you are, we aren't, and as i have never even considered '3' as a half decent mobile network, i will never be going with them (i'm very happy on t-mobile/EE) so is there no reason why the rest of us can't go to said store and just stand around until something gets done.

what's the worst that could happen?

Three as a network are ok, although their offshore call centers can leave a lot to be desired.

The in store guys, every time I've been in anyway, seem to be more concerned with selling me something as oppose to resolving my issues.

My solution: I steer clear of them anything I need help on I just ring the call center. This saves me time and I can do it from where ever I am.

this may be because they're paid a tragically bad wage and they make it up on commission

Signing a 3 mobile was one of the single worst agreements I have ever entered into.

I would advise any person to steer well clear of them and their shoddy network, I had to buy out of my contract 10 months early as did a work colleague at the time.

Yes its cheap, yes the deals look good, theres a reason for this, corners are cut elsewhere.

A: Find some one who is going to take out a contract for the ipad, but who does not want to pay upfront fee, but is prepered to take over this contract, saving them selves £99

B: Sell ipad and put extra to it and buy out of contract.

If i get to do (A) then I will have to find a translator who can translate what there call centre is saying.
Got a phone call from CEO yesterday, he has closed the account 9 this has been done as sim card no longer works) without penalty and sending me final bill of £0.00, and returning my £99:00 upfront payment, and sending me a bag to send ipad back to him.
Result.

I went in to the Three store in Birkenhead, I was not happy with there terms, and went into cancel contract as it was only 2 days since i took out contract, I took in the relevent print outs from Consumer credit act Ref Contracts, they said "consumer credit act does not apply to them, they say they have there own policy" and that policy is " you take out contract you are stuck with it and you pay"

I tried to explain to them they have to let me cancel, they then called security and called the police saying to police I was refusing to leave the store "this is not true, as at no time did they ask me to leave the store, the police came and the lies the staff came out with in there and the manager, I could not believe what i was hearing, "it was the manager who was verbally abusive to me" but of course she denied it.

Please think twice about getting a contract with three.

i even phoned up call centre and asked to speak to manager, they tell me they have no managers, and to just pay for device, and hung up on me.

I have emailed there CEO & Executive office, but I have been ignored.

I can not even cancel direct debit as it has not been set up yet.

I am now left with no option but to sell the ipad and just buy out of contract.


This is terrible mate, I feel for you, it's not nice getting ripped off.
