Three will always rinse existing customers. You can get better deals WITH THREE via buymobiles/CPWH, which they don't (say they can't) even match. Ludicrous!!

So this is what I always do so I get to keep my number and get the best deals......

In your last month, switch your contract to PAYG. This lets you transition your number to any contract.

Then, the very next day, you're free to move (keep) your existing THREE mobile phone number with your new contract. This includes THREE deals for new customers via re-sellers. You can't transition an existing three number to another second THREE contract even if they overlap by a day - they can only to it between two THREE contractsif one if a PAYG.

Don't be conned. :smile:

Yes, I don't want to ruin the party but I've never seen Three doing 12m contracts other than SIM only - unless it's a Three customer exclusive and I am a Three customer! I totally admit I could be wrong though.

I'd say the iPhone 7 offer they have is more worth shouting about than the S7.
Cue the haters

When the cancellations/upgrades team call you on the weekend (and they WILL call) tell them the only reason you are leaving is because of the letter and the only way you will stay is if they honour it.
Simple and you don't lose out either way.

i would take it instore and just try your luck one more time

I'm under the impression they issued the letter with the 'typo' on purpose to get me/others to move to another, more expensive, contract. They even had a designated line for letter recipients!
Their other SIMO deals on the letter are good (and legit) though - no denying that.
Three's network isn't even that great in our home but the deal was to good to ignore. :smile:

Just called up. IT was a typo indeed.
Demanded my PAC code and got send through to another department only to find out the would give a £5 off the total 24 month bill ...

Told them to bolt and should now receive by PAC code shortly. I'll expire the deal now.
Sorry folks :disappointed:

Three does sometime do good deals, my friend works there and tells me there are sometimes "glitch" deals, but they tend to honour those until a certain date.

But yes, it was for 24 months, but for like.. £14 per month for a really good phone that was worth about £400?

Bought 2 and sold the phones and gave my parents the sims - pretty much a 2 year free contract ^^

I would send a copy of the letter and a complaint to Three!

​That letter must be a typo.

No way this is 12 month contract for £32 with no upfront cost... something is not right here

Cheers for the info. I'm going to try them now. I'll send another post shortly.

Or if curiosity, would you have picked the S7 or iPhone deal?

I would like to think so but it doesn't help me as its not addressed to me. In addition the letter isn't a binding contract (not an expert) so they can just say no...i suspect. I've been on a 30 day rolling for a while now awaiting a decent deal and thought this was it but alas my wait goes on.

Ive just got off the phone with them and they are adamant this deal does not exist. They assume it is a typo and should read 24 months as they don't have any handset plans on 12 month contracts.

Terrible network who employ clowns as customer service agents.Have many a friend who have been lied to by these sharks and as for the network itself its terrible especially in rural areas.

U have to make sure it's 12 months and not saying from 12 month which only applies to simo

Both of those deals are unbelievable. IPhone 7 32gb that costs about £430 over the year. That phone sells for 500 quid at least. So you'd be getting 12 months worth of 4gb data for free and 70 quid in your pocket.

Seems too good to be true these. Either something happens after the 12 months of there's an upfront cost missing surely?

Cheers chap just checking pricespy cheapest brand new price for handset 32g is 499 so outstanding deal

If this is correct mackay85 snap there hands off because there losing fortunes.even being conservative and saying there buying there handsets in at 400pounds there giving you the phone free and the tarrif it's like winning the lottery.im so envious lucky you

I've added the letter as the main image. Hope this answers some contract length questions.

3 don't offer 12 month contracts on handsets, only on SIM only deals.

Can you scan or take a photo of the letter and post it for us to have a look at, please?

Three wouldn't make any money out of this deal if it were 12m duration contract. Website suggests it will be 24 months. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm going to call them first thing tomorrow. It definitely says 12 month on the plans that were on offer on the letter.

Expire

Nothing online

Fake deal. How does anyone get it?

Sorry, can't see this deal online.

​I am with three and they offer no upfront cost to existing customers they are always offering me new contracts with no upfront cost

Just went online to 3 it said 99pounds for handset this was s7edge

Does anyone know if Three phones are locked to the network or unlocked?

That's a great deal.

This is a great price heat for that.but s8 due out in the next couple of months so these deals will be common place.

Let me know if there are better deals out there
