    Hi

    i got my boots phone yesterday,i took out a contract with 3 for video,talk and text 700 it stated on website that free inclusive mins were 600 cross network.

    i checked the phone to see how many i had when i got it before making any calls it said 400 mins

    i have contacted 3 and bootsphones and they are all saying its only 400 inc mins and its a typing error.

    upon checking website all video,talk and text 700 on all 3 phone 12 and 18 month contracts are the same (600 mins)

    so what do i do where do i stand ??

    thanks

    Kelly

    ring them up and tell them of your findings. If they wont budge then simply return the phone. i believe you can return it within 14 days
    Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D
  • Hi weddedbliss...thanks for that. I recieved my phone today and have just asked vodaphone the same question (hadnt read your post) and was told i cant transfer my number as its an internet order!!!!!! sounds like a crazy excuse to me. 2 different responses to that then..maybe worth enquiring more... i'll let you know if i get any joy!
  • just had notice that my samsung is on the way...despite getting an email yesterday to say it was on dely from manufacturers for 7 days...v happy bunny :D
  • Hi,

    Ordered my phone last Thursday, and have received it today. It is sitting on my desk being charged as I type. The pack had some information inside, but no details on claiming back the points in 7 months time. Will I receive another letter, or is it a call to their customer services, anyone know?

    Cheers
  • Also meant to add, that the phone arrived not sim locked, they must have been in a hurry to obtain stock. Great result for a years time when I may want to go to another supplier!
  • Be careful OP ... i spoke to vodaphone today and the £16 a month offpeak 1000 mins and 25o texts does NOT apply to any network as the OP has been quoted. Vodaphone told me that their OFF PEAK only ever applies to Vodaphone and landlines .. is this true ? Never been with vodaphone before.
  • yup its true, been with vodafone for a few years now on an off peak tarriff....free calls after 7 to landlines and other vodafones only.....and beware that the free weekend calls do not aply to bank holidays asthey did at one time...so dont go calling all your relatives christmas morning..it'll cost a fortune
  • Contrary to what i was told two days ago, I have now just been informed that you cannot transfer an Orange number to O2, just to T-Mobile and 3.

    It seems as though most of the CS people don't seem to know much about their products!

    Has anyone successfully taken an existing Orange number over to another network?

  • Just wanted to say thanks to the original poster. I ordered mine monday and it arrived yesterday ! I got the Motorola V220. Despite some mixed reviews on the phone its actually a really nice phone.

    Will be ordering the same phone for the wife to get a load more points.
