If you use "3 like home" read this- possible reason to cancel??

ladybolan

I was beginning to feel left out as I hadn't recieved a call from 3 offering me a better deal...and I just got one!

They offered me 300 mins and 1000 texts for £9.79, incl. internet, keeping my INQ1. This is probably a pretty good deal, better than what I've moved to (Virgin £18 250 mins unlimited texts unlimited data Nokia 5800) BUT I detest the INQ1 and can't bear to deal with 3 any more, so turned it down.

So, like people before me have said, it maybe is worth cancelling and getting your PAC - don't use it for a week or ao, and they will offer you a good deal. It's a case of pros vs cons though, and tbh the cons won out

"Porting Authorisation Code" - you need it if you want to keep your number when moving network. AFAIK you have no need for it if you don't want to keep your number - I've certainly never had one before, as I've never kept a number when moving networks. This time however I plan to keep my number. With 3, if you don't use it within 30 days of it being issued, then your contract won't end and they'll keep billing you.

Had a long phone call was told I could get pac right away but kept putting me on hold and asking me why I wanted it, said about Vodafone and she claims that Vodafone do no such deal they just give free internet and 3 does the same I had to repeat this countless times for about 30 minutes and eventually she says "ok I'll send you Pac now, you will recieve it within 2 hours" then "please hold whilst I speak to a manager"

Still on hold 15 minutes later.

Pfft, its besides the point what vodafone do and don't do anyway. How's someone in Bombay going to know what vodafone UK do better than someone who actually lives in the UK?

Just tried to cancel and been offered for £19.81 a month - 1100 mix and match with 2000 texts and a new phone!

Do you think I'd get anything near this elsewhere??

Was so set on cancelling but I do have a high use each month and now wondering whether I'd be cutting my nose off by moving!

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
