Is it true about 3

terryharman

Hey, im looking at some of threes offers and i found a phone i like, is it true that three glue in their sim cards into the phones if you buy direct from them?

Also, what kind of billing system is it, is it a cashback offer?

Im going to be buying a referb phone and it says £15/Month 18 months, normally £30. Is this a cashback offer?

Thanks

Terry

ive been with 3 for about 4 years now and not one of my phones has had the sim glued in (contract ). i cant see it and if they did im sure they wouldnt get away with it for long?

The glued sims are usually on Pay as you Go.

no cashback if you buy an offer direct from 3 - they only take the half price line rental every month ie £15 in your case

the deal is not a cash back deal no. its half price straight. you can get 100 £ cash back with the deal here tho https://www.quidco.com

ye ai know, i was gonna do that, looks like a good buy. £9.11/Month inc money back from quidco. No cashback to worry about, looks great, only thing it comes in plumb, oh well, just buy a new cover for it

Not the C975 I bought for myself and two friends who asked me to pick on each up for them.

Was also surprised, other friends said even when buying just a PAYG phone on Three, they took details, here they just took the £20 and handed over the phones (this was in a Superdrug shop).
