Samsung On '3' Network - Help

Luke90_2

Hello.

I have a Samsung 3G phone on the '3' network.
http://www.three.co.uk/Home

I have a 18 month contract, it started in November 2008.

I want to sell my phone to get some money as I desperately need it - and obviously keep my Simcard - Also I will need to get a new 3G compatiable phone to put my sim card in right? As 3G sims don't work elsewhere?

Anyone know of the cheapest 3G compatible phone I can get that accepts Sim-Card on the '3' network? Any phone will do, seriously.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks.

So my contract sim (on '3') should DEFINATLY work on any 3g phone yeah?

And what are examples of 3G phones, I really can't seem to find a cheap one on eBay

If your desperate for money cancel your contract

Cheapest new is circa £50, on ebay well I wouldn't chance it, 3 can block any handset that the IMEI is not on their database, 2G or 3G if its not a supplied 3UK phone the imei number not in 3's database shows you are not using a 3UK approved handset.

If they cut you off for such you get a final bill for the remaining period of your contract in one big bill and *may* lose your number.

no, not just now ! ^ read the link in post 3^

£15 for your unlock fee, & you will get more for the mobile & have no contract

Ok thanks - That thread is 26 pages I haven't got time to read all.

But if I rang up '3' today and I asked them to cancel my contract what do I say exactly?

And how much would I have to pay?

removal of 3LH, you want to cancel as per your T&C

Will they accept this as a legitimate reason though?

Could end up looking like a right idiot.

Yes they will take it but you need to be insistant and not get off the phone untill they do. The only reason I can think of them saying no know is if they informed you by text or email more than 30 days ago.

I would recommend reading though the thread though as you will see the come backs that you will get.
