  • If you're successful in cancelling, they'll let you have your PAC code.
  • Have two accounts with 3 & received two letters today advising of the new charges so phoned them & after getting transferred to 4 different people eventually got told I could cancel & did I want to keep my numbers. I said yes & then I got disconnected :mad: Called them back again & was told that the letters I received were sent in error and should not have been sent to me as they are not on my price plan! I explained that earlier I was told I could cancel & even get to keep my numbers but again he said this new charge will not effect you.

    I have sent an email & await their response

    My two accounts are Direct Talker, 750 mins

    Below is a thread I started last year on Hot UK Deals:

    If 3 have confirmed you can cancel you can keep your phone, my Nokia N95 was only 1 month old when I cancelled.
