3 Network begging me to stay!

AbsPhone

I've been using Cashback deals via the net over the last two years, ie £0 line rental and 600 mins every month etc :j I gave 30 days notice yesterday as my term expires on 24 Aug. 3 offered me the following deal-
DIRECT TALK 1000

750mins any time any network
150 txt messages
50 video call
50 MMS
£5 of downloads

£35 is original price but £20 loyalty discount and also £45 of credit.

So it is £135 for the whole year.

Should I take it? It's still £!35 more than I am currently paying of course But without the hassle of sending in cashbacks :T

Thanks for any advice

well, its not a bad deal BUT you might be able to get better. My mate refused their first offer and days later got a deal similar to yours but without the downloads for £3, yes £ three pounds per month for the 12 months if he stayed.

3 Network for £3- wow :j Thanks for the advice. The internet access is very important to me. I can't imagine life without being able to access our family's emails while doing the shopping

Are there any Cashback deals available at the moment for £0 offering internet access as well?

Three certainly don't give out free internet access, well not that I've heard. But their packs £2.50 for 10mb or £5 for 1gb are pretty good value.
Think you'd struggle to get it free on any network but maybe someone else knows better...

When I signed my deal last August, I received free internet access and to any websites. Does noone do that any more?

They don't do it anymore, I too had that deal but it was taken off when I upgraded. Other people have posted on here saying they tried to get free internet access out of 3 but no luck.

Your best bet is to pay as little as possible for the line rental then use those savings to get internet as an add-on

Do any of the other networks offer internet access?

I think you're worrying about the wrong thing - concentrate on how much line rental you pay or if a cash back deal what sort of phone you can get free etc etc.

Internet access is nearly always a paid add on and you are very unlikely to get any decent amount free, o2 sometimes give a tiny amount free - like 1mb or something.

t-mobile and three do the best internet add ons, t-mobile's is £7.50 per month.
