3phones/Clubmobile £4.49pm offer

IvanOpinion

A friend of mine has seen an advert on https://www.3phones.com that gives you
- an LG U8120 mobile phone
- 500 anytime any network minutes
- 100 message texts
for the princely sum of £4.49 per month.
You have to sign up to a 12 month contract and then you have to pay £30 per month but should get a rebate of the difference in months 7, 10 and 13.

Many other sites are doing a similar package except that they are charging £15.00-ish for the same deal.

Does anybody have any experience of 3phones (ClubMobile) - is this cosher?

Thanks

Hi!

This is actually my first attempt to post anything so here goes....

I've actually seen the same deal as you as well as other ones for about £15. I'm with vodaphone at the moment but my contract has now ended - i've requested my pac number from them two days ago and when the guy asked me why i was leaving i told him..its actually cos i'm paying £30 for 200 mins any network(i was previously on a 400mins&150 texts for £25 1/2 for 6 months) i was given 150 free txts for 1 year because they messed me around last year but when it came to me dropping down to a lower tarif they said i couldnt have the free texts!! then they told me that they had been charging me £9 since last march anyway so i never had them to begin with - cheeky buggers. so anyway they sent me a text to say they'll sort it and i also wrote a letter but heard nothing. After hearing my long story the guy didnt even bother to offer me anything to keep me(a customer of 7yrs)so i left it.

Today, i spoke to a manager who apologised loads for all the **ck ups and preceded to offer me apackage to make me stay...so here i was thinking he'll give me anything..

he offered:
200 mins x network half price for 6months(£15)
100 free txts for the year
and a Sharp GX30i for £30

To be honest i dont think thats any incentive for me to stay especially with all these offers going around..

I've been reading up and asking around about 3 and havnt really got any positive responces only one person i know has no complaints except for the customer services being in india and unable to help!

Apparently, 3 arent actually a network as such and are under O2 (??) but all o2 customers get preference over 3 customers - dont know if anyone knows any more on this?? also, if there are alot of o2 people in you area making a call on 3 is terrible??

I'm still in two minds as to whether i should change to 3 and kiss goodbye to overpriced (but good reception) vodaphone..

I dont wanna commit to a contract that wont let me make any calls...cos coverage seems to be the most common problem with 3.

Does anyone have any ideas please????

thanks!

Sorry! forgot to say that they are legitimate deals, my friend has the same one you mentioned and she gets the rebate so it does work!

thanks
