...to cancel/pay for the remander of your contract? my new one started august last year and i never ever use my phone, this is costing me £30 a month (supposely lowest tarriff) and i could really do without paying this any ideas...

when i contact the provider they say - you are on the lowest tariff and thats all we can do, when i ask about canceling my contract they change the subject or hang up :mad: !

Basically, they will charge you what is remaining on the contract...for example, it your 9 months into the contract @ £30.00 a month you would need to pay the outstanding contract amount of £90.00.

Who do you have the phone contract with? £30.00 PM seems a tad high for the lowest tarif available...or are you in a contract where you cannot change for 6 - 9 months?

on orange you should be able to change tariff after 6 montsh.
you certainly can stop the orange care which at least saves you £5

Ask Orange to transfer you to their OVP (Orange Value Promise} tariff. Choose one of the following:

£14 Vodafone Business - 0 minutes included
£15 Vodafone Anytime 30 - 30 minutes included
£16 T Mobile Relax 25 - 25 minutes included
£16 O2 25 - 25 minutes included

Here is a link to Oranges OVP detail:

Awesome advice there!

Don't forget to cut out the orange care, it's an unecessary premium.

Also, have you contemplated selling the phone you don't use on eBay?

Don't Orange offer a data only plan for £10/mth, and I think Vodafone do one for £5/mth.
Cancel the Orange care

Saving £25 per month

If you take up an upgrade offer and get a new phone from them, then yes, you will be entering a new 12 month contract - but not if you just want to downgrade your tariff (after 6 months) until your contract expires.
