Afternoon everyone,
I just need a little bit of advice with a discounted Three mobile phone contract I have just upgraded to.
The upgrade was on the 6th of this month but the handset i upgraded to is out of stock and is until the 19th. I am being billed and charged for the service/handset which i have not yet received.
Does anyone know if this is actually legal to do this when it comes down to a contract?
I have upgraded from an £18 a month contract to a £37 a month. My minutes and data is the same as it used to be but the additional is for the handset.
Cheers

Is it illegal? No.
Is it a breach of contract? Perhaps, perhaps not, hard to say without the full contract text. I suspect not, but only a court could be the ultimate arbiter.
Pro-rata, you could be seen as being out of pocket by £6-7. If you call customer services for a moan about the handset being out of stock they may well give you £10 (in bill credit, not cash) to go away.3.6 kW PV in the Midlands - 9x Sharp 400W black panels - 6x facing SE and 3x facing SW, Solaredge Optimisers and Inverter. 400W Derril Water (one day).
