I hate 3 so much right now -.-

[Pol Anorl]

Took out a contract on a samsung galaxy ace got the phone yesterday to find after installing 4 apps the phone memorys full..
moved all apps i could to sd card and cleared data allowing me to install 1 more app...

turns out i have 15 ! pre installed samsung apps which i cant remove or move to sd card.

Phoned 3 to sort it out as im pretty pissed off at that as its £26 a month for 24 months got through to be told the companys pay samsung to have them and they can't be removed yada yada.

Was told i can exchange the phone for something else so i got put through and was then told i cant because ive turned it on! what the actual fuck i wasn't told about this when i took the contract out.

Told them id like to cancel it and send the phone back which they said i can but id have to pay an early cancelation fee... its only been 24 hours ive had the bloody phone but ok.. how much...
£10? £25? £50? nope.. £480!

im expected to pay the 24 month line rental because its been turned on.. utter bullshit!

passed round the office to be told all they can do is credit me £5.... more arguing i was told i can be offered £30 credit as a good will gesture which i accepted.

this is rediculous! £480 early cancelation fee within the 7-14 day cooling off period..

Got it over the phone or internet you have distance selling in your favour, got it from the shop, then you have the not doing what you want it to do option, it is faulty and you want your money back, either way you take it back and tell them to do one.

They will say anything to hold you up so it goes past the time to actually get everything back.

You do realise you can get a Samsung Galaxy S3 for that price on Three?

Maybe different minutes/texts etc.

Must admit the Samsung apps are a real joke. I wonder if anyone in the world uses them?

Anyway it's annoying but not necessarily the end of the world as I assume you have an SD card so any new apps can go on there.

As someone else has already said, you can root it and stick any kernel on it that you like and then the preloaded apps can be removed. I don't know the ins and outs of the process, but with a bit of online research you can learn what to do. My phone is rooted as I had to shift the firmware from vodafone to o2. Wasn't too difficult, but I haven't done much other stuff since then so I can't offer any advice about getting rid of the samsung apps, it's definitely possible though.

Also I'm pretty sure rooting the phone doesn't void the warranty either, if you have one. It's been designed as an open platform for development etc if you so desire. As long as you don't play with the hardware - the physical phone itself - you can do whatever you like to the software and it keeps its warranty. Small wiki info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_rooting#Europe.

Phone them up and call them a blackcurrent

You tried to cancel, but they said no, so you accepted £30 as a goodwill gesture. Do you think you might have just bargained-away any rights to actually cancelling that contract?

They are complete dicks, Ive had nearly two weeks of shit with them for what should have been an easy transaction. I took out a contract on a Tuesday night, paid %49 for the handset and sat back waiting for it to arrive.

Next day they phoned me on my current mobile, I missed the call as I was at work. They then rang my old house and asked if I lived there and then put it on hold becuse of security.

I was told on the Wednesday night there was no problem anymore and the phone was coming. It didnt arrive Thursday.

Spent 3 hours being passed between 7 separate idiots, none of whom I could understand, eventually to find out it wasnt coming, but would be here on Tuesday. Never came tuesday, so I rang them and cancelled. They called me yesterday to ask me when I wanted the phone delivered. Apparently it can take two weeks to cancel.

So yeah, nearly 2 weeks of idiocy, listening to unintelligible foreigners, being asked what my fucking phone number is even though I havent got one and Im still not clear of them.

They can suck a fat one, Ive given in and Im using GiffGaff instead of paying out £37 a month.

I'm getting a phone call a day from one of the currants to ask why I'm not paying for the service they weren't providing. My dongle hasn't been used for almost 3 months, I've sent them several emails about the connection dropping and very slow speeds etc, but never had a response to any of them... and now they have no record of me emailing (should have sent a copy to my email address as proof.... but too late for that now).

They are a shit company that will do anything to get your money from you then not provide the service they promise... much like most

You need to sort your life out, if a mobile phone is worthy of your hate.

I have a 15 year old phone that still works and still does what it should do: rings and answers.

Maybe you should stop bending over and asking to be shafted if you don't like being shafted?
