phones 4 u - paying off contract??

Recently I had a call from phones 4 u offering to pay off my contract so I could get a new phone. I presume that it'll start me off on a new contract but does anyone know If they will be paying it off through cheque back or just straight off??:confused:

I have an appointment with them on sat but I want to get all the info I can before so, because I know that they can sometimes be quite pushy!!

    Pushy isn't the word. Intimidating, manipulating liars, in my limited personal experience. I'm just glad I was able to resist their "charm" and escape the three staff that had surrounded me and tried to (or should that be "insisted on"?) selling me a phone I didn't like on a network I didn't want, and lied about it being for 12 months instead of 18. "Oh, yeah - well, just give us a call after 12 months and we'll sort something out - no one stays for 18 months any more." Yeah, right!
