Three mobile price increase

So, I’ve been with three mobile on a sim only deal for 10yrs. They have told me that they are changing my price plan to....

£12 a month for

- 1GB of data

- 600 minutes

- Unlimited texts

I’ve seen Vodafone and others smash this price with...

£10 a month for

- 5GB data

- Unlimited minutes

- Unlimited texts

I need more than 1GB of data (I need approve 5GB) so looks like it need to change. OR does anyone have any examples of how they have got Three to do a better or know of anywhere with a better deal than the Voda one I’ve mentioned?

Thanks

Have you tried the old 'threaten to leave' thing. They will probably give you everything you want and more and an added in speed boat as long as you dont leave

Haha... not yet. Never too sure of threatening to leave might go pear shaped and I’ll loose my number with them though. Or is that a PAC code that I can get from them etc?

But if I phone you and cancel and go ahead then can I keep my number?

I've been with Three for 11 years and have always had excellent upgrades

I renewed this year, retaining my existing phone, but onto a SIM only deal. I retained all existing data, phone and text formats but was able to do so, by simply asking what options they had?

I emphasised my Long Service as a Customer of theirs but indicated I'd consider moving elsewhere for a better deal.

Three don't like losing customers and will usually bend over backwards to retain them.

Giff Gaff is the way to go.

I buy my phone and you can get a £10 top up unlimited text, unlimited calls and about 5GB of data (I think) as I don't use much date.

sometimes I just buy a £6 or £8 goody bag. Far cheaper than being on a fixed deal

OP. I meant to add in my previous post, when I renewed in August, I got a Sim only deal of:

12GB Data

Unlimited Minutes

Unlimited Texts

Plus access to Deezer, and other programmes without interfering with data plans.

All for £11 per month.

Go through to THREE's customer services via 333. They'll usually have access to Plans which aren't available online or in their stores.

Perfect, thanks. Do those plans allow you to tether? Eg setup a personal hotspot too?

With mine, there is something about tethering, but since I never use that facility, I didn't take notice.

Find the better competitive deal, then discuss how 3 will beat it.

Aim to just renew for 1 year maximum at a time

That's expensive. I pay £13 a month for 600mins and unlimited texts and data.

Go on Uswitch. You can compare sim only deals. Was looking on there today and the cheapest I found was 5gb with Lebara mobile (Vodafone network) for £7.49!
