Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms How to get 40% off your mobile bill & I phone 13

The kind people on this number (02045710194) offered me a firstly a 40% saving on my mobile bill plus an iphone 13 for £35 per month. I told them they were too late as I had a deal at £25 per month set up yesterday. They dropped the price to £20 and although they didn't have a silver phone agreed to get me one and cancel the other contract. That is customer service for you.

Happily I then gave them my details. Mr Richard Soul DOB 1/1/1900, not a titter was heard in Bangalore or wherever. I told them then to get lost, but if they asked for my bank details I would have used Berrings Bank and sort code 00-00-01 and account 007.
So if you want a bargain give these nice folk a call.

Good work John

I usually do this script:-
What phone do you have?
It is black
Which make?
I don't know
Which provider are you with?
I think one of those fruit things
How much do you pay?
I don't know my wife does that
Can we talk to her?
No she isn't in the home with me

The more persistent ask for here number!!

The saying “if it sounds too good to be true etc” works again.

It can be good sport playing these guys along...

Until you get bored and just leave them hanging on the phone while you go for a brew ☕️

Here in Spain we also receive many calls from telecom companies asking to "talk with the line holder", of course offering prices "you can't refuse".

As they're charged for the minutes they have the line occupied with you, instead of hanging up the phone, I try to catch their attention as long as possible. So, I tell them I'm not the line holder, but that I can pass them with that person if they want to. Obviously they always say "yes" and then I simply put the hands-free on, and (my iTunes is usually open as I like working listening to music) I put them the song "Mah Na Mah Na" from the Muppets Show soundtrack...

I continue working with a smile, waiting for them to hang up from their side, after listening - sometimes many minutes - to " Mahna Mahna - Do doo be-do-do - Mahna Mahna - Do do-do do - Mahna Mahna - Do doo be-do-do be-do-do be-do-do be-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!"

Nice one.

Oh, how I miss those sort of phone calls, I used to really enjoy them but they seemed to have dried up in favour of more e-mails----shame, they can really brighten a dull day.

Just brilliant John V6
