What do I say in the letter I have to send them?
I was thinking along the lines of...
Dear O2
Please fuck off and die but before that end my contract.
yours lovingly,
soon to be 3 customer

I threatened to leave after I finished my 12 months, they gave me £10 off my contract and £100 resignation credit so that would pay my phone bill up until after xmas. They haven't been too bad with me to be honest. But I expect not everyone's experience with them is the same.
ETA: Not actually my contract, just in my name, but the girl who owns it wants out so I have deal with all the shit.
I only stay with a network for 12 months because there are always better deals with someone else (espacially if you take out a phone in december)
Anyway, I got rental for 10 pounds by saying I wanted to leave, it's worth having a go.
I didn't have to do this when I cancelled with them.
hmm i've finally decided to stick with o2 as i usually get good reception with them. As for 3 maybe i'll go with them next year :yeees: Gonna call o2 up next week n see if i can get anything free lol if not bugger it!
well you really need to have a priceplan for 3 in front of you before you decide to do anything, cause while the have good deals on, i just dropped £5 a month on my contract, which halfed my inclusive minutes (which i only ever use half anyway) and gave me 50% more texts, so worked out much better for me, plus because of the extra texts, i dont have to pay for the text bundle i get every month
so my phone bill is going to be £35 a month now, rather than £50/£60
plus i get £5 of free game/movie/ringtone/music vids/tracks downloads a month, and 25 free pic messages, and 25 mins of video calling
i know 3 sounds like the bees knees and i wanna go with them but i've heard that they have really bad reception/arial coverage so i'll give them a year to improve :chin:
well the thing is with three, where they have reception, its much better than any other phone companies, im the only person at work who has a three mobile and im also the only person who can get pretty much full signal no matter where i stand in the building, big thick stone walls etc
yet when you dont have a 3G signal, you have a normal signal, and when you dont have reception off your own network, then it drops onto o2 i believe anyway
so all in all 3 might have crap reception, but o2 certainly doesnt, and as three piggybacks onto o2, you are pretty much sorted for good signal
stick with o2 or go to 3?
I converted back in September, and haven't looked back since. Don't listen to the O2 scaremongers when they fill you with shite to put you off leaving. And make sure you tell them you're going to 3 when cancelling your contract, as this will invariably fuck them off.
i noticed that with both my dad and my mum when they cancelled and went to three, they kept on offering superb deals, which were rather good, but nothing to compare to the half price for 6 months deal they would get with three
