When I said I was not going to give a code over the phone he advised that he would block my account I would then know it was really Three network that was calling. I said OK. He then said he would do it and put a note on account so cust services would never talk to me.. I said OK and also add in his note that Three were wrong adivising customers not to give out code numbert.... (I used to write SARs so I am not stupid)."
