why are muslims so difficult to correspond with, you ask a benign question and everyone goes into suspicious refutation mode :D if a firewall had a personality it would be a salafi on the net. :D

if you feel the company you have your current contract with havent fulfilled what they originally promised e.g quality of service, good network, correct billing etc.. then you can call the disconnections department and throw up a fuss, normally if you ask to speak to a manager enough times you get your way

btw i dont condone anyone lying to get out of the contract early, only do so if you feel the service wasnt up to standard

Lol, I wasn't sure whether that's what you wanted to do or not, so I asked to clarify :).

I have a 3G contract, they are awful! I can't wait for my contract to finish!

The original contract should outline their policy regarding customers wishing to terminate their contract. Often if you let them know a certain number of days in advance, as specified by the contract, there shouldn’t be much of a problem in cancelling your contract.

You know their English is actually not too bad. They make it worse by trying to put on all those accents!

mcafee firewall: has an attractive GUI with bells and whistles to match but in tests it has shown to be an average performer

norton firewall: a strong firewall but lacked anti leak properties that would have put it on a par with some of the best in class firewalls.

zonealarm firewall: best of breed firewall that has anti leak properties but was recently acquired by an israeli firm that may be of concern to some users worried about the firewall dialling home.

salafi firewall: by newcomer IA is in a class of its own, the only one to offer a special refutation mode that would block intrusive attacks with pre set refutations. it does have some drawbacks however and often flags benign traffic as harmful and ocasionally overlooks nasties which it interprets as safe when clearly it is not

Well there is this contract I know of although I have not personally:

It's with T-Mobile the 750 min.

You Just pay £1 for the sim, and what they do is they initially charge you normally for the contract, than after you recieved you 3 month bill you take it back to the Shop and you get a check for your 3 month standard contract charge, and so on.

So all you end up paying is £1 for the sim. You don't get any phone, however you pay for any additional charge that you incur i.e. that are outside you 750 min contract.

Anyway I don't know what shop's does it or are they still doing it.

Wassalam

those are cashback offers that allow you to claim back your line rental with a 12month contract from online retailers as well, you just have to remember to claim it back....
