Do you need to cancel first before calling that number?

yes. Can only deal with you if you have put in cancellation first

I’m finding this very difficult to believe!
£52 for everything plus £50 credit?

Full price would be £200 a month?

I posted a similar deal for £51/mo back in January (though without TNT sports & the £50 credit) so it seems very believable to me. Well done on a good deal mits999. It often surprises me that people are happy to settle on paying more for less.

I got M250 plus landline with anytime calls for £20/month without even giving my notice, just suggested it. 😊
All done with just one call to 150.

thank you bobblueuk, just for reference I did not put in notice to cancel, I was in month 17 of my 18 month contract, I also made a few calls the males offered the best deals, so avoid the females at all cost I also asked for £100 credit but settled on £50 and new contract is 24 months

they being calling my dad directly, he has about a month to go, he’s not answered them yet, I’ll deal with them next week. Odd that they being proactive. I guess it’s partly to do with him still using TiVo aswell

Very believable. I was paying similar last year, £55 I think. Bizarrely the deal was lot cheaper than just having sports, all very odd. You have to negotiate after cancelling and mits999 is very good and knowledgeable about how far they can go
