“Just wondering if the call I received last week from 3 Mobile was a one off, or if your readers have experienced something similar. 3 rang last Thursday evening to talk about my bills, which tend to run around €3/€4 above my my set bill each month. The guy had a suggestion for how to reduce that, he would send me out a couple of 3 sim cards, pay as you go ones, for me to distributed amongst the non-3 friends of mine who I contact.
I was a bit surprised and asked if he was serious. He questioned my response and I told him it’s none of my business what network my friends are on, if he wanted them to change then he should ring them. He said (paraphrased) “I save all of my customers money, you just need to top up this sim card now over the phone by €20 and I can send it out to you and you can give it to someone who you ring that isn’t on 3.” I ended the call then. I actually thought it was a scam so I rang back the number [1800-949-560] to check it out. It’s legit it seems…”
Anyone?
