Three sales calls!
Ugh, I've received about 40 sales calls from Three mobile this week, which some were missed calls.
I just got a phone call again and I answered it, some Indian woman trying to sell me a contract. No idea where they got my number from as I have never had sales calls.
I hung up on her and she called back a further 6 times, continuously. I told her to remove my number immediately from their systems, which she continued to try and sell me this contract. I stated if they continue, any further calls will be deemed as harassment and reported to the relevant authorities, and kindly hung up on her.
The calls have stopped so far. :j
Whoever decided cold calling random people is the way to go, should be shot.

I thnk 3 and T-mobile are both pretty bad for this, they sometimes sell the numbers on (so on contract you get people trying to get you to move or take up a new one, or on PAYG they try and get you to go contract) or their own CS is just rubbish, which why I've chosen not to use either (couldn't cope with the constant "3 are gonna give you..." messages) (And before people get !!!!y bout the debt...it is a few years old now)** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
**SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
I do it all because I'm scared.

I got one this week, and I complyed with the young gentleman on the phone, and clearly stated.
"aah yes, i have an iPhone that's coming out of contract, and I'm really interested in a Blackberry 9700 / HTC Hero... "
Now, I thought I'd get some kind of deal thrown at me, because out of those 2 phones, the HTC Hero is offered by "Network three" (as they say on the calls, but we all know they are just a reseller), but, what I got was this response
"OK, well if we have any deals on those handsets, we will call you back. *CLICK*"
So, a surefire way to get rid of them in superquick time, because they only have offers on cheap crap handsets, tying you in to an 18 or 24 month contract...
