3 Retention Deals

Looks like someone I know at o2 is willing to offer me an iPhone on a 24 month deal with 30% discount on the contract.

Bye bye 3, hah.

I don't want to dissuade you from the iPhone but the reason you're being offered that is that a new iPhone is expected late June and iPhone sales have completely dried up months in advance.

He's gonna hopefully lay me out with a new one so I don't care.

Has anybody been able to get the internet add-on for free? I'm on £10 500/100 deal for life. I'm two months away from the end of my fixed term period and am being offerred he E71 for free as an upgrade NOT via retentions. I guess it's still too early to go down the retentions route but I doubt I'll get anything better than the £10 deal.

How did you get the £10 deal?

Started off on a cashback (via e2save) deal, then got 500/100 + handset via retentions. Base tarriff £30 with a £20 loyalty credit applied to every bill. Got a letter that says it's for the life of the contract.

Some people managed to get the same deal but with £25 loyalty credit but I wasn't so lucky.

Tempted to give 3 a call to see what they can do now I've got an offer on the table from o2. Bam.

Hi

I am on a 500 mins/sms Mix & Match package with 3 and they told me that I qualified for an upgrade, but when I asked for the details, they said that they noted that I had not exceeded my 500 mins per month (i.e. was not a big spender), so would just be willing to keep me on the same tariff. Are they likely to “increase” this offer?

I also saw a 3 offer (valid till 29th April) for the 1100 Mix & Match package for £20pm (18 month contract) reduced from £27pm. I will ask them if they can “upgrade” me to this offer and provide a new phone; if they refuse, can I cancel my existing contract (I assume that if I am entitled to an upgrade that I must be out of my contract period) and immediately sign up to this offer, or does there have to be a gap between cancelling your contract and becoming a 3 customer again? If I cancel, could I ask for a PAC code and transfer this to the “new” 3 phone?

Thanks!

Guy tried to just slag off the iPhone and offer me a Blackberry for £25 a month, told him to do one.
