Contract Advice

I am almost at the end of an 18 month contract with O2 via carphone warehouse. I have always had contracts but now money is tighter I am wondering if I would be better switching to PAYG. I currently pay £30 a month but only use about 100 mins talk time and no more than 100 texts a month. Just looking for some opinions on whether to ditch the contract or what deals might suit me better.:confused:

    If you do cancel with CPW be sure to do it by the book in writing with proof of postage and proof of delivery. It is amazing how many letters do not reach them!

    Before you ditch the contract, phone them to give in your notice. They will offer you a deal to stay with them.

    If it helps out on the financial situation then get them to confirm the details in writing before accepting it.

    They might offer you a free for the year deal!
