Any mobile phone experts out there ??
if so please explain something to me.....
I have a payg on "3" which is dying...
Looked on the 3 website and saw one i liked at a reasonable price.
Called 3 on their 0800 sales number and was told that I cant keep my number when going from a 3 payg to a 3 contract !!
I could move my number to another network (eg orange..) and then move it from orange back to 3 but not directly !!
Am I missing something or can you explain how this works ....
cheers

Perhaps its the way in which you explained it to the sado's at 3 customer services.
Example
I am considering taking up a contract with you but I wish to keep my payg3 number or do I have to go to another network.
This usually works for getting what you want with the least amount of fuss.

yer problem is with 3 - it's the most gyppo network there is and their infrastructure / customer services is utterly merde(prolly based on the isle of Sheppey - would explain a lot).
Networks in order of coverage / customer service:
VF
O2
Orange
T-Mobile
3
'nuff said

Adbru,
It it the phone thats on its way out?
I have a payg 3 phone that I bought, then realised that I was better off on my old O2 payg, so went back to that, as far as I know the phone is in perfect working order (was used for about a month) and as its already payg 3 you should be able to simply swap the sim card & stay with your current payg3 number & setup.
PM me if you are interested, the phone is a NEC e313, a couple of years old, but as I say barely been used.

Hiya Doofer, No probs, I spoke to someone different at 3 who said I could keep my number ;D She said she would give me a wonderful deal to keep me as a valued customer... I would never get a better deal...... after 20 mins she gave up and gave me my PAC code to transfer my number. Went to Tesco's who have a clearance on fons for new stock next week. Got a new Siemens AX72 on Virgin. Includes headset, triband, auto answer, alarm clock, charger, £5 call credit..... For £19.99 ;D After putting £30 of credit on it they will happily give me the unlock codes so that I can put a Canadian sim in when we are on hols , local mobile shop wanted £20 to unlock the AX72. Overall I'm happy  Adbru |
