Good Deal?

jambooboo

Last month I gave my months notice to cancel my phone on the 3 Network as I was coming to the end of the contract. I was paying £30 a month for 500 mins and 100 texts. I got it through dialaphone and got some of the money back by redemption (though stupidly other times I forgot!).

Anyway I got a call from 3 today asking if I would reconsider. Basically my contract runs out tomorrow and they're trying to get me to stay with them.

They've offered me a Nokia N70 on the same plan but with half price line rental for the first 6 months (making it £15 rather than £30) without any need for the cashback malarky. Then in month 10 they will automatically credit (again with no hassle on my part) my account with £109.20, meaning that the next three and a bit months will be covered, whereby I'll probably get a new phone (it's a 12 month contract rather than the 18 I'm seeing mostly elsewhere). After a bit of cautious umming and aahing on my part they guy also said they could credit the account by £10 in the first month.

They're ringing back tomorrow (tomorrow being the date when my present contract with 3 expires). I don't know whether to take them up on it. I've seen some attractive looking deals at the usual places (dialaphone, e2save etc), incentives such as a free Xbox 360 or PSP but I don't want to be tied down for 18 months.

Another thing is that I'm quite happy with the phone I currently have (an LG8138) so I'm thinking if I could get the new Nokia n70 unlocked to any network I could get a good price for it on ebay (£200-£300 seems the going rate from a quick scan).

So yeah what I'm wanting to know is whether this sounds like a good deal to people? I'm wonder if they'll perhaps give me something even better if I can come up with a similar deal elsewhere.

Thanks!

Same deal as they offered to me, but be aware !!!, it is not a new N70 (THEY DON'T HAVE ANY) it is a reconditioned handset.

Also the deal can be 12 months if you state that
