    I am on 300mins and 150 texts for life for £5 with three (been customer for over 3years)...DAK how i can get a better phone as a low cost upgrade. Currently have a Nokia 6280 and just want maybe a N95 or similar? or DAK any decent PAYG deals that can be used with my 3Sim.

    thanks

    Gave notice wished to go to PAYG. First telephone call passed onto someone else who I had great difficulty understanding and he come up with £10 a month new phone [don't know which phone] for 100 mins!! I said I would still rather go PAYG, he very grumpily replied "Well thats perectly alright with me please listen to the message." and off he went and I listened to the PAYG conditions!!
    I wonder if i will get another call?:confused:

    If you read through the thread you will see that the best deals are offered to people with about 10 days remaining before contract is turned into PAYG.

    Not in my opinion, you can nget 1100 mix n match for £20 + quidco + refer a friend, = less than £15 a month

    That is not unlimited texts and internet though ?
  • That sounds a great deal to me, just what I need for my daughter - how did you manage to get that?

    buy direct from three via your quidco account...and if you need a refer-a-friend, I've signed up for it and have the e-mail in my inbox ready for you to use :). When you buy, there is a link on 3's page for you to enter the referrer's number, couple of months later, £30 credit applied to both our bills :D

    this is from https://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk, apparently by entering BTddmmyySB (where ddmmyy is the current date) in the promo code section of the three website you will also receive a Bluetooth Headset and Memory Card with your order. I haven't tried it, so can't say for sure if this works but worth a try i guess (can anyone else confirm??).

    Here's a quick update about my retention offer. I didn't get a better offer other than staying on my current tariff but reduced from £30 to £20/month or mix and match 300 for £15/month. I've therefore ported my number to Orange PAYG so that its safe (BTW, was going to port to Virgin PAYG but they said i needed to spend a min of £30 before they would release a PAC code!), am using my sisters three phone and mins while she is abroad and will start a new contract going via quidco + refer a friend + BTddmmyySB in a few weeks. Hopefully, three might have some betters deals available by then.

    Lastly, according to Three terms and conditions (when i checked last week) the current refer a friend offer runs out at the end of april, does this promo get constantly renewed??

    I have given up on waiting 9and spending £20 each month for 100 mins/100 texts as my PAC runs out and I forget about sorting it!) - I am porting my number out onto a PAYG. They have a six month contract deal on 3 website (300 or 500 mix and match, Nokia 6288 - 300 will be £15 per month for 6 months - £90 - £32.50 from Quidco, - £30 RAF = £27.50 for the six months, £20 voucher for headsets etc and a phone worth at least £50 which you could sell on ebay - sound good? Still better than a cashback deal given the current problems being reported with e2save etc.

    I said I was leaving as there were unlimited text deals elsewhere with a new phone that worked out better. I refused their first two offers but indicated I would prefer to give them my money if they could give me a better deal. They compromised by saying I had to have an 18 month contract but I did not mind that as to get all those offers for less than £20 a month with a new phone I felt was unbeatable in the current market.

    P.S. My usage says "Unlimited Texts" could be 4000 a month. I don't think I could use half of those if I tried :D
