    Yeah just loving the 3 network, and the S/E K608i ain't bad either,
    smallest *candy-bar* style that was avail.

    3 paid out over $200 remaining on my CDMA phone and signed me up with a
    free phone for just 12 months x $14 which is win win situation.Joe
    public pays $29 x 24 months....

    The way you can check your account balance is great
    The reception ****s all over CDMA [so much for armed forces quality
    CDMA]
    Checking your emails
    Checking EBAY sales
    Battery life
    Can use the phone overseas thanks to GSM
    Sending photos and having video calls
    The phone is even smart enough to switch time zones on its own
    Keeping the CDMA Samsung as a freebie [Plays good games]

    Only 2 *****es

    Does not keep time perfectly like CDMA network
    GSM network is still a little behind in rural area

    PS Orange shuts down and becomes a Lemon 6th August....DEAD

    Yep, and that's one of the main reasons why I haven't signed up with Three.
    They want my business (going by the attitude of the sales staff at some
    stores, they REALLY want my business NOW!!) but they want to charge me more
    than double what others are paying for both cap and call/text rates.

    I'm sorry, Three, but surely you can do better than 25c SMS messages and
    70c/min voice calls? Of course you can; you proudly do it for your old
    Orange customers.

    You can get onto those plans. Find a dealer that's willing to do it.

    I have asked a few. So far all they've done is either laugh or scoff, even
    when I point out that it's a dealbreaker...

    *TRY* to buy someones Orange connection or contract

    It is a super deal, i believe because they roam onto Telstra out of
    Metro. they are paying Telsta heaps of income which is lost so they
    want everybody onto 3 network ASAP

    ..Suited me fine they paid out over $200 i got a much better free phone
    and service and paying less and droped down to only 12 months contract
    NO CATCH!

    THE only piss off [BTW its 9th not 6th August] is they may even get
    much more generous for those who are waiting to switch over.

    Anyway done deal now and i am v happy, and thus far NO FUC*&N INDIA
    CALL CENTRE:-)

    So they should too! About time they rewarded loyal customers instead of
    favouring new customers who will only probably leave again when another
    telco offers the latest shiny gadget.

    Because you want something or nothing, and they correctly tell you to shove
    it

    They are loyal, to their wallet, regardless of the 'service'

    Ah, no. I want to be a long-term customer. I just want a bit of incentive
    to change providers from Optus, who I've been with for a decade now. And
    Three's standard call and SMS rates are not exactly enticing; however, the
    rates they offer ex-Orange customers are. Why should I pay more -
    substantially more - than them?
