Since I've seen someone posting a retention deal on EE I thought I'd do the same for Three.
So I called them today to ask for my PAC code and after talking a few minutes here's what they gave me:
12GB
600 min
Unlimited texts
Feel at home Europe (free roaming)
£11
Monthly rolling contract.
Hope it can help people.
EDIT: A lot of people seem to struggle to get a good deal.
First of all being with a provider for several years helps a lot
Then you need to call them every let's say 10-12 months to "upgrade" your contract
- Threaten to leave
- Ask for you PAC code
- Mention other offers you've seen on internet
- Tell them it's a shame that you leave because you like their services blablabla
I went from a 24 months contract paying £36, to a monthly rolling 4GB @ £15 to 8Gb @ £13 to finally 12GB @ £11.
Hope it helps

Since we're being ludicrously pedantic here, why the odd use of capitals? :neutral_face:

If they don't offer. The Chances are you've found a jobs worth.
Plenty of them in India just like the U.K. U know the type of person who'd rather be on the dole than work.
Just hang up and try again. People are people. Some are in a good mood. Some aren't.
Being polite and friendly goes a long way

They will not offer that straight after your contract. Don't aim too high first of all. Mention offers you've seen online. Tell them you don't want to leave because you like their services

I left last year also after being within since 2003. No retention deals that were better than what anyone else was offering

I've two contracts with 3 due up tomorrow. If they don't do me a deal I'm off. What's the EE contract people have gone for please? I would like to keep the option of "feel at home" but don't know if others offer it. Thanks in advance for any help and replies.

I went with the £19.99 EE 12 GB deal. £50 cash back via topcashback. Was paying for Apple Music so got that free for 6 months and BT sport app. This also has a feel at home type deal in Europe.

if you're on a good deal now they won't change u to a worse deal, it stays the as it is. I thought they put u on a standard deal but they don't.

Networks may still charge for roaming but the price is capped. It'll become completely free from June next year (so you'll be able to use your calls, text and data anywhere in the EU without charge). Until we leave the EU, then who know what'll happen. But that's probably 2 years away and all our contracts will have expired by then.

That's about 29 days overdue. Would have been most beneficial to ask for PAC code(s) the month before contract end to prompt an earlier deal, especially as contracts tend to be paid monthly in advance and the PAC request is deemed to be notice but only if used.
