3 contract up for renewal

yorkshireterr

Hi,
my contract with 3 runs out on 8th of november. I have sent them a letter cancelling the contract and intend taking out a new contract. I really only want a reliable phone to talk on. At the moment I need my 12 month bill to send to e2save for my £100.00 quid cashback.
In order of importance these are my needs:-
reliable company for cashback
cost over year
long battery life
and once again any way I can claw moneyback eg rpoints, refferal etc
I would like at least 400 xnet minutes not bothered about text,
thanks to anyone who could offer advice.

will they accept your letter of cancellation this early. from my experience, i was told that i could only cancel 28 days prior to end of contract. ie. give 28 days notice?

I don't see any reason why you can't give them more than a month's notice of your intent to cancel the contract, you just can't give them less than that. I would follow up with a phone call to make sure they received the letter though, Vodafone twice competely ignored my faxed notices of cancellation and charged me for extra line rental even though I know the faxes went through to the number they had given me- robbing gits:mad:.

Anyway, I'm in almost exactly the same boat, except that I want to keep my number. I reckon that this time round I'll probably still get the best deal with 3, and I've been happy with their service (good coverage round here)- but I'm not sure how to cancel one contract and then get another and carry my number over from one to the next.

the easiest way to cancel is to call 333 on your mobile, I did it today - although i had to go through about 5 different people to do it

I was going to cancel my contract until they offered me a better deal than i was going to get... another 6months half price line rental (not cashback though, actually done through them) and a new Nokia 6680 phone... plus will change to cheap tariff after 6 months.
