    I just phoned 333 and asked to speak to customer services. Tell them when you took the contract out there was no trafficsense nor throttling, now there is and effectively the terms of the contract have changed thus you wish to cancel the contract.

    If they tell you they need the phone back tell them the contract has nothing to do with the phone, the phone was either paid for or a gift for taking on a more expensive line rental.

    This worked for me. You might need to provide proof of purchase however.

    Just been on the phone to them and they are having none of it. Waiting for a manager call back - any advice on what you said to get them to agree to this?

    Shouldn't you be able to keep the phone as it's not part of the contract?

    What if you part paid for your handset? I paid £199 for my iPhone with a £35/mo 24mo contract. Would I get to keep it and get it unlocked or return it and get my £199 back plus void the contract?

    Thanks

    Edit: to add, I would want to port my number to tmobile (sim only or full contract depending if I keep the phone)

    Ideally I would too, get it unlocked and go for a sim only plan for a few months until the next one comes out. I want to see what happens to others before I call them, need some ammo to throw in their faces and choose my options.

    Just sent an email to the executive office. Lets see where that leads.

    Could you tell us their email? I would like to email them rather than phone ideally (having it in writing always helps).
