# Do not get a phone from 3

This is of course my personal opinion and is based on my personal experiences...:-)
As you may have read in an earlier post, I got a crappy new NEC e606 from [3](http://www.three.co.uk) 
which I sent back after a few hours... Well, I recieved nothing more from 3 until
the day after it was disconnected when I got a lovely envelope to send back the phone
they'd just disconnected (and confirmed they had disconnected!). So now, today I have
recieved a letter informing me that a direct debit had been set up...and another one
from my bank telling me that a direct debit for £43.05 from H3G had failed (billing
account which is always empty at this time of the month...)...so they were charging
me £30 to cover administration costs...trying to get feedback from 3 now (but they
say my account doesn't currently exist and they can't give me any information!). So
in summary, my crappy NEC e606 which I had for a total of 9 hours is going to end
up costing me at least £30 (not the banks' fault...) and up to £73.05...this is a
company I want to fail! Update later...
