Three 'We Pay' possible loophole
If you're like me and have a tremendous amount of free minutes a month on three contract why not transfer them to a threepay mobile?
This hasn't been tested but I can't see why it doesn't work...
Signup for a threepay mobile (£39.99 for the Motorola C975 - a terrible phone btw but £30 'free' credit) and register for wepay.
At the end of the month of your contract, plug in both mobiles and call the wepay from the contract phone. Answer the wepay and just leave it for a few hours until the remaining contract credit has expired.
This has the effect of rolling over the credit to next month as you can claim it.
Fantastic news for parents who don't use up all those free minutes and can pass them onto the kids in the form of a £25 cash credit (videos, ringtones etc? I'm not sure what you can redeem them on)
Worried about over running your free minutes? buy an egg timer = )
Especially good for those people with a contract like mine - £10 for the year on the 500 minute 100 text tarrif they were offering on talkworldonline and want to top up your fathers phone - I shall be trying when my C975 comes back from repair!
Check the T&C carefully before doing this! I haven't tested it yet!

This will cost you £10 per month, as you need to top up to have the WePay credit applied.
Cheaper to get another contract one, as you already said0
