Contract due to end early November (£20 month, 'Texter' - usually no additional spend) so I called 3 yesterday, not expecting to offer me anything very exciting.
After a fair amount of good-natured haggling with the Indian call centre guy I ended up with (after he 'consulted his manager'):

200 minutes
2000 3-to-3 minutes
3000 texts
2GB Internet (initially offered me 1GB, but then increased to 2GB without me asking).
Samsung Galaxy S
18 month contract.
£15/month !!
£10 accessory voucher.

I am very pleased with that deal.

sounds like a great deal!

Im on a £20 'texter' too i think, also ending early Nov.

Wasnt going to stay with 3, but if they offered me this i may be persuaded!

The best they have offered me so far is £25/month (24 months), miles off your offer.
might mention yours when they call me again...

Hi everyone I have had a sim only £15 plan with three for around 18 months now which had 300 minutes unlimited texts and 1gb internet allowance I called for the pac code and was offered a fantastic upgrade by an outbound retention team the deal was as follows

Nokia 5230
300 minutes or texts
300 3to3 minutes
unlimited voicemail
unlimited skype
unlimited msn messenger
£5 a month for 18 months and this discount is for life

I could have had 500 minutes or texts with everything above for £8 a month for life the phone is coming today fingers crossed what do you guys think about my deal?

Think i'd just hold off and see what they offer, if you didn't want a new handset from "3" then you are likely to be offered something better than PAYG like what i have at mo which is; 300xmins, 1000texts for £5.

That would be perfect if I could get that. Do you think that three will price me anywhere near £25 a month for 18 months? Going by their website and posts here I don't think I will. Getting the handset elsewhere plus going to sim a contract like yours for £5 a month seems like the most perfect option to me.

I'm not saying i don't believe you but are you sure its a galaxy s and not a galaxy portal?
Because i've been offered nowhere near that and they've offered me some good deals from their outbound team.

Me dad called them today, for £11 a month Sim Only he got offered:

900 mins,
2GB data,
5000 3 to 3,
Free skype etc,

Lifetime discount, flexible upgrade within 12 months.

Not bad so he went for it. He wasn't too fussed about a new phone, the new phone upgrades were poor value on what they offered.

Did he get any free texts with that?
