> 3 to phase out £15-per-month tariffs
Bookmark topic
will phase out its £15-per-month tariff next month to try and wean people back onto more expensive tariffs.
Although a diluted version will still be available, the £15-per-month tariff will no longer be promoted. The tariff was launched in February, offering customers 500 voice minutes, to drive footfall into 3's growing number of stores.
A similar deal will be launched in June for £20 per month, but with a small text bundle included, along with a £28-per-month deal offering 750 minutes and 150 texts.
3 is also offering some extravagant deals in a bid to retain customers. The network offered one customer free line rental for 17 months on an 18-month contract. 3 contacted the customer three months before his contract was due to expire, offering 500 minutes and 100 texts per month, for a total of £18 to be paid in the final month.
A 3 spokesman said: 'As a business, you do a calculation looking at a customer's usage. You understand how much they are using and you can put together as good a proposition as you can for that particular customer. The other thing you have to think about is that you are not paying someone a commission to put that together.'
Another customer was offered 750 minutes and 250 texts per month, with free line rental for the first 12 months, £4.45 for month 13 and £28 per month for the remainder of the 18-month contract. They were also offered a free Sony Ericsson K800i. 3 also offered this deal three months before the contract was due to expire. 'They are buying their customers direct,' one dealer told Mobile

its all good deals with 3 but the reception is not good, and the calls keep cutting out, now and again especially if you are travelling in a car etc, i have experienced that and it shows that i should have good 3 coverage too. plus they do not do non itemised billing, which is a must for me, so thats another problem with 3.

Three's coverage where we are is brilliant in Lancashire. My brother took the £15 a month contract and says its brilliant, a few months have gone with no issues.
