Upgrading with 3

I am due an upgrade on jan 3rd with Three. I have a nokia 6120 paying £15 a month on the texter plan.

What FREE handset do you think I could manage to get on the same plan?

I really want the N95 but I doubt they will give me that for free on that tariff as it's a £250 phone to buy if taking that tariff, so I would be more than happy with the Nokia 6600 Slide. However again the 6600 is £99 on the tariff I want - however this is if you are joining as a new customer...

Just not sure what I can ask for. When you call them to upgrade, do they tell you 2 or 3 phones you can have and it's like it or lump it? How does it work?

Wait till your contract ends. I phoned them to see what they were offering when I could upgrade but they offered what they offer to new customers.

Re: Upgrading with 3

Hi thanks for your replies.
At the upgrade stage, can you not get a deal? i.e. I want the Nokia 6600 Slide. It's £99.99 on the £15 text package. Would I not stand a chance getting that for free if I agree to another 18 month contract?

At the 15 month upgrade stage, can you also change your price plan? i.e I am paying £15 a month for the 600 a month text plan, however they now to a £15 a month unlimited text plan.
