Can i cancel my 3 contract?

Options
Im sure everybody would do this if it was so easy, I just think that im being ripped of compared to the latest deals, I have 1 yr left on my 18month contract!

Surley there is some loophole that will allow me to cancel the contract!

Regards

james

    No, there isn't. As a consumer you have a free choice as to where and when to enter into contracts with companies. And you chose to enter an 18 month mobile phone contract about six months ago with 3. You now have to take responsibility for that choice.

    You are very lucky because at the moment you can cancel your contact. (due to changes in 3 like home)

    Have a read of this thread.

    Both myself and my wife have cancelled our contracts.

    However this is not the answer for everyone, as many have discovered - the 3 Like home was a 'promotional tariff' and depending on the joining date, will mean that that - as a promotion with a finite ending date - cannot be taken as a 'material change' to get out of a contract. For the reasons outlined by the OP - a 'feeling' of being ripped off - I don't believe this is a viable route. It is because of these spurious reasons that networks, when confronted with genuine reasons for people wanting out, job, illness, redundancty, they're refusing to be 'conned' and the public lose out as a result.
  • Ok this has already got really complicated for me, I aint very good at all this terms and condition stuff lol!
