Hi Guys,
Just to let you know, my contract is coming to an end in 1 month. So I phoned 3 to cancel. When asked why, I said another network will offer me 500 mins 100 txts and a new Sony Erickson K800i for £15 per month on a 12month contract.
The lady got it down to £15.31 per month and said they would also give me £15 towards a bluetooth headset after I asked.
I asked when this would all happen. My phone will be here tomorrow and the money will be credited to my phone account straight away. Meaning that my phone will be free for over 6 months. Then £30 per month after.
Total cost £360. Cash in advance £176.25. Plus £15 next month as a goodwill gesture for my bluetooth I asked for.
£360 - £176.25 - £15 = £168.75
£168.75 divided by 12 = £14.06.
The best thing is there is no returning of bills and I get the phone a month early. I will have to keep this for 13 months because the new contract doesn't start for 30 days.
Also at the moment I am using a Nokia 6280 which I will sell on Ebay for about £120. Makng my yearly outgoing about £48 or about £4 per month.
By the way the other company I talked about was ficticious.;)
