    I chanced sending them a message on My3 but haven't gotten a response yet. With the wildly erratic data speeds on Three it's not worth giving them more than a tenner a month anyway.

    Let me know how you get on Testament1 :)

    I am on contract with three.ie, contract end 5.12.2019, rang to say to cancel after the 5th as I was moving to another provider.

    first they offer you upgrade - no thanks dont want a 24 month contract
    then they offered me 20 euro a month sim free - no thank I can get it for 10 euro elsewhere
    then they offered me a reduced price of 15 euro per month 30 day rolling contract -
    finally they offered me 10 euro per month to match gomo deal - 30 day rolling contract

    stick with it and you will get the 10 euro deal from three.ie

    I’m On a 30 day rolling contract €30 pm, they offered me a discount of €10, so €20 per month for 12 months, I said no and asked for cancellation to be processed. So here’s hoping for a call back with a better offer.

    Exactly what they were offering me also. I stuck with it and got the €10 as well from next bill. Be wary it is only offered for 12 months but with the option to extend at end of 12 months. I asked them to put a note on my account, and I printed off the conversation from the chat on my3 since you cant email the chat anymore in case they give me hassle next year on this.

    Fair play to three for rewarding their loyal customers. Saves them going through the ordeal of switching to gomo.

    15 was the best they'd offer me, down from 20. Got sent this long spiel of garbage with it:

    "That's the best deal at this moment. Plans that have been introduced by GOMO does sounds attractive. However, '3' is a trusted BRAND for last 15 years (since 26 July 2005) with 69 stores across Ireland and one of the leading providers with freedom to roam in almost every other continent.

    Told them I wasn't happy with it as it's still cheaper for the same bundle with GoMo and they wouldn't budge.

    I was on 3 prepay for years before I Switced to GoMo recently, data isn't what I thought it be, can barely get 4G, maybe if I head onto chat, they might entice me to go back to them for a good deal? :D

    Best I'm getting from Three at the moment is €10 off for 12 months, currently on the €30 per month.
    Told them go ahead and put in my 30 day notice, so let's see if I get a phonecall


    Did you get a phone call?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,910 ✭✭✭0ph0rce0


    On 30 Day Rolling.

    Just opened chat, said I'm going to GOMO for a tenner, Offered 20, Said No I want 10, Said ok, It's only for 12 months but not bad for 3 mins on chat.

    Happy days

    What happens at the end of 12 months?

    I'm on chat here and he's offering me €10 a month but for 12 months, he's checking the details for what happens after the 12 months....can they up the price when the 12 months is up?

    It'll probably go up to the standard sim only price which is 30 euro.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    There will probably be something else by then.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,575 ✭✭✭Testament1


    Stuck on them and they're after offering the 10 euro SIM only bill pay for 12 months. Better than the 20 prepay since it includes calls which are expensive on prepay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,803 ✭✭✭gifted


    I got the tenner a month...happy out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,129 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Can you hotspot ?
    That’s the main reason I’m still on prepay


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭sinny65


    Thanks for the heads up. Just went on chat on got the sim only €10 a month. Delighted with that as it covers everything - calls/texts/unlimited data


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,716 ✭✭✭podge3


    Just tried twice, via webchat and phone. No offer made to keep my custom, in fact I was informed on the phone call my monthly bill will be increasing from €20 to €28 when my contact is up at the end of November 😲.

    GoMo here I come!

    Just off web chat with 3, no way were they giving me the offer. Told them im leaving if they dont match. They said they are planning to lauch new plan to match GoMo but not available at the moment. I said no good to me im off to GoMo. They said bye bye:D:D. Ill wait a day to see if I get any marketing calls.


  • Registered Users Posts: 93 ✭✭CBCB


    I just went onto the webchat and got the same offer.
    Said I was off to gomo unless they price matched and they did.

    So cheers for the heads up !!

    Are you on the sim only contract?
    That's what I am on. I asked them of they could price match or I'm off, so they did.

    Maybe give it another try?

    Im out of contract at the moment since early 2019. It was a two year contract I think, should that make a difference.

    Very interesting if true.

    One would guess that Three will use a new shadow-brand or maybe use 48 to launch a competitive play against GoMo.

    One would guess that Virgin Media and Tesco Mobile will have to do something to compete with GoMo too.

    They would want to do it quick though

    I rang them this morning on a sim
    Only rolling bill of €30 pm, best they would offer was €20 pm, I declined gave my cancellation request which was duly taken. I was hoping for a call back but nothing since. Did anyone who requested a cancellation get a call back yet? I’m with them 5 years.
