No deal

I use EE for a mobile BB SIM and my phone SIM. They are both good deals as I went through retentions on each element as the initial contracts expired. My wife's phone SIM contract was dearer than mine and offered less minutes so I eventually got round to calling for a PAC so I could transfer it to EE. I was amazed at the poor deal they could offer which didn't match the retention offer I got when I asked for the PAC so I declined it and called the original provider (Talkmobile) to take the retention deal.

It seems that these days the only way you can get a deal is by saying you are going to leave. What that means is if you aren't on a retention deal you are probably subsidising the likes of me. Thanks very much.
