Sounds like a tax on ignorance to me. On the plus side, they won't be
getting any spammers on their network using their smarthost.

Just to keep the thread updated.

I've now had my number successfully ported to Three, despite them saying
it wouldn't happen until this evening, and they have also credited £10
to my PAYG balance, despite saying this would happen 7 days after my
number was transferred.

The £10 expires after 1 month and they use up your own balance before
they start on the £10 they credit you with, but other than that, all
good.

So all in all, I'm pretty impressed with my hassle-free migration from
02 to Three and the £5 per month unlimited web access is great too,
apart from a few blocked sites, anyone know of a way around this?

I found using OperaMini, I can get to some blocked sites but even using
that I found some blocked stuff. Was trying to download some free apps,
but Three blocked it for some reason, not a major thing, as I just
downloaded them to my PC and transferred them to my phone that way
instead.
