three one plan forced cancellation

[contractor]

Anyone else had the letter yet?

Currently on ayce data and voice for 25/mth with a 10/mth discount so I pay 15/mth. Got a letter from 3 saying in 30 days i can have something inferior for 30 quid instead of 33.

So they want to me to pay 2x for something less and remove my loyalty bonus and still be loyal?

Hopefully the EU will block them merging with O2.

It's not a consumption triggered letter. If you are on the old one-plan with ayce data you will get the letter very soon

Oh and apps won't generally stop the provider from spotting tethering as usually a new interface is set up on the phone and they detect it that way. There are ways around it on Android but they require changes via adb to specific files

just spoke to Three again. Wow. The bloke just would not have it that they were doing anything wrong. He wouldn't/couldn't apply the £3 discount in the letter to the ayce/600 mins package, nor would he accept that Quidco do a £70 cashback deal.

I ended up just getting my pac #

He was only marginally better that the woman the other day who tried to sell me an 8GB data/200 min plan, despite 11 out of last 12 months being 14GB/400mins average use.

I've stuck £20 on a voda sim and will test drive that for now and even if they charge a quid more than Three, I'll go there out of principle.

vodafone 20GB is currently @25% off so that's 30/mth for 12mths. Quidco are offering £85 cashback so I might opt for that as it works out at 23/mth.

For my last month on Three I am seeing if I can fill /dev/null. As long as Vodafone is as good as Three or thereabouts I'll go there for a year.
