Mobile Phones

[Yinster]

3 Mobile, if you are with them always phone the cancellation line, not the upgrade line, it seems it's the only way to get a decent discount. When I phoned the upgrade line the best price for the same deal was £35 per month for a 24 month contract.

I did wonder if your contract was with 3 as it seem pretty good. The reason I say this is 3 has this reputation of not being the best network out there. It had this for years now. Good thing about your unlimited internet access is 3 is the only one I know where unlimited is truly that. The rest of the other networks say there are but there are not. They all have a cap.

As for getting a better deal with the cancellation department is that they are also called retention as they try to retain you as a customers so will always have better deals than their upgrade departments.

If I knew you were dealing with 3 I would probably encourage you to push it even farther as I do think you may have got an even better deal. Though the deal you have is pretty good.

I also got an offer of £20 per month but with 500 mins, 100 text and 1GB internet plus the free phone on 18 month contract, the mins & texts would have been enough for me but I didn't want to go over on the internet usage as that's where it gets expensive. As I understand from the guy I spoke to I can also use the phone as a mobile internet dongle for my laptop hence another reason to opt for the £25 deal with the 'all you can eat data' as they put it.

The price includes the VAT too, I confirmed that as I know they can sometimes add that on after so your deal isn't as good as it first seems.

Hey,

unearthed this thread! I've just started a comp thread here: http://www.fmuk.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=17573

and was going to use this for discussions.

I have a question for smartphone users. How much data do use per month and what kind of usage do you get for that amount of data?

Should comps go in the bargain board?

Are we turning into MSE? lol

And a question from me too: What SIM-only unlimited data providers can you recommend (I really don't need calling minutes or free texts, all I need is unlimited Internet)? So far the cheapest suggestion has come from Celini, which is £10 per month from Giff Gaff.

I don't think you will get better than giffgaff.

sorry where else should they go? a few of us have been passing them round by PM for a few months now but it's gets really difficult to keep track of comps, whether you've entered them already and ones which require daily entry so it would be easier to share them on a thread.

I just thought a separate thread in comps would be better

No because the comps section is purely for screenings comps everything else is to be in the general section so if you don't want it in bargains we could ask for it to be moved into general discussion.

And if no-one wants it in Bargains or General Discussion I'll take have it in the Sheffield board a bit like that scottish ones have hosted our cravendale codes thread.
