42000, yes forty two thousand advantage points! when you buy a mobile phone

Just noticed this on Boots, if you buy the Motorola C975 on 3, which additionaly is FREE on the £30pm contract you get 42000 advantage points worth £420!

Sounds great, but the min contract duration is 18 months.

when you've got to spend £450 with 3 to get £420 which you can only spend at boots you may aswell spend £0 at 3 and just use the £450 you save at Boots or wherever else you shop

This looks like the same deal, just £5 less (£415) and on 12 Months.

Doesn't that mean spending £315 to get £415 at boots?

however you should be able to downgrade to a £15 a month tariff after the first 6 months, so the total spend would be £270 for £420 of points.

£15 x 18 months

Would that not be £360 - 6 months @ £30 (£180), + 12 months @ 15 (£180)

Or are you talking about the 12 month offer (just noticed it)

richleeds

well, maybe ive mis read it, but i thought it was a £30 tariff discounted to £15 half price for the first 6 months?

Woby_Tide

if the downgrade policy is correct then the 12 month offer is surely £255(maybe £260) for £415 of points

3x£15 3x£30 6X£20(or 1x£25 and 5x£20)

From looking at the 3 website the minimum tariff is £20 so the 18 month deal is 6x£15 12x£20 i.e. £330 for £420 points

just remember 3 are about to increase there call charges! read on mobile section of this site for details!

Phonix

As with orange 0800 increase call charges, are this company allowed to make these increases and not break contractual agreements with customers?
