T-mobile F&R scheme & redundancy

garyw73

Hi all,

I took a contract with T-mobile back in Feb (i know - what WAS i thinking ) and had it at half price on their friends and relations scheme.

My aunt who worked for T-mobile has just been made redundant! So they are taking me off the F&R scheme :eek: doubling my contract up to £40 a month again, which i can't really afford to pay.

They told me via a very "jolly" text - like it was my absolute pleasure - that they were going to start charging me £40 a month again!

I would have been fine with this if she had left of her own accord, but she was made redundant -shameless doesn't really do them justice does it!

No thats not right, the text message said that i would revert to my original contract as of 10/08/09 as my F&R referrer had left the company......

it is within the T&Cs of the F&R discount that it will be removed at the end of your contract if the employee leaves t-mobile

see

http
/t-mobilefriendsandrelations.tmw.co.uk/TermsAndConditions.aspx

If you leave or retire from T-Mobile or the selected service partner, or if you're still working at the service partner, but no longer on a T-Mobile contract, your friends and relations will stop getting their discount from the time their current T-Mobile minimum term ends.

if i were you id call up and get them to check when your contract ends and the exact expiry date of the discount

They really ought to allow current contracts to run their course at the discounts - it's only morally correct.
