Im currently on three and paying £15 a month, im recieving 500 minutes per month.
My contract is up this month and im looking for a contract for around the same price with a minimum of 400 minutes.
Does anyone know any other contracts that offer the same?
Im looking for a good phone with it aswell, something such as N96 or any other latest phone with equal specs. I dontmind paying up to about £50 extra for the phone.
I wouldnt mind staying with three either but they seem to be offering me dissapointing upgrades. I mean 18months ago i got a k800i with my contract for £30. Now i want something that is actually an upgrade i.e. bigger camera, better screen , longer battery life, more features. But currently they are giving me shit upgrades such as the w595i.
Does anyone know if i can haggle with them?
Thanks |

You should be able to get a decent upgrade by now the amount of time you been with them. Though i dont know how 3UK or any contract works these days but paying only £15 per month that could be a reason they are offering rubbish upgrades. Try asking them what you can get for that monthly price. Oh and threaten to leave asking for your pac code and then they will give you a great deal with a great phone. Nokia N96 wont give you good battery life get a C905. Sorry i am not sure of best deals though some of the other guys on here will know. Good luck and report back on what you get. |

For £15/month you'll get jack shit I'm afraid. On new contracts Three only offer phones worth about £120 tops, so you'll have to really really haggle with them to get anything better than that.
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for. |

yes thats why you wont get a decent phone for free without paying through the nose for it if your on a low tariff
Phone?? What phone?? |

Exactly, 3 will offer you great deals in terms of minutes/texts for £15 but you wont be offered a top spec handset as well, one or the other im afraid! |

 Miss UK, I'm surprised you didn't stop your mate actually!

My mum had 2 contracts to her name with 3 UK.
She wanted to leave then (once the contract had ended) and she rung them up in the shop because the people wouldn't give her her pack code, bad story this, you ready:
She was in the shop for 3 hours on the phone, and the battery died, and like i said she had 2 k800i contracts, and again another 2 hours and the battery died, she went home, charged up, and rung them for another 1 hour, and the split second she said "watchdog", she had her beloved PAC code!

Apparently 3 are bad.
Whats wrong with the W595? Sure it's not got the features of an N96 but that doesn't mean it's a rubbish phone. |
