It was around upgrade time. I don't know if that was month 17 or 18, think it was 17. I was talking to the upgrade center talking about my needs for a phone (qwerty keyboard) and that i felt 3 wasn't the right provider for me as you just cant easily put a 3 sim in any old phone, e.g. pda's etc. I think they offered me the E61 as it's, comparitivly, an old phone but more than meets my needs. If you stay, they told me, we'll halve your current line rental for as long as you wish to stay with us. ( i was paying £25pcm)
Ok, so they've stiffed me out of 50p.
Try bargaining with them, it's always worth a try, but i'd wait until you are due an upgrade.
