3 Retention Deals

butterbeanmash

I only got the loyalty discount with this plan. I didn't have one before-I don't think they would have given me one with the n95 8gb for £15 a month! And they wouldn't let me have the n97 on any internet inclusive plans except the M & M 300 at £35 pm (or £29 as they eventually offered).
So I'm not actually on the Internet Texter 20, just the Texter 20 with an Internet Max add-on, and a £5 loyalty discount.

Hi moneygypsy.just checking the 3 website...i can only find deal for the w595 with 500 minutes mix n match for £13.50 not unlimited texts.Can you point me in the right direction for this deal please...thanx.

Hi ,

Sorry my mistake - no unlimited txts just the mix and match thing.

In any case no magic phonecall from 3 yet. Unfortunately I can't seem to find decent deals elsewhere just in case - any advice?

Edit - Just a quick thought. Could I, for example, move to one of the SIM only options with another network (virgin let you keep your number) and then move back to 3 with my no. as a new customer and get the £13.50 deal that I want?

I rang to give my 30 day notice today (to move to PAYG), was offered the SE c903 on an 18-month £15 contract, on (I think) Mix+Match 300 + Unlimited Internet.

I rejected this offer - do the internets think that I'm likely to get a better offer than this - the c903 is nice, and the offer beats the website, but I'm not sure if it is that nice (I also can't decide if I'd prefer the 5800) - I'll be mainly using internets and 3-to-3 calls, so PAYG would be pretty cheap for me.

I also gave my 30 day notice today and was offered the following handsets on Mix and Match 300 (18 Months) :

Sony Ericsson C903 - £9.79 per month
Nokia 6700 - £12.79 per month
Nokia E71 - £14.79 per month

I'm not really sure if any of the above deals are good value for money, so I'd appreciate everyone's opinion on how good these deals are.

Hi,
Just a quick question please; if you are on a retention deal and the minimum time is up do you lose your discount if you don't renew?
Thanks for your help

I gave my 30 day notice about 15 days ago but just got offered a deal. I was on Mix and Match 300 (18 Months) which was costing me £30 which included a video pack. I was offered a deal because i sent a letter to complain about the custoemr service. I recieved a call from a different department and I have now been offered the same contract with a new lg viewty for £4.89 a month. Thats forever as they said they would keep this deal for however long i stay with three. I recorded the call and i am recieving the offer in writting. So i have accepted this.

not a bad deal if 300 minutes is enough for you

visiting the upgrades section on my3 gives you an idea of where the starting point should be for your haggle with retentions.

I get offered a various phones (skype, INQ1) on my £5 tariff, 18 months or you can see how much a dearer phone costs (N97 £266 @ £5 per month, 18 month contract).

I'm not at the end of my contract yet, but any information you have helps you when you play the game of chicken with retentions
