Ok, I see this offer on T mobile : 300mins+300txts+unlim internet+HTC G1 for £27.50 a month.

I tell that to 3, they come up with Mix n Match 300 for £30 a month + £97 upfront charge. They say their (3's) deal is better.

My question to them, how on the earth is 30 less than 27.50 (also with the 97 topup) I fear they have lost their profound knowledge of mathematics. I fear the company is doomed. Or maybe am I wrong, is 30 really less than 27.50, I fear I am off to mental hospital.

Not comparable deal then - the spec might be similar, the cost of the phone can be quite different.

I am not talking about phone. What I mean is they say that £30 pm is cheaper than £27 pm. Phone can be any. My questioning is how is 30 less than 27 when it even offers less mins/txts.

You might not be talking about phone, but 3 will be talking about phone. You already mentioned HTC as being offered by T-mobile. So what are 3 offering? A more expensive phone no doubt.

Get PAC code.

I was offered a deal the other day by 3 - a continuation of my current 1100 mix and match mins/text deal but reduced from £35 to £16 to month, £180 Comet voucher and a new handset (SE C903).
I got my PAC code a couple of weeks ago as I'm in the last month of my contract and was fully planning to leave 3, so I dismissed this offer without really considering it. Since then though I've realised I could take up this offer, sell my current N95 8GB handset, sell the C903 they've offered - for a total of about £300 - and buy whatever handset I fancied, still have the voucher and the great deal at £16 a month...
My problem is - do I phone them back and see if they'll still offer me the deal or wait it out and see if they get back in touch with me.... Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Did you get that deal after or before asking PAC code? Was it like they called you few days after you asked for PAC code.
