    hi folks

    i am with 3 since end of jan, i noticed my 70 unused minutes were not continued for march, i thought i read that for newbies there was a 1 month grace period where unused minutes were continued over for the next billing period?

    read it on their pdfs somewhere, i think the 3 web site is pathetic, they need to get some web designer.
    and not continuing minutes is just a scam, i thinbk someone should complain, whats it to them if you dont use them or not. they still take the fee off you every month anyway.
    and checking your credit is a joke, can you not send a text to see your details, its not always convenient to stick the fone to your ear and listen to some old hag tell you how much minutes you got left ever day.....:D

    Before I signed up to Three I checked out every and any bit of available info I could about their price plans and no where did I see anything about min's being carried over, their not and that was made very clear by their website & info included when I got the phone.

    like cabaal said you really should of done your research before you joined them
    though i have to say they are the best network ive ever been with

    Yeah minutes never carry over Im with them since the Launch last August!! Thats how they make their money !!!! I think they should carry over it wouldnt kill them . In theory your paying for them so they shouldnt take them away from you.

    thats were they are really are better than everyone else
    besides the fact that almost all of them are free to view theres so much to choose from
    whether your looking for music,comedy,movie stuff whatever
    i got this episode of punked there a few mins ago very funny (the one were they get justin timberlake)

    yeah i "thought" they carried over but found out they didnt. i didnt read it anywhere, i just presumed.

    im on the €60 price plan 300mins / 300txts - on average I use 200 minutes and 400 texts and my bill is around €80. not too bad i suppose considering i was spending about €80 a month on speakeasy. im "trying" to ring people more often now then txt them. if i balanced it out perfectly it would be a personal acheivement....but we can all dream!!

    nobody's mentioned the footie, i get all goals 15 minutes after final whistle. before any match of the day and or news bulletins. its fun seeing cracking goals of my mates teams before them and teasing them. maybe i should download them and sell the viewing rights!!! if they wanna see them they'll pay lol!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,174 ✭✭✭1huge1


    ya they only really charge you for games,music and mtv stuff (which is still very cheap)
    as for anyone that would want to spend more money on a crappy polophonic tone or a crappy picture than the mp3 song for €2 is beyond me
    3 charge you more for poly tones and crap pics than they do for music vids and songs how strange

    Is this the case for every matchday? For example, did they have the goals from Utd vs Wigan last night?

    they have rights to the barclay's premiership, not sure about anything else


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 800 ✭✭✭nialldinho


    yeah, that was a premiership match..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭Táck


    yeah i seen the goals on the united game 15 minutes after the final whistle. it only applies to Premiership games but they report champions league games too. not thru video action.

    they advertise it as being completely free but when you want to view videos you have to connect to their server, and that aint free. its not much, like 5 cent, will check bill, but its not free.

    i have no complaints though.
