Three - Multiple contract

Hi,

My Three contract is up for renewal and the button on my iPhone 4 has died so I would like a new handset. I'm not too bothered about an iPhone 5, but the contract price differences between 4s and 5 is so minimal if I'm going to tie myself in to a 24 month deal I'm thinking I'd probably prefer the newer option.

My partner is also due for renewal with Three. Does anyone know what type of multi contract discounts Three offer? (If any - but they are always calling me during the year to tell me great deals are available).

We were both looking to reduce costs but iPhones hold their value and the contracts are expensive I think.

Thanks. Any help appreciated. :)

    No phone holds its value, why not go for the s3 better phone.
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • Hi thanks. Sorry - I didn't really mean 'holds it's value' in the sense that they are an asset. I meant the older handset versions still command pretty much the same price when taking out a contract.

    Sorry my fault - I wasn't really clear there!

    Networks seldom offer multi contract deals unless you're buying enough to qualify for a business account.

    You could look into that - perhaps a sharer plan, or just try the retailer - if there is fat in the deal you can often negotiate cashback, or an enhanced trade in value with the likes of gnomes4u or CPW.
