Phone scam

My contract with 3(was O2) ends in October. I tried to give 30 days notice of termination(why should I if contract ends???)
They tell me 30 days only starts after contract ends.

Lovely, aren't they' mobile providers.

My current contract is with EE (happilly just about to end) and they increased the monthly fee six weeks in as a result of 'annual inflation adjustment'. How the hell does that work?

And to think that some still believe they won't reintroduce roaming fees when we leave the EU......

The Pound will tank even further through the floor and no one will be able to afford to go abroad anyway, so who cares?

I don't either. My Singapore $ to GBP went from 2:1 to 1.78 to 1, and I got paid in SG $.

Boom!

I have friends living in Cyprus who receive their pensions in £s.

I did warn them when they first went so my conscience is clear!

Does that mean we will never get rid of you back to Asia?

It's in the small print somewhere. I think they all have it. I've just ditched EE in favour of GiffGaff...worth a look. Same deal as I had at EE for £17.50 is costing me £10 per month with GG.
You can bail out anytime with them as you're on a rolling monthly contract.

The wife is also with GG and this month they recommended that she drop to next lower tarriff, based on her previous couple of months usage.

If I had my way, I'd never have come back!

Plus one on that

I have no doubt it is in the small print somewhere.

Doesn't make it ethically right.

Oooh, you are one!

I was with The-Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Orange but they got too big for their boots when they became EE. I have a business mobile, which I pay £400 a year tax on because it's considered a perk. On that basis, I use it for personal calls and don't bother having my own cell phone. In fact, I was encouraged by my company to ditch my personal phone when I joined so I eventually did.

I don't abuse it though. I only have two friends more than Andrew so, aside from Mrs P and my mum, I only need to call/text two other people.

When her contract expired with EE, Mrs P joined 3 on a sim-only deal and buys her own iPhone outright. Much cheaper way of doing it and far better service.

Talking of 3, if you do plan on going overseas, you can use their data, calls and texts at the same price as the UK when in most of the countries you're likely to visit with their 'Feel At Home' scheme.

Greed and ethics are mutually exclusive.

That's the one down side to GiffGaff.... they don't include the Isle of Man in their data roaming plan for Europe.

If I'm entirely honest, I have to pay one of them so I'm not sure if he counts
