I cancelled my 3G contract

[Gazer]

It was to be terminated at the end of January. I got an sms telling me that the service would terminate on the morning of the 31st January? WTF? Why do I get robbed of the last 24 hours of my (paid) contract, especially when I have about 400mb left of my 1 gig cap? As far as I know the end of the month is just before midnight tonight.

SO, SO , SO glad to have got rid of the junk and their crappy service. Just trying to cancel the contract was a nightmare. The first time we tried (at The Glen), their "computers were down" (yeah right), the second time (at Eastgate) the queues were long and there was no rush to help anyone (we waited for 45 mins and eventually left), finally we were able to get it done about a week later.

When did you take out the contract?

Just asking because I want to cancel mine as soon as I can, Contract was taken out on the 14th of April but early this month I got a sms saying I could upgrade on the 14 of January. So now I want to know if I could cancel it on the 14th of March or the 14th of April?

Sorry don't mean to derail your thread but I figured your should know.

I've had mine for 3 or 4 years so I wasn't under any contractual obligations any longer. As far as I know, if you don't go with their upgrade (that'll tie you into another 24 month contract), you have to wait for the full 24 months to be completed of the contract. You could cancel it on the 14 March because it takes an entire month (minus 1 day) for them to deactivate the service.

Upgrades apply after 22 months...their way of sucking you into another 24 months Be brave, be strong...ignore the offer of the upgrade.

I would also love to know when it was taken out and when you canceled...
Eg. How many months into contract did you manage to cancel?

So if I can upgrade on the 22nd moth which they say is the 14th of Jan and I add to to get to the 24th month which would be Jan + 2 = March. I took out the contract in April 2007, what happened to the last month? Can't wait for this to be done.

Don't upgrade!! By upgrading you're agreeing to take out another 24 month contract.

That's right...14th of March is when your contract expires. Cancel it at the end of Feb for it to be deactivated at the end of March. They won't deactivate in the middle of a month (due to payments being monthly etc)

I had my 3G for about 4 years and I never upgraded so I wasn't tied into any contract. AFAIK you need to wait for your 24 months to be up before you cancel...

So I'll cancel at the end of Feb, trust me I have no desire to upgrade. I don't want 3G for another month never mind 2 years.
