3c text on 3Pay from December

1huge1

why can't they ever decrease the price for pay monthly options, were the ones that are paying all the money

ProjectC

i do rember three when they first launched in a press conference Micheal finnagan(i think) said that they were going to give vale for money rather than being the cheapest network.

so in otherwords its not in threes nature to offer free text to any network becasue they wudnt be gaining revenue from this.

however by offering 3c text they have got the cheapest standard rate of text in ireland but there still making revenue by giving them 3c.

Planet three offers a shjit lot on it regarding services so your basically going to be paying for those services via your outgoing spending on the network eg calls and texts


Also another major factor is if your on there 3G network and your just going to be texting all the time for free then your taking up a hell of alot of bandwith on there 3G network for nothing.. running a 3g network is more expensive than the standard 2g(2.5g) netowrk which example meteor customers will be using.

so overall three arent going after the big texters..theyv just done this so not to fall too far behind.

Opinion over!!

A few things here, one is every physical network has a 3G network in operation, some are gone further than others, but all of them do. So it's pretty much the same for every network.
Another thing is texting is hardly the most bandwidth hogging activity in the World is it? You could hardly call it "a hell of alot of bandwith".

Hi guys, Someone called me about this offer today and unfortunately i agreed not realizing that my call prices are going up too. So after checking this board which i should have done before i agreed to the new plan I saw that it is actually unwise to go to the new plan if u have the old 5cent / 18cent landline deal.

So I called up 3 and told them not to do it but they said they cant change it bc I said yes. Now is there any way to stop them from doing it. I know if i buy a product etc. I can return it within a certain time period. Does that also aply in this situation?

Anyone has any ideas/suggestions?


Thanks

You should absolutely be able to change back. You are not shagged, if I were you I would absolutely hound them until they change you back.

That really isn't fair at all.

That dosen't work...

tbh, i've given up on people who entertain India when were in a frigging recession, tough titty
@op, you should have went down to your nearest store and kept your business here on the Island where it belongs...

best of luck with customer care, only way you'll do it is port out for a few hours and then back in again onto a 5cent sim, or you could also port into a new sim and get €120 free credit, kinda takes the sting out of talk and text;)

no such thing as an Irish mobile phone company anymore. eircom is owned by aussies, the gubberment holds a small share in voda but thats it.

the only way out of this mess is to leave the EU, kick out all the other phone companies and bring back Eircell

All calls to Mumbai are recorded so there will be a record of what the 3 rep said. I'm not suggesting it will be easy but determination will get you a long way (make sure you get onto a supervisor)
