Cancellation in writing when out of contract.

I'm just out of contract ona couple of phones I have and I notice that they stipulate that they must have 30 days written notice for cancellation.

I'm no lawyer, but surely I no longer have any legal obligation as the contrct has expired so don't have to give them 30 days notice and pay another months fees. Can I just not pay them and tell them to cancel it over the phone?

Any comments appreciated.
Giving up is easy...... just keep on trying!

    Your contract has not expired.

    You have just completed your minimum term - the contract continues indefinitely until either party cancels it - which you can do by giving 30 days notice.

    What robt said.

    You sign up to an "18 month contract" (as an example), which simply means an 18-month minimum term. It then goes on to a rolling 30-day contract, until either party gives written notice to cancel the agreement as stipulated in your terms and conditions.
