Default Cancel Your Three Contract early...

I'm sure I'm not the only one cheesed off with the support from Three mobile service.

Three have just changed their T&Cs to remove the Three Like Home service. It makes you able to cancel your contract (30 days notice) if you're locked in. I've actually used the service so it was easy for me.

Just say you're moving to Ireland or Oz or Italy (somewhere with Three network) in July and bish bash bosh!

Apologies if it's SIAL but might be of use to some folk!

Yup. Done. With 10 months to go. Lad at work did it with 8 months to go too! WOOHOO. Got my PAC about 5 mins ago.

They're obviously quite pushy about you not cancelling. Offer you £10/£20...but I was just straight with them. Didn't want to hear any nonsense.

I suppose everyone cannot be happy with them, we have been with them 4 years and not had any real problems.
Apart from being in India the call centre people always try to help.

So those with much of their contract to go, have basically ended up with a free phone out of it.

Good, I had a three contract years ago, would never go near them again, does anyone remember those phones that three launched with, the video call ones, you could record for a whole 12 seconds as well. Weighed a tonne, had a stupidly small battery life. But they were so so cool at the time.



Anyone else have one of these back in the day?
