Changing handset on contracts?

Hi,
I'm on PAYG and considering going onto contract but never done it before. Am I right in thinking you take out a deal for minutes and a handset e.g. 100 minutes with a Nokia on Orange? What happens if during your contract period you want to change your handset? Can you do that or are you stuck with the same one until the contract's up?

    No network will just change the phone for free for you. The cost of the phone is covered in the monthly fee you pay. If you want a new phone you can either buy a sim free or (if your close to the end of your contract) get an upgrade and take a new contract for another 18/24 months.

    Go through Quidco or Top Cash Back for good cas back deals on various networks.

    Just spend some time looking through the various providers' websites.
