3 Retention Deals

I had a web chat with them the other day regarding the wife's contract. She was paying £7 pm for 600 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb and over the last couple of months she's been close to her data limit.

At first they offered me 4gb for £16 but when I mentioned a friend was getting 4gb for £9, they quickly offered me the same deal. So 12 months of unlimited mins, texts and 4gb for £9 pm

Hope that's of some use for somebody

My EE sim only for 150 mins /all txts/250g data ( am low user) was costing me £10 a month. 12 month contract just ended)--wife also has same deal--2 smart phones costing £20 a month on one account in toto--grrrreat.
Saw that Virgin (also piggybacking on EE) was offering the same 150/all txts/250g data for £5 a month.
Rang to close down EE and switch to Virgin--but EE said they could match what I'd spotted ....so...running two smartphones on low usage(as above) for a total £10 a month has put a nice smile on my fuzz!!

Just to add to that...I'm particularly interested in the £24pm 12 month plan with 30GB data, Unlimited texts and calls, and 30GB tethering.

Has anyone haggled this plan lower?

Oh wow so they didn't budge on their plan price with you then (excluding the additional 3 to 3 mins).

I'm also interested in the "special offer" plan. Just toying between that and the next one up (AYCE data for £33). It's just such a big jump, with respect to price, from the "special offer" plan ��

Has anyone achieved anything by haggling??

my failed attempt at haggling with three:

called yesterday as i'm looking to get a new phone. i'm on their sim only plan right now and i could stick my sim only for a while longer to be money saving, but i really want a new phone :rotfl: i've been with three for 9 years.

my friend, who i introduced to three 4 years ago, called up in october. they gave her the 128gb iphone 7 with no upfront cost and 30gb data (unlimited mins and texts included) for £51 a month. i know, i know, it's a lot of money. i have always gone with their unlimited data plan because i use my phone a LOT. so i thought i used a lot of data. hoping to get a similar deal to this, i called the renewals team. surely after 9 years of loyal service, despite a lot of previous issues including completely losing a mobile while repairing it and adding a default to my record (it was removed as not my fault!) i would be able to get something similar?

nope. nada. zilch.

they offered me the 32gb iphone 7 with 30gb of data for £47 a month with a £49 upfront cost. i suggested that if they give me the 128gb i would be willing to pay this upfront cost but not for the 32gb when my friend was given the higher phone for nothing! they said they don't offer any better deals no matter how long you're a customer - despite having done this in october. he said that if i wanted the larger phone i should just buy it upfront at the apple store. the manager on webchat said all he could do was offer me £2 a month discount but only if i took out a plan right then.

am i being unreasonable?? i didn't think i was. and their agent telling me just to buy the phone in the apple store if i really want it... :mad:

have been looking around. vodafone are offering a sim only plan with 25gb of data for £25 BUT they give you a free premium subscription to spotify. i already pay for this because i do a lot of traveling and love to listen to music so i'm really only paying £15 a month. and as the adviser from three told me i'm only averaging 11-14gb of data a month, looks like i no longer need to stick with three AYCE!

i wonder how long it'll take me to cancel....
