re essentially screwed with @ThreeUK. Unbelievable.

        @TinyClanger Thanks, John—I tried; the problem is that if you’re not registered they send you your credentials via SMS. Vicious circle :)

        @aral Same with most networks (or used to be) needs to be activated before you go. Although a lot activate at sign up now.

        @Keiron Idiotic policy. Absolutely idiotic. Worse though: no way to activate when abroad with Three unless already signed up to My3.

        @aral Not policy from memory. Technically your SIM card hasn't been told it can talk to other networks, and now can't be told. Catch 22
