Offers to ask for

If they say no

  1. Ask politely to be transferred to the retention or loyalty team. Saying "cancel" at the phone menu usually gets you there.
  2. Ask them to note the account and escalate to a supervisor.
  3. If it's still no, thank them, end the call and try again another day. Different agents can offer different deals.
  4. Be ready to actually switch. The best offers often come after you book a cancellation.

Best time to call

Call about 30 days before a promotion or renewal ends, on a weekday morning when queues are shorter. Have your account number, PIN and latest bill to hand.

Confirm the deal in writing

After the call, send this by chat or email:

Hi, confirming what we agreed today, [date]: my new price is [amount] a month for [months] months, starting on my next bill, with [changes]. The agent was [name or ID]. Please reply to confirm. Thank you.

When to switch

If they won't get close to the competitor's price, it is often worth switching. Book the new service first, then cancel, and return rented equipment for a receipt.
