3 retentions

Just had them on the phone. Cancelled my contract 3 weeks ago so due to end next weeek. Been offered a SE W910i with 600 mins for £10 a month. Was also offered a SE K660i or a Nokia 3120 with the same deal. Told him I'd ring back in a bit. What are the chances of me getting this for any cheaper or maybe with a better phone? Or any advice as to which phone to take from those lot, I'm thinking the W910 is best?

What other phones were you offered?

daddycool · 06-01-2009, 20:44

Just off the phone, offered a Nokia 6500 slide.

malaikah · 06-01-2009, 20:59

6500 is a good offer I reckon! Good phone, with 600 mins for £10/m

frailfury · 06-01-2009, 21:06

lol I've emailed them as you shoudn't have to actually cancel to get these offers. I rang up to renew and was told i was welcome to cancel as there was no phones I liked online on the texter plan for £15 with a free handset!

daddycool · 06-01-2009, 21:38

Yeh, the 600 mins aint as good as it first sounded. It's 300 mix and match text/mins and then the other 300 are 3 to 3 calls only. That's why I wanted to leave 3, cos nobody I know is on it! But at this price, I'm all confused now!!!

daddycool · 07-01-2009, 18:13

They've just rang back and offered me the Nokia N73 or Samsung s7330 for £10 on the same deal. Or the SE W595i for £12.

I've told him if he can do the w595 for £10 I'll stay. He's gonna call back in 30 mins......

Ohhhhh......do let us know what they say, I am calling them in 2 weeks and fancy the W595. That for £10 per month would be nice! Was that a 12 or 18 month contract?

daddycool · 07-01-2009, 19:23

He called back and offered me a K800i or a W880i for £10. Says he can't do the W595 for £10. I've told him I'll let the contract run out then. So we said our goodbyes and hung up!

Got a feeling I'll hear from them in the next couple of days!!

Was an 18 month contract.

frailfury · 07-01-2009, 20:37

Argh I'm getting annoyed with them. They keep calling me and offering me stuff I don't want.

I was thinking of the W890i however i then read it has problems with signal.

Based on what I have read about retension offers, they arn't very good! So I might aswell upgrade now, just not sure what to go for.

Is the Nokia 6600 Slide with 300 mix and match texts/mins for £20 a mth any good? Bearing in mind it's an 18mth contract again.

I really don't know what to do. Ideally the 300 mix and match for £20 would be fine if it came with unlimited internet, but I begrudge paying £5 a mth more than I am now, for less texts.

daddycool · 07-01-2009, 21:09

Tell them you want to leave and you'll get the 300 mix and match for £10. Probably.

Nope, I told them about this and they have no idea what the offer is! Strange that...

daddycool · 07-01-2009, 21:13

Well of course they're gonna say that. If you call and cancel then it's a different story.

To be honest, none of the handsets they offered you appeal to me so theres no point me doing that. I can only upgrade right now, or cancel in 2 months.

malaikah · 07-01-2009, 22:10

frailfury why are you so desperate to stay with 3??

mpquikster · 08-01-2009, 13:35

I've already been called by 3 as my contract is due to end in Feb, offering me the 6500 slide. I've already got this phone which I bought seperate so don't want this.

Unless they are willing to give me the n95 8 gb i shall be leaving them once the contract is up. I might try going into a store rather than phone up

daddycool · 14-01-2009, 11:07

They've offered me the contract, £10 a month, free W595, 300 mix and match. Today is the last day so they are desperate now!

I'm gonna turn them down though, fed up with them tbh.
