Cancel Orange Contract

CG19a

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I'm wanting to cancel my orange contract which has 6 months left to run. I know that I will have to pay the 6 months line rental, but does anyone know if orange make any other charges for cancelling early?

Thanks

I dont think they make any other charges, and yes, you will have to pay the line rental upto the end of the minimum term.

You might consider switching to a lower tariff as per the following term. Then once you have switched to the lower tariff you could terminate the contract and the remaining months line rentals being on the reduced tariff would mean that the settlement charge would be less:

15.1 When you Register you are asked to choose a Service Plan and to indicate which Orange Additional Services you require. You may switch to a higher Service Plan at any time. You may switch once only to the next lowest Service Plan after one half of your Minimum Term has expired, unless otherwise stated. You must read the rules of your chosen Service Plan as they may restrict your right to change Service Plans during your Minimum Term. In the event you do switch Service Plan and add to or cancel Orange Additional Services you must give us not less than 10 days notice before your Billing Date (subject to the terms of any promotional offers you have accepted). We do, however, reserve the right to vary the terms of this Contract from time to time and to make changes to your Service Plan. We acknowledge that if we do increase the Charges, withdraw Orange Additional Services or introduce new mandatory Charges - or if your contractual rights are affected to your detriment - you may terminate your Contract in accordance with Condition 4.3. If you do not give notice within one month of our notifying you of any change(s), you will be taken to have accepted the change(s).

Thanks, yeah just switched to a lower tariff. I asked to move to Racoon 25 thinking this was the lowest tariff, but the guy on the phone put me on the Racoon 25 websave, only costing £20 a month instead.

Since you're you're going to pay for it to the end of the contract, why not actually keep it?

CG19a

yeah, you're probably right! Just don't want to end up with too many phones to pay for.

don't forget, if you buy-out, you pay for the tariff (£20) minus any VAT.

always think if it's worth buying out as opposed to just using lower call-rates for the final 6-months.
