Getting a contract bought out.

Martini1991 · 27 Mar 2012 at 14:26

Hey there, I've currently got about 18 months left with 3 on my 24 month contract, however quite frankly their service I feel pales in comparison with T-Mobile (Which I'd recently completed a 24 month contract with)

Has anyone had any experience of T-mobile buying out ones contract on the premise that you'd do a much longer contract with themselves?

Or are these the type of situations that never come about

No chance of them paying 18mths off.

I figured as much.
Shame really, I find T-Mobile to be vastly superior to Three.
At the time of taking out my contract, and I said this to T-Mobile, the deals on X site were massively lacking, which they've now resolved.

No network will buy you out its the 3rd party dealers who will buy you out as there handset sales are crucial to their accumulative bonus structure

Normal to the tune about £150 ish

Work out how much the 18mts remaining will cost, offset the value of the phone and if theres only about £100 in it T=-Mobile may be willing to pay that value off.
