My Three contract ends on the 15th of Feb. I called Three to ask what they could offer me, they came back with
Free Sony Ericsson K610i
VTT700 Price Plan Free for 9 Months on a 12 month contract
I turned it down as I wasn't interested.
Three called me back this afternoon and offered me
Free Sony Ericsson K610i
100 Minutes per month
100 Texts per month
£7.93 inclusive credit on my account per month
All for free!!! :beer:0 -

i got the same one just now:)and i was nice to them. the supervisor even offered me free of charge to unlock my current phone but not the new one tho:(oh,well, still good.:)0 -
Or maybe you should have done this:
Free Sony Ericsson Z610i Black, sells on ebay for £90+
http://threestore.three.co.uk/offerdetails.aspx?offercode=18VDT5D002&id=1200
£15.00 a month for 18 months
500 anytime any network mins
18 month contract
Get £70 cashback from quidco
£15 x 18 months = £270
- £70 quidco = £200
- £90 from phone = £110
£100 divide by 18 = £6.11 per month
If you text a bit then you can get a bolt on for extra £5 per month for 75 texts.Kind Regards

How Come ??? I called them last Friday to give my notice, and was offered 610i on VTT350, worked out at £80 for the year. Said I'd think about it. Called them back today, but they wouldn't budge, even told me they'd stopped the 100+100 tariff.
Will now wait and see what happens between now and March 13th, contract termination day.
Still have my £6 fir the year other contract with them 'till November.....maybe that's the problem............Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0
