  • why dont you get a cheap payg handset, I got mine for £20 cause my phone got water damage, so using a rubbish phone until I move network, as long as it does what you want for the 3 or so months. There isn't much they can do about a new phone untill the earliest upgrade point. That's when it's better to have insurance. Whats wrong with the phone? can you not get it fixed? or is it actually broken/water damaged?

  • Vodafone sggested to get it fixed but its been in once to solve the freezing problem, but its just general wareand taer really. I dont really want to move I ve been with voda for 3 years so i was hoping that they would help esp as i want to change my price plen up!!
  • Go to phones4u and see if they can buy you out of your contract
    2012 wins! can of deodorant, a personalised Bean, craft show tickets, Top Gear Live Tickets, Case of sourz fusion
  • However make sure the phone you choose is the right phone for you.. aparently P4U don't offer a returns policy on Vodafone upgrades.. not sure how this isn't breaking the DSRs if taken over the telephone but yeah.
