Help! Orange contract with far more minutes than I need!

I took out an 18 month contract with Orange last September, but unfortunately not long afterwards the two people who make up about 80-90% of the minutes I use switched to Orange too, thus meaning that I could ring them without it counting towards my allocation. I am now left with a contract for far more minutes than I need, and Orange are unsurprisingly refusing to renegotiate it. Is there anything I can do??

    Can you downgrade with Orange after 9 months?

    If not, make sure you are registered for Best Plan

    You can downgrade eventually, but not for a good few months...I downgraded about 12 months into an 18 month contract.
