Mobile Phones 3

I can understand people not wanting to deal with call centres based in India due to the communication problem. However, some English people can't even speak English properly - that's even worse.

Just a thought I think you get 14 days to return the phone if you are unhappy with it. (I did with vodaphone)

3 have a 0 day returns on all there products.

(which is shit)

Virgin mobile 300 texts 300 mins £10 a month sim card only though you have to provide handset.

ye the sim only deals are great 500min unlimited text with orange for £30 which is fab.

ive got my last 2 phones from e2save.com fantastic deals but you have to redeem vouchers at regular intervals which is a lot of hassle but very cheap
but if you miss one voucher the others are cancelled and then its exspensive
if your fairly well organised you cant beat there prices and its a subsidary of car phone whare house
so should be secure

Ive read the small print on a few phone websites and you do have a 14 day money back guarentee only if you dont make or recive a call or text!!

I've been with 3 for years with no problems. I get 750 minutes and 150 texts per month for £18, with a Nokia E65 which I'm very happy with. I think if you talk to enough people you'll get good and bad things said about most mobile companies.

When my last phone got damaged the only reason I didn't send it back to get it repaired was I didn't want them finding what was in the memory

i have been on 3 for a few years and have this year converted mrs2 over from orange, i was previously with t-mobile. both find coverage is better for us in our area, our bills are cheaper, yes call centres are in india but that seems to be the norm with virtually everything now.

well i,m with o2 threatened to leave and they came up with a nokia n95 free and 400 mins and 500 texts for
£20 , so i think i'll stay with them for the time being

i had a contract phone last year from the 02 shop and only had it about a week then gave it back under the 14 day cooling off agreement. so long as the phones in the same condition as you got it and all boxed up with the accesories they will cancel the contract even though i had made calls and sent texts on it.

I used to have a mobile phone on 3 contract and they a total rip off they take the money out your bank account every 4 weeks which is 13 times a year yet top your phone up on, i think it was the 23rd or somethink like that, of each month which is only 12 times a year, so your paying for 13 (four week month) a year but only getting topped up 12 times because they top you up every calendar month, not a very good deal in my book

3 network is best IMO

I had a really bad time with three.. my brother lived in Yorkshire and was terminally ill with cancer, and I live in Oxford - so was going up and down by train lots of times, and my husband was home ill, and the network rarely worked.... when I phoned customer services no-one seems to want to know what I was going through, my phone kept cutting out and switching itself off. I really did need it at that time.. and when my husband passed away suddenly three months after my brother I had to go to a phonebox to let people know what had happened - and also to call a blummin ambulance....

Never had any apology or compensation from 3. I am now on pay as you go with vodafone, and spend £5 during the week to get free calls to landlines and texts all weekend.. which suits me fine as I do most of my contacting and send jokes then! I got a Motorola Rzr for £50 and it takes wicked pictures...

I hope this has helped... I would honestly suggest you avoid 3 like the plague....

well ive done it, I signed upto 3, I recived my phone the next day so today is day 2.

so far I am pleased with it and love the phone, my signal seems to be ok ( no worse than vodafone)

thanks to everyone for your coments and advice,,,,,, I just hope Im not back here next week with bad news
