Tis not for PLUS (16gig cap). If the offer was for 3 months free on the 16gig cap then we all would have signed up!!

i signed up for the free trial 2 months ago for iolbb (16gb cap). i haven't checked the bank a/c to see if money has been taken out though. it was a free trial wasn't it?

Don't forget you won't get 3 months free now, it's only until October. If you sign up in September, for instance, you'll only get a few weeks free.

No thats when the offer ends afaik. You can sign up on the last day of September and still get 3 months free. I have to have everything returned by November 1st, AND I have a 16gb cap at the moment which I have been taking full advantage of.

eth0_ · 25-08-2004 9:56am

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that, I think...

AdMMM · 25-08-2004 9:58am

Well I received a letter from them saying that if we wish to cancel, we must inform them before November 1st!

eth0_ · 25-08-2004 10:00am

Ah ok.

eth0_, I think you're thinking of the €ircon "offer". Its the worst bb trail offer out there but again they are gambling on people too scared of changing service provider.

AdMMM · 25-08-2004 10:14am

I was amazed that you had to commit to a 12 month contract for that!

I signed up for the 3 months free trial on the 16GB cap... When I called to get it I just asked for the plus. No, no doubt at the end of the 3 months I won't be able to switch down, but I have no intensions of anyway. Just to note it is only an extra €6 a month, so no skin off esats nose giving it free instead.

Fair enough!! Should have read the small print and went for the 16gb one.
