In that case, you can have it on T-Mobile for £21.42 per month.

You will have to port your number to another network and then back in to get this deal or simply sign up as new customer with a new number.

Thanks - Il keep this mind when dealing with retentions.

I'd quote that Three offer to retentions even though you've got no intention of signing up with Three, they're more likely to try and beat it.

If you quote them the T-Mobile offer they'll just say 'we can't match 3rd party retailers' and not bother to offer anything better as they know you're going to end up with them anyway.

Quick question

Im about to phone TMobile to ask for a PAC then see what retentions offer

When they call back to make me an offer how long do I have to accept it?
Is it pressure to decide on the spot or do I have a few weeks?

Im asking as Quidco have had better cashbacks towards the end of the month recently which may be a factor for me

Many thanks

You would have to accept or reject it there and then.

TMobile dont love me any more

Ive been a customer for a few years and was eligible for an upgrade this week

Their website offered absolutely nothing of note so I phoned up asking what they could do with a Samsung Galaxy S3 - I was subsequently offered a stock deal from their website which really wasnt anything special and in fact was poorer than those available to new subscribers

I then explained my interest in the new iphone whos release is coming in a few weeks and mentioned I was prepared to go PAYG until the autumn - this prompted another offer of a £20pm SIM giving the same deal as one from Giffgaff at £10 but with a 12 month tie in!!!!!!!!!!!

Understandably I politely declined this too and asked for my PAC which would cost me over £20, this charge was then dropped when I queried it thanks to this site but without a satisfactory explanation as to where it came from

Ive been waiting from a call back from retentions for a couple of days but no joy yet
Im seriously tempted to wait for the iphone but would have taken the S3 at a decent price, but as they wouldnt even match that advertised by the CW with a good Quidco cashback on top Im happy to go PAYG with Giffgaff and wait

Best of luck everyone

PS I am on a contract but due to travel have spent double my usual monthly amount for 4 of the last 6 months so had imagined Id racked up some points on their system for upgrades

Love the look of the S3 but seems big and delicate and im not a huge phone user but would like to use internet more out and about.

Samsung Galaxy S2 here for £13.12 per month with 100 minutes, unlimited texts and 750MB internet.

HTC One S on T-Mobile with 300 mins, unlimited texts and 250MB internet here for £15 per month on T-Mobile.

Galaxy Ace 2 here with 100 minutes, 500 texts and 250MB internet also on T-Mobile for £6.83 per month on an 18 month contract.

Nokia Lumia 710 here on the same 18 month contract as the Galaxy Ace 2.

Since you're not a huge phone user, the Lumia 710 or the Galaxy Ace would make the most sense, no point paying out more money for something like the One S or S2 to get the same amount of minutes or extra minutes you won't use.

To get those deals above, you will have to sign up as a new customer which will mean getting a new number or porting your number to another network and then back onto T-Mobile again.
