Phoned three to cancel my cuurent 1 month rolling contract (£12p/m 8gb, unlimited minutes & texts) and was offered a three essentials plan for £15pm, 30gb data p/m, unlimited minutes & texts with Go Binge. No hotspot or use in Australia or America, but I don't need those in the next year so have saved £3p/m for a similar offer on the Advanced plan.

What, you mean they can't retain you as a customer if you're not already a customer?

gtsteel to apjashley1

30 Sep 17 #21

No, but worth thinking about whenever you come near to the end of your contract whoever you are with.

gtsteel to apjashley1

30 Sep 17 #25

True, but always worth noting you can haggle with your current provider. Don't take their first offer.

Three is just killing the market, EE and Voda need to bloody compete with these packages coming out every day.

I'm with 3 so I'm on board but find coverage erratic.

Me too, and the call centres are useless.

I'm with 3, have been for nearly 2 years but out of the cities/towns, the signal strength suffers compared to EE/O2. Think I'll be moving to EE next purely from a reception viewpoint.

Heat given

rickj to roshambo

30 Sep 17 #13

Moved to plusnet who piggyback ee from 3 .Got to say I've found coverage to be no better than 3.In fact slightly worse.I travel daily around north wales ,Manchester ,Merseyside .I moved for exactly the reason you are thinking but seriously considering going back to 3.

roshambo to rickj

30 Sep 17 #17

Interesting as I'm moving to that neck of the woods towards the end of the year. Hmmm, I may hold fire before jumping away from 3 then.
I do enjoy the Feel At Home though, and with a US trip on the horizon, it may be good to stay for a while longer. Thanks for your input there @rickj

Thank you.

flylife to rickj

30 Sep 17 #26

I've done the same as you, live and work in south Manchester and the signal is similar to how it was with 3 but the 4g seems faster. Only a month by month sim with plus net so not sure if and when I will cancel to go back to 3 yet.

Wonder if ee would be better than both... But no decent sim deals about

Three have been the best reception in the Anglia area for me out of Vodafone & O2.

30 Sep 17 #33

Three also do fairly good 1 month rolling contracts, so might be worth a try. Then you can chop & change when better offers come up.

mungylee to roshambo

My basic Three contract comes with wifi calling. Its a life saver as reception in my apartment is awful

Just checked three website & you are right. Must have just been added for me as part of the retention deal. Main point is is always haggle as they are desperate to keep your custom.

No8 to gtsteel

1 Oct 17 #45

They weren't desperate to keep my business after 6 years. Only offered the same deals that new customers could get, moved to EE.

30 Sep 17 #7

What happens after 12 months? Do you get moved to another (more expensive) tariff?

IainTaylor to imranbashir_uk

30 Sep 17 #8

You stay on the same deal, unless you change tariffs.

gtsteel to imranbashir_uk

30 Sep 17 #18

Who knows. Better deals are always offered. The question is is "when the UK leaves Europe will our phone plans go up".

Delio79 to gtsteel

Hopefully not in the case of Three who have been offering cheap contracts, call charges and free roaming well ahead of various EU rulings.

You get hotspot & feel at home with three's advanced plan... it's just the essential plan where you don't get either.

i can start haggling for stuff like this from tuesday. i'm paying them £12 for AYCE Mins & Texts and 12gb of data at the moment so we'll have to see.

ideally i wouldn't mind a new handset but that might be a bit pricey

gtsteel to HankHandsome

30 Sep 17 #30

I tried to see if I could get the s8 at a decent price, but three weren't so hot on that. SIMO on the other hand was much better. Ask to cancel your contract & get through to the disconnections team as they have the better offers. I just asked for 30gb at £15 & that worked.

HankHandsome to gtsteel

30 Sep 17 #34

that's the plan, but I want to have a few offers ready to throw at them as well. in a perfect world, I'll be able to get 10-20gb for a tenner a month.

that said, I'm actually in no major hurry to re-up the deal either so I might even wait until black Friday in November and see if anyone comes up with something interesting.

gtsteel to HankHandsome

1 Oct 17 #50

Check out reply below. £60 difference per year on my plan.

rsh1:
I got 200 mins, unlimited text, 30G advanced plan for £10 a month. This was after numerous calls, complaints, showing unhappiness, getting PAC code twice over the last 2 months. To be honest their CS is sh*t in general and they wouldn't budge on anything. It was the customer complaints team who did it for me.

