    Last day tomorrow and havent had a call for three weeks (£15 cant remember how many mins etc but not as good as the £5 month 500mins 100 texts nokia 6500 I got in June on my wifes phone) Any idea how long I should leave it tomorrow what time do they finish I dont want to go on to PAYG on Thursday!?

    Update no call received so had to phone and accept a standard website type deal £15 300 mix and match sony w660i. This is my business line so couldnt risk losing it for anytime. Annoying as I rejected £5 month on a 6500 slide 500 mins 100texts about 2 months ago!

    It is now 2 weeks since I gave my 30 days notice and still no call from them, I would really like to stay with 3 because I have had no problems with them at all. The customer service has always been good too.
  • Was on Direct texter 1400 for 18 months £35 a month

    Offered and accepted today

    Direct Texter 1400
    50 Video Calling
    50 MMS
    250 Mins
    1000 Texts
    12 Month Contract

    Samsung Soul Phone

    £24 a month?


    Oh man i am soooo mad :mad: :mad:

    I accepted the above deal on Wednesday and received my new phone yesterday, had a play last night, updated etc.

    I call today about a minor query and find out i have been charged £25 for this phone! No where in the 59 minute conversation i had with 2 ladies on Wednesday did they say they were gonna charge me £25 for the handset.

    The man i spoke to this morning said, i can keep my new tarrif and not be charged for the phone if i accept an 18 month contract - why would i do that when i accepted a 12 Month contact - he then tryed to get me to accept the 300 mix and match for 18 months at £20, again i said (and in fact about 10 times by now) that is not the contract i accepted on Wednesday and if they cannot honour the contract i accepted they can have the phone back and i will leave 3. He said i could send the phone back if i have not put the sim in it - explained that of course i have put the sim in it, i am talking to him on it and as i accepted a contract and received my new phone yesterday , i am now using it! His closing statement "honestly, Miss **** i really think u should take an 18 month contract" :mad:


    Please help, i have left it that he will get someone in more seniority to contact me about this.

    Many Thanks

  • Mpazza, that is the only way to port your number from 3 to 3. I had to do this when my mobile was stolen in Iraq. In order not to have to buy a phone. I was bought out of the old contract and then given a new one. I ported the number to a virgin free payg sim. A month later I ported it back to my new 3 sim. Pretty straight forward to do and took about 1 month in total.

    obsessednewbie, write to their Chief Exec - you'll get your £25 back.

    I had to do a similar thing a little while ago and it was amazing how much more helpful they were!

    How long ago was that? It seems policies change from month to month.

    I've forgotten when my end date is now! Hoe can I tell?
  • I've heard nothing from them, was going to go with the Vodafone SIM offer with Quidco, but then decided to go straight for a contract with T-mobile. £25pm with a Nokia 6650 on Flext35 - so I can use my 'credit' to spend on Calls, Texts or Picture Messages (which is what I wanted) just a shame you have to pay for the voicemail which is rubbish.

    But £25pm, minus quidco at £40, its basically a £20 contract and I have to pay £50 for the phone ;) hehe

    Gonna use my PAC code early next week to port the number across.
