i hope someone can give me some advice here. Am i doing something wrong?

I cannot seem to get any of the mobile phone shops or companies to offer me any deals which are not already in print.

18 months ago when i eventually moved from orange to 3 they were tripping over themselves to get my business - now they don't seem bothered. I have had a fruitless couple of calls to 3 (the last one lasting 30 mins) where the guy kept just repackaging the same deal. E.g. instead of paying £2 extra/mth on top of the tariff for the phone wanted he told me i could pay a one off price of £36. As if I can't divide £36 by 18 mths to come up with £2/mth. Then he told me I could pay it next mth. I even asked for my PAC code.

The none of the shops in town (carphone warehouse, orange, vodafone) seem bothered about attracting my custom.

Is there something I am missing?

Thank you all.

Thats exactly what they've said to me - offering the same deals as mentioned above. They then gave me my pac code and are not interested in keeping my business at all. ( I have two accounts with them ) I have 7 days left on my contract and Ive not had a phone call from them since recieving my pac code.

I've now signed up with vigin £10.00 300 mins 300 txt on a sim only.

Hi Jimgee,

I doubt it is covered as I have been out of my contract since June.

Not necessarily. I'm not sure about the other makes but LG and Nokia do two year warranties. Hope this applies to you.

Told me that I could either cancel my contract or get my PAC - wasn't quite sure why that was so i just said fine cancel.
Lol.

If you just cancel though, rather than getting your PAC, don't you have to give 30 days notice? You lose your number too...
