Whatever contract you were under with 02 still carries under 3 until you switch or renew. They CANNOT change the terms of your contract while it’s still in place. 02 stated that before the takeover by 3.
Unless they are on a monthly contract
Busy in 3 today?
Puttin’ out fires.
Poor Deliverancecountry.
And boom !
… then I got a mirror.
Moob?
It’s called capitalism.
Yeah!!! F*pping people over. Oh yeah.
That old nonsense… it’s not. It’s pretend capitalism.
It’s called a cartel.
FTFY
competition breeds monopoly. first law of capitalism.
And the three network has been more than unstable in the last six months… taking on new customers and the O2 customers.
Last evening the mobile internet was woeful. Shocking. Gah.
More than unstable? Is that good or bad?
More than unstable = stable?
more than unstable = s***e
According to Three (http://www.three.ie/customer-notification/) if you are not happy with this price increase you are able to cancel your contract with them, without penalties.
Indeed. Which means if you’re on a contract with 1, 7 or 17 months remaining (or 23 months) you can cancel your contract, keep your number and your phone, and port (move) your number to another network without incurring any penalties. Happened years ago when Meteor changed their Ts and Cs and with 02 as well around 2009/2010
Nessy – that is true.
You do not have to switch Network either – but are free to do if you want.
Said Brain, from across the call centre from Nessy as they panic in reaction to a negative post on Broadsheet.
Busy in Vodafone today?
Got in trouble at a certain company’s call centre for candidly explaining that to customers. Thankfully escaped the soul crushing life of the customer care agent.
Won’t you have to fork out a few hundred squid for the handset if you’re leaving the contract early though?
You keep your number regardless. Stop making it sound like a gift of 3.
Wow all the 3 spin merchants are busy on here aren’t they.
You’re like a dog chasing it’s tail on here.
You mean that’s….. MY tail?
That’s what the ‘T’ stands for!
Pretty sure the price changes are only applying to those who are on 30 day contracts, the sneaky hures! Therefore, all we can do is give 30 days notice to cancel our contracts and move to another network or change to pay as you go or just pay it.
Nah, that “Loneliest Whale” ad has secured by loyalty with them.
Ah so you DO work for 3?
25% increase for me, see ya later 3
Reminds me of the last UPC price increase which coincided with the owner buying Tony O’s house for 28 mil.
That UPC price increase was only intended to enable UPC to continue bringing excellent value entertainment to its customers. That’s what they told me anyway. I pointed out that the value to me would be improved if the price was lowered but they didn’t agree.
Well to be fair , and I hate being fair to mobile operators , 3 gave us free LTE for 6 months , which actually turned into 12months for me , warning that the 5euro increase would come last Nov….
I was told that if you cancel your contract with 3, you have to write a letter explaining your reasons and it has to be witnessed by a Peace Commissioner.
Got a message yesterday saying 3 pre-pay calls are going up 3c p/m and texts a ridiculous 2c.
Texts are the closest thing there is to pure profit.
Has anyone got a contract of a contract they signed with 3 or o2. Surely you can decline the increase as the terms were changed after signing of the contract.
You should be able to do that as a contract involves consent by all parties and changes cannot be forced by one party upon another.
Saying you can cancel and move is not acceptable. They need to wear it until the contract term is up – just like the customer has to.
If they change the contract terms you can exit the contract with no penalty and without paying back the phone subsidy. Got out before 2 months into a 18m O2 contract. Is it only rolling contracts this is happening with?
I have it on good authority that when the Carphone Warehouse join the party they will be offering a very good ‘all you can eat’ deal that will take the place of the lower priced Three contracts. Will be an introductory offer in July I believe. Keep an eye out for it.
