Mobile Phone Question
 

Hi,
Has anyone been able to transfer a mobile phone contract without incurring any costs?
I'm 6mths into a 2yr contract with the 3 network - trying to avoid $500 costs (we're returning to the UK).
I've placed this on the classifieds

but just wondering if anyone has been able to do this???

I'd be suprised if not amazed if you can do this.

I work in a Vodafone (AU) store and we can't take over another providers contract, all we can do is create a new one.

Your best bet would be to take your 3 price plan right down to the bare minimum (e.g least minutes, lowest price per month), you can normally do that after the 1st 9 months of connection (well you can with Vodafone).

Unfortunately it means paying for two contracts, but that's the cheapest way of getting out of a disconnection fee.

There is no need to take out a contract here, I obviously favour Vodafone and there are plenty of good Pay As You Go deals here with us. Other posters on here would have to tell you how good Telstra and Optus are as I don't have a clue ;):lol:

Bloody awful is the answer to that... IMO only of course...:rolleyes:

It was the 3 customer service team who advised I get someone to take over the contract. Only problem is - I can't get my hands on anyone new to the country who simply wants a decent deal (IMO) for a mobile phone. Where are they all??? :unsure:
I'm pretty sure I can't reduce my cap - I think I was only able to increase it..so that probably doesn't help.
My problem is that the customer service team simply don't speak good English - nor do they understand my strong accent (even when talking V E R Y S L O W L Y....). It's a complete nightmare.

If anybody knows any newbies, please point them to my ad on classifieds...would make me VERY happy :D
