How To End a Mobile Phone Contract?

[Tom Scott]

I'm with 3 i live in Brighton i have a A1000 and a Raz 3x both good the odd dropped call but the price and the Min's per month i don't care.
Mind you iam selfemployed so the phone bill comes of my tax so i don't care.

T-Mobiles Flext is a much better propositionin terms of value.
£35 for 900 minutes or 1800 texts or a combo of the both, you can't go wrong - especially as its a good network coverage wise.

I get that half price for life too, direct. Perks of the job nurr nurr na nurr nurr....ahem sorry

You can just simply configure most of the 3 phones to do this in settings-phone settings-network selection; I do it all the time for people as the 3g coverage is poor in this area.

It wont stay on the o2 network, as soon as the 3g signal is strong enough it'll go back to that on Nokia phones. Must be really poor in your area.

Once apon a time yes, however the setting was added to the newer phones (it feels a good while ago now) so that the handset doesnt change networks automatically as this was causing peoples calls to be dropped; thus the issue was dealt with.

iirc, didn't 3 lock the network menu on their phones (especially from the symbians they carry) so that its impossible for a user to force gsm signal all the time, since they have to pay o2 for the time people spend carrying calls on their network?

I cant change the network on my phone, the options look like they have been removed.

I will give three a call later, asking them to cancel my contract or find some sort of "fix". I dont really need anymore minutes or texts, but I will try to convince them to lower the monthly line rental.

You need to flash the firmware on the 7600s they provided if you want to lock them to 2G, because the network selection menu was removed. I never bothered, didn't need to.
