Is the '3' £17.50 18 month contract the best deal?

hmm seems like a good deal considering you dnt have ro claim cashback

Does anyone now if the late payment charges of £10 made by NTL is legal, ?
I don't remember anything in my contract regarding this when I signed on for thier Phone and tv services in March 2001. Also, is it legal to charge me £5.00 per month, if I don't pay by direct debit?

Right, I've just checked with customer services (on a free number, obviously;) ) and it's definitely not a cashback basis. Also, there is no clause tying you to the £35 per month after 18 months. One other point to bear in mind is that the phone is a refurbished one, but it should last 18 months! All I need now is a 'friend' to refer me..........anybody know the appropriate place to post a request?

Hubby and I did this. I went through Quidco, hubby recommended me, so two lots of money back! Brill.

My plan wasn't as good as this, though. Still a great deal. I'm very happy with 3. I've been with them for 3 years.

I see that the refer a friend offer is finishing tomorow! What do you think the new offer would be, if any? What was their rewerd before the £30 one? I would be gutted if it is something better than this.

EDIT: Oh, another thing! Say you finish your minutes by the end of the month, would the extra charges be deducted off your £30 credit? e.g. say my bill was £20, will I have £10 left or be charged fully?

Just ordered my contract.

The 750mins with 150 texts, 18 months contract and 18 months @ £17.50. Got the Nokia 6233.

Cant wait, went through Quidco and used a 3 number. By the way the persons number I used may get cut off as they are porting their existing number on to the number I used for the refer a friend scheme.

Would it still work?

I'll get £100 via Quidco + £30 if reccomended by someone (still looking for that person). It equals around £10-£11 per month for 750mins + 150 texts or was it 200 texts? I dont need the texts but overall thats a good deal considering I'de easily spend £10 on top-up every month with less minutes.

I would only use this contract during peak hours as I have a o2 contract which gives me unlimited x net minutes between 7pm-7am and weekends.

What do you lot think, I'm learning this stuff day by day, any help, tips or reccomendations of other tarrifs would be highly appreciated!

Don't know... Does any of this answer your question.. This is the only terms and condition three put on the web site. The only thing I'm disappointed with is the battery life on the N80.. The phone has got so much on that I will never use and I suppose it all takes a bit out of the battery life.. My last two phones have been sony ericssons and I'm a big fan so it might be a list the nokia on ebay and buy a K800i... I'll have to try it for a week or two and see if I get used to it..

Terms and conditions: referred friend must buy direct from 3 via three.co.uk/shop or call 0800 3586796. Offer must be mentioned at time of placing the order as it cannot be applied later. Credit will be applied to existing customer and referred friend 60 days from new customer's connection. Not available to customers where accounts are in arrears. Only available on a minimum term contract of 18 months. Credit cannot be redeemed for cash for any reason. Offer available until 31st January 2007.

[FONT=&quot]There are not that many phones that you can get the full 18 months half price.. Look for the phones with the model number ending in "r". These are refurbished phones but are quite often new and they carry the same guarantees as the "new" ones.. There is no cashback involved (except for the £100 through quidco).. Also go through the recommend a friend link on the three home page for £30 for you and your friend.. You enter your friend’s number on the confirmation page and this is credited to you and your friends account 60 days from new user’s connection.. I hope this is of some use to you..[/FONT]..
