As I struggle to view the 3" screen on my Samsung s8300 I was sitting back waiting for a good price to buy the Samsung Galaxy S3 with its large HD screen. Then Quidco sent me this offer for the S3 for £31 a month with £120 cashback from Three Mobile. If you haven't tried Quidco you should give it a look, loads of cashback offers. It's free to sign up and returns you free money. With the cashback it works out for me about £27 a month. http://www.quidco.com/user/1971340/ That is only a couple of pounds more than I was paying on my present contract for 600 minutes and only limited internet. Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Pebble blue. The One Plan. All-you-can-eat data 2,000 minutes 5,000 Three-to-Three minutes. 5,000 texts 24 months £31 a month. £29 up front cost. http://store.three.co.uk/view/product/ql_catalog/threecatdevice/2438?intid=3storehprbn549 I ordered Tuesday night the phone arrived next day!!!! So for that extra couple of quid I have got the best phone in the world and it would have been worth every penny if I had bought it. The phone is brilliant, clear fast and excellent sound. More powerful than most laptops. Plays videos smoother than any other phone I have seen. The internet absolutely flies on it and there's no cap on it. You Tube is a built in App, and it streams HD video perfectly! So I can leave it connected all the time, I have set the latest sports news as my home screen pretty cool. Don't forget if you want the £120 cashback you need to sign up with Quidco and click through to "Three" from Quidco's site. Big plus for me is that all the close members of my family are on Three. My daughter upgraded to the S3 a couple of weeks ago and she is paying £33 a month. It's all about timing. The Quidco cashback offer runs out in 3 days, so if you're interested get in now.
Subject of which, I'm selling a 3 month old iPhone 4S, if this is an appropriate spot to shark it, haha.
Just have a spare one mate, I bought 2, as my lass wanted one, she used it for about 6 weeks, but didn't like it, as all her friends are on BB so she likes the BB messenger thing. It's been in a draw for 6 weeks or so, which is pointless, so I may as well flog it, it'll pay for a nice Hugo shirt and a nice meal, ha. I use a 4S, and I love it, very much personal choice these things.
Get a Huawei G300 for £100 and stick a GiffGaff SIM in it for £10 per month. 250 minutes, unlimited data, unlimited texts. Sorted.
3 is terrible, absolutely no signal whatsoever. Regardless of how many times they check your phone/coverage or whatever else they try to pass you off with.
Same with all providers mate they all have blind spots. My second time with 3 never had a problem with the signal any where I have been. The son in law has been on 3 ages. He had tried a load of operators to try and get a signal in wooly back country in Teesdale at their caravan. He gets perfect reception including BB reception. On Virgin, who run on Tmobile I used to get one bar of signal in the house if I was lucky. On 3 I'm getting full signal and the internet flies.
No it doesn't. Tried them both and the S3 is faster. S3 better camera. Larger screen. Higher screen resolution. Has external memory slot. Nearly 50% faster on downloads. HDMI output. Better battery. Much faster processor. More memory. Plays Flash. Thats off the top of my head the list is endless. That is why Apple is trying to get the S3 banned from sale.
Three, is a ****e company, they owe me £160 for three years, on top of that if you travel as much as I do, the coverage is ****. Had to buy cheap phones in Denmark, Germany and france, because the roaming in those places didnt work, will stick with the five phones I have, the main one being on Vodaphone.
I used to be on O2, then had two contracts with 3, they offer cracking deals, but seriously ive only ever experoenced mext ot know signal. During that time I went miles above the Arctic circle, yet recieved better signa; off the local networks than I've had in say Sunderland/Durham/Newcastle. Im on Tesco now- they are carried by O2 but undercut them. I couldnt recommend O2 for signal anymore than I do.
I was with 02 before I went with Virgin. 02 prices and hidden charges got to me. Never had a problem with reception with them. The son in law tried it for the caravan. And the signal was crap though. I probably would have stuck with Virgin if they had offered me a better deal on the S3. They wanted £40 odd for the S3 and £99 up front!! And wouldn't budge. I am amazed with Threes internet mind, downloads fly, Browsing is as fast as my computer, I don't even need to connect to my WiFi like I have had to do previously.
I used to think that, especially when the internet on them was slow. Now I can browse NOT606 where ever I am.
