My 12 month sim only deal ends in December. Does anyone have any experience of Three contacting them at te end of the fixed term to try to switch you? If so, what did they offer?
On assumption I can't negotiate a discount on my soon to end on contract handset One Plan contract, I need a plan B.
After doing the maths purchasing an iPhone from Apple and then compliment with a Sim deal works out cheaper total cost of ownership than paying for handset over life of contract ( although you've got the cash flow hit up front ). So I may settle for buying an iPhone 6, but instead of taking out a sim deal at £20 pm continue my existing One Plan contract at £36 pm. That means I can swap over the sim to new handset and keep unlimited tethering at a £16 pm premium......which although steep may be my preferred option.

How much tethering are you doing? wouldn't it be cheaper to just get a mifi contract separately with 10GB of extra data in addition to the small tethering allowance you'd get with the phone.

sadly my landline broadband speeds are woeful so until fibre reaches my area my only option to enjoy streaming ( to my iPad or Smart TV) is to use 4G. Streaming a HD movie eats into a data allowance in no time
I am paying 36 quid a month for my Samsung S4 and my contacts will be finished in january. Does my monthly bill automatically drop to the non subsidised rate and I get to keep my One Plan contract or will it stay at 36 quid and force me to change to a non unlimited tethering contract?
I don;t really need a new phone for a good while yet, my S4 is still rocking two years on
I love that you have been trying (and failing) to covertly bump this thread without anyone noticing for well over a month now, even though there is clearly zero interest. Top marks for perseverance, I guess

I would agree.
They usually call you to offer you a better deal '30 days' left of your contract but can you really offer a better deal than The One Plan?
Im expecting a loyalty call offering to reduce it to £10 a month and being exempt from traffic sense
There's every reason if you're on a cheap TOP deal.
I'd settle for that too :-)
You're expecting unlimited data for a tenner, and to be exempt from traffic sense. I'm guessing you're joking, right?
I think his tongue was firmly in cheek.

This is on a 1 monthly rolling basis as in out of my initial 12 months period

Your a very lucky boy, just keep paying that monthly bill on time...:):):):):)
When did you join the one plan? How are you only paying £9.90?
Pm ash45 he wants rid of his.

Thanks. I will upgrade to an S6 on the proviso that I keep my unlimted tethering, otherwise if they refuse I will look at my options.
