Were you promised a deal for life on 3?

I know that in the past 3 have offered some customers good deals and said they would be for life. Are they in fact honouring those deals as I take it nothing would have been put in writing to that effect?

    They are for life unless you upgrade and change tariff.

    If they want you off the deal they will just make upgrade time uncompetetive.

    I doubt if anyone given a deal for life has yet reached the first anniversary of receiving it.

    i overheard a CS guy in the three shop tell a customer it definitely wasn't for life. but would you believe someone who works in a mobile phone store?

    I'm fairly sure those deals would be honoured - after all, its said deal for life unless you upgrade, change tariff etc. When you upgrade, that's when they'll make you change. And at some point or another, the majority of consumers want a new flashy phone