HankHandsome to gtsteel

1 Oct 17 #51

thanks for that, but I do also need unlimited minutes as well. i'm one of the 'old school' who actually uses a mobile to actually talk on rather than play games and stream things :smile:

as i said, i'm in no hurry to re-up at the moment so i can wait and see. three have said that my monthly price won't increase after november the 3rd when it reverts to a 30-day rolling sim, so that's ok by me.

You can get this same package for £10 after cashback at mobilephonesdirect. It's £18, but you get £8 cashback for every month, paid after the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th months of the contract.

New customers and current customers can keep number

Im a 3 customer how is this done?

dabe1971 to n7sabre

3 Oct 17 #67

My current Three 12 month deal has come to an end so I'm intrigued as to how I can get this from MPD and keep my number ? I can't see any mention of doing so on the site ?

Hustler1337 to dabe1971

3 Oct 17 #69

I'm in the same situation, but the only way you could do this is to take out the contract separately with MPD and call Three to cancel your current contract and ask for a PAC code. Then, get a pay as you go sim with another provider and transfer your number to that sim. Once it's been transferred, ask for a PAC code from your PAYG sim provider and transfer it to your new Three contract with MPD. Bottom line, it's a hassle.

Regarding reception I drove from Newark to Worthing and back on Thursday. I streamed my favourite internet radio station all the way there and back and in the whole trip the signal dropped twice (the same spot both times).

I really have no issues.

Oh and I rang yesterday as my contract is up and they did me this deal but with the feel at home package so it was £18. We do need this as we go to France twice a year, America once a year and we are going to NZ as well next year.

1 Oct 17 #38

I’m with o2 which are okay for signal but i was previously on Three who i found used to find that bit better for signal ( i don’t rate Three cs though o2 far better ) , EE though was by far the worse I’d never go with them..
I work various places about the northwest 90% the time so based on few locations.

I’m not voting on this deal as it’s for a customer rather than everyone being able to get it :angry:

I just got a retention deal for £12pm for AYCE minutes and texts with only 8GB of 4g data, and I came from £10pm for 4GB data with AYCE mins and texts. What do you think I should do to get this offer

1 Oct 17 #55

Haha thanks. And it's a monthly rolling as well ;¬) Trick is to ask them for plan change rather than upgrade.

Hustler1337 to rsh1

1 Oct 17 #56

Is it not better to ask to cancel and go through retentions? Also what number do you ring? I'm currently paying £25 p/m for 600 mins, unltd texts and AYCE data on a rolling month contract after my 12 month contract ended well over a year ago :disappointed:

Thanks

I just signed up to a 30gb advanced sim through mobile phones direct. Its £18 a month but if you claim cash back it works out at £10 a month. Sounds like a better deal and available for all, plus binge, hotspot and roaming

gtsteel to dazednconfewsed

1 Oct 17 #48

Great deal. I've missed one of the claim months previously & that messed up the whole process. Hopefully it's better now.

Keep pushing. Keep refusing & ask to cancel your contract to get through to the cancellations team. They will also offer you a better contract to keep you from leaving.

sambartle_theone

1 Oct 17 #57

As an exisiting customer you should be able to fairly easily get the same deal, but as an advanced plan (so tethering and more foreign destinations included) .. for 16/month..
It was that price for new customers last month (its gone up since to 18), so I rang up a week and a half ago and asked to be switched over to it (I already had it without go binge but was paying 24/mo), took 5 minutes with the first operator I spoke too.. no transfer to retentions needed.

Only problem is its 12 month.. Id have preferred to lock it in for 60 months at that price.

Why do people say XGB of 4G data? 3 don’t differentiate their data package or charge more for using data on 4G V’s 3G, so why do posters on here try to confuse things?

It's just there for clarity rather than to add confusion.

Three reception is horrible. There's a reason why they can do deals like this its because you won be able to use all that "all you can eat" data

Sorry, this deal is cold. Get a free sim from three, register online and "Get exclusive deals when buy additional sim plan or device". You can get the same SIMO deal but an advanced plan for an extra £1.

2 Oct 17 #63

I asked to cancel my daughters 12month sim contract and was offered unlimited internet n texts but only 600 mins for a rolling monthly contract of £14. I asked how much extra for un minutes n I think it was a extra £5 so I asked for a cap on the minutes. I was expecting to be on the phone for ages but was offered that after a few minutes on hold n making up a deal from virgin. It was late in the day so don't know if that makes a difference what deal u get as I have read some people struggle to get anything good.
