Well, took me a long while, but finally today, the transfer is over.
Quitting 3 was quite easy (and lucky): I still have a few months left on my contract, but because they made a mistake on my account, I was able to terminate the contract early (hurray!). Was kind of expecting them to make me some offer so I wouldn’t change networks, but no. Way to treat a three and a half year old customer.
Going to Vodafone was easy. Having a friend working there even made the contract sweeter (£560 for a one year contract with 1200 minutes, unlimited texting, 750MB mobile internet, 2GB internet using openWiFi and 25MB / day when on roaming and 10 free sms when on roaming).
But of course, a contract like this had to come with a phone. Now that was a story. Had a two week wait for the phone (fine, I could live with that), but on the day they were supposed to deliver (the crappy DPD service) I was home waiting for it, and they don’t deliver! DPD comes with an excuse that it had been refused (the twats). So call Vodafone, ask for redelivery next day at work address, all good and next day… no delivery! Was already on its way back to Vodafone (again, DPD twats).
So another call, another arrangement (after finding where the hell my phone was) and it was delivered today at a Vodafone store.
At last, after walking a thousand miles (not really, I took the bus), I’ve put my iPhone 4 to rest (until Christmas) and got a nice white upgrade to the… drum-roll…. iPhone 4S 16GB!
