EE retention offer (3 numbers on account)

I've been paying £7.5/month for 16 GB (4G data) for two numbers, and £9/month for 5GB (5G data) for one number. The prices include a 10% additional line discount applied, so the total was £24 per month.

I've been out of contract for a while so I called EE CS to lower the price - which they couldn't, so I requested the PACs for the three numbers.
I received a callback from retentions the next day and quoted the Smarty/Lebara deals of £6/month for 25GB 5G data. Surprisingly, the retentions rep agreed to it straightaway for all 3 numbers.

I am now paying £18/month (£6 x3) for 24 months, having increased the data and lowered the cost for three lines.
The additional line discount is not showing on the new plans - it would have been nice to get a further 10% off, but perhaps I got more than I would have otherwise...

    Sounds like a good deal to me.
    Ive been out of contract for ages with EE and I'm currently paying £12.20/month for 10GB (i use <1GB/month). 

    Think i will be getting off my backside tomorrow and doing something about it.
    Thanks for the heads-up.
