I cancel my 3 contract due to the 3 like home issue. I was wondering if anybody has cancelled and then recieved a call from 3 offering deals to stay?

  • I sent a letter requesting the PAC. 3 then called me and seemed to be offering apparently daft deals for me to stay. But i was leaving because of the customer services and poor reception - there was not way i was staying.

    After being on the phone for 55mins and losing all self control i got the pac.

    You see I'm happy enough with 3 signal wise but requested the PAC as a ploy to get a better deal with them. Currently pay £16 for

    300mins, 250 text, 50 video& picture messages and £5 downloads

    I know the deal at the min is good but I'm chancing my arm to get a better deal.;)

    They offered me a Sony G502 with 300 minutes, 1000 texts, 50 video minutes, 50 multimedia messages and £5 downloads for £7.83 a month (but they take into account your previous bills and how long you have been with them - I was there 3 years with most bills around £35)

    How long after you cancelled did they call you back?

    I've been with them 3-4 years, cancelled on 28th May. Bills £16 from Feb 2009 and in 2008 normally around £21

    Would'nt mind a call from them offering a deal similar to yours

    Well what a surprise they just called me. They offered

    Sony g502, 750mins, 150 text, 50 video calls, 50 pic messages

    for 18mths £9.79 or 12mths £11.74.

    I was going to take the offer, then the 3 sales guys says " so if you want this deal we can do it for you but you will have to pay up the rest of your contract and that will be £107.49"

    I told them I didn't want to pay and they wouldn't back down, even after speaking to their supervisor.

    So I never took the deal.

    For all that have been offered or already changed beware that they may try and charge you this.

    cheeky blighters, the 'rest of your contract' doesnt exist though surely as they have accepted termination of said contract ????
