    I hope to go for the 1100 mix and match for £20 providing that offer is still there in September! The £65 CB brings it down to £15 per month with the skype phone.

    So does requesting a PAC automatically cancel my contract with them, or do I still give notice? At which point can I port my contract to a PAYG?

    Also, when you order online does it give you the option to let them know the PAC or existing number so that it transfers over?

    Remember that for any 18month contract you can also use RAF. Also remember that quidco cashback isn't always guaranteed and the rates vary, as do the Three offers.

    The PAC will only serve as a notice if you use it. If you don't use the PAC within 30days of requesting it then the contract will continue as normal (until you request to cancel -giving 30days notice, or asking for another PAC - again to be used in 30days.) You can request it 30days before your contract is due to end.

    Its always best to call CS and confirm all dates etc. At least then they'd note down on your account you might be thinking of leaving and so persuade you with offers to stay. I didn't see anywhere to put the PAC on the order form.

    But like I said, it'd be best to call Three CS to confirm all details relating to your account. :)

    Even on a renewed retention deal? How does one do that?

    I'm not sure you would be able to do that with a retention deal as the deal is carried out over the phone. Normally with their special offers they wont allow RAF to be used. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask about RAF when they offer you the deal :money:

    What a crap load of upgrades they offer.
    I am eligable for an upgrade on my Direct Texter Contract, (£17.50 a month, SEK610i, 100 texts, 300 minutes, 50 mms, 50 video minutes, 5er of downloads). Now this contract is amazing value.

    The best ugrade they will offer me at the moment is 21quid for mix and match 700, with a Nokia 6500 slide.

    What crap deals!
    New customers get it cheaper than this, does anyone have any advice for me?

    Thanks

    I would have that it was obvious?, phone up and cancel your contract, ask to be put on PAYG, wait for the offers, if you don't get any decent offers, then take out a new contract as new customer.
  • I was offered a 6500, 500 mins, 300 skype and other bits for a tenner for life - this I refused.

    Offered and accepted N95 8gb with above mins etc for £13 for life. It arrives Wednesday.

    Hi, has anyone managed to get both RaF (£30) and Quidco on the 6 months contract?

    Someone mentioned that you dont get RaF on the 6month contract - but how will they know that you will cancel after 6month, I mean you are automatically assigned a 18 month contract but you can cancel after 6month.....????
