o2 contracts

I am thinking of taking out a new contract for a 16gb I phone the contract lenghth is 24 months at a cost of £45 for 1200 mins and 500 txts with unlimited internet etc, and i am wondering if I was not using my full allowance of minutes and txts how long would I have to stay on the £45 contract until I could reduce to the next lower contract of £35 which is 600 minutes and 500 txts.
I do like the phone and am currently paying £35 a month on my existing o2 contract which expires next month but rather than get the 8gb free I was wondering if I could get the 16gb and maybe only pay say 2/3 months at £45 then reduce my tariff.

    You have to complete a minimum of 9 months on the original tariff..


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    This makes no sense - if you upgrade to the £45 iphone tariff you would need to complete 9 months at £45 before you can lower.

    This happens regardless if it's an upgrade or new contract.
