Firstly, apologies for the title, kind of butchered it a bit :smile: , Anyways! I'm always on the hunt for the best sim only deals to fill our wonderful Sim-Only megathread here, and spotted these on the hunt.
mobilephonesdirect have a few offers with Three, that when combined with their cashback, results in a tidy little saving! I spotted some that may be of interest;
It's worth noting that deals 1 - 3 are mail in redemption for the cashback. The process is straightforward, but not automatic. You can look at the process below:
If your deal included a cash back by redemption or a line rental discount this will be shown on your order confirmation email. Your cash back is claimable in five instalments over the initial duration of the airtime agreement. Cash back on 12 month contracts must be claimed during billing months 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 from the date of connection or upgrade. Cash back on 18 and 24 month contracts is claimed during billing months 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 from the date of connection or upgrade.
To claim, simply fill out our cash back claims form which can be found in the ‘My Account’ section of the website.
Please note that claims must be received within 60 days from the date shown on the mobile bill you provide to be valid.
Once approved cash back is paid within 14 working days directly into your bank account as supplied by you at the point of ordering.
Please note that you cannot claim a cash back if you have cancelled your order, disconnected the SIM card from the network, or you have changed your price plan with us, or with the network. The mobile bill you provide to us to at the point of your claim must be in relation to the mobile number we connected or upgraded. If you ported a different number to your new contract, the bills then need to show the number you have ported to.
If your contract includes automatic-cashback, you do not have to claim for this and it will be paid within 90 days of connection.
Cashback will become void for customers who disconnect from the network prior to their payment being made.

Amazing how many times I hear this, was skeptical myself a few years back but after being with three for 4 years I have never had a problem. I live in a fairly rural town and even here we get 4G. I really don't think there's much of an issue and you can always use the coverage checker. Ps. I don't work for Three!
Also, customer service I have never had a problem with, they have always been most useful unlike some horror stories I hear about with other companies.

Ooh is it worth it. I'm out of my existing contract and paying £20/mo for unlimited data, 200 mins, unlimited texts. Is it worth lower overall monthlies with cashback if I have to manually claim them?

Just thought I would add that I've used mobile phones direct loads the last few years for my contracts and never had an issue with cashback.

Jump through this hoop, that hoop and the other one and you may get your cashback.. :wink: It boggles the brain why they don't just say you can have it for this but if you disconnect before the agreed time you will be billed the full amount.

I am already on three, how can I change my contract to one of these, Ive been with three 12 years and on a rolling monthly contract. Do i have to cancel and start a new contract with them? Or can I move over.

I am also in a similar deal. If you wish to keep your number you need to move your current contract over to PAYG, purchase the new sim and then ask them to transfer your old number over. No PAC code as staying in the same company. I am waiting for mine to change to PAYG on 11th before switching.

what are 3's retention deals like at the moment?
Missus is on a 600 mins, unltd texts, 4 gb data £15 per month atm (she had 6 months half price).
coming to an end July 3rd - fancies a galaxy s7 which is on 3 for £24.99 a month via mobilephonesdirect. Will 3 price match?
Also my Mum is sat on a £14 per month deal with 600 mins, 5000 texts and 4gb data came off contract back in April. She likes the use in Europe but could do with a price cap which 3 don't offer (got stung on a few occasions on the ferry etc she's not very tecchy)... thinking ID mobile.
Opening post
2. Three (12mo) - 200m, Unltd txt, UNLIMITED 4G, £24PM (Poss £16PM when cashback deducted)
4. Three (12mo) - 600m, Ultd txt, 30GB 4G, £19PM (Poss £16 when cashback deducted - AUTO cashback, no mail redemption)
