Apologies if this is not news...
Got collared by by someone outside a mobile phone shop (Phones 4U) yesterday - normally would have told them I wasn't interested and moved on:mad: until .... he offered me a way to get away from the awful nightmare that is 3.:D
Depending on how long you have left on your contract (I had 6 months) you can transfer netwroks (to Orange or Vodafone) and they will give you the money to pay off the rest of your 3 contract!!!!
You have ot reduce you tariff at 3 to the minimum and keep it 'active' to the end of the contract but when you cancel it at the end you get the money back from Phones 4 U.
Deal I had was this....
3 contract was costing me £48 per month - new Orange one is £35 (free top of range handset:p ). Have reduced 3 to £25 per month. Will get £70 from Phones 4 U in bank account next week and £150 at end of contract (next Feb).
Is a bit more per month obviously whilst paying for two phones but you do get it back and you get away from possibly the worst phone company (with definitely the worst "customer service" call centre!!!!!
Sorry if this is a bit long but thought it might be helpful...:j

I heard about these deals not so long ago from phones 4u. Its a brilliant deal if you want to save a few pound on your termination fee. My only concern would be whether or not 4u actually followed through with paying the money in your bank account. Has anybody had one of these deals and had the money paid to them?0

sounds funny in some way ....the 70 quid is directors discount and probably will be in your account after your cooling off period of 14 days ....
the 150 ...is probably because its a phone in the clearence handsets list ....i think u get that as cheque back on your 6th month
what store did u buy the contract from?0
