I'm currently on an 18mth contract with Orange and 4 months over already. Paying £22/pcm. I want to know that

1. If I decide to leave them how much I need to pay? Is £22*14(remaining mths) or do I get any discounts? minus VAT?

2. Can anyone advise any other network with gud customer service? :(
I need atleast 300mins per mth n even 0 text is fine.
Thanks.

    £22-£1.45*14-17.5%(VAT)=£237.35

    For £15 a month T-Mobile do 600 minutes & 500 texts on SIM only 12 month, but you seem to have a problem with commitment so I would advise their 350 minutes & 300 texts for £15 a month 30 Day SIM only.

    And you get a flexi booster with T-Mobile, so one of the following
    Unlimited Web (1GB FUP)
    Unlimited Texts (3000 FUP)
    Unlimited Landline Calls
    Unlimited T-Mobile-T-Mobile calls
    and a load of international text/call boosters.

    Please 'Thank' me, it took a while to research and post this and thanking takes 5 seconds :)

    There is a discount of £1.45 a month if you terminate your contract. This is because they don't have to provide you with calls/texts/internet etc.
