Upgrade question

Sorry if this is a silly question?
I've been sent a letter from the Link saying i'm due an upgrade.
I was planning to get rid of my t-mobile contract in a month or so and switch to 02. Can I take this upgrade and run? i.e can I take the upgrade and in a month get rid of my contract and keep the upgraded phone? My nokia is looking a bit shabby a year on!
Thanks

    Unfortunately not. The upgrade is actually a commitment to a new contract which will have a minimum term of 12 months.

    Start a new contract with O2. The deal will be much sweeter than if you were upgrading and it will be easy to keep your existing number.

  • You will also get a nice new phone which means you can sell your old one on ebay to offset your costs. Alternatively, if you are happy with your old phone, sell the new one to make even more money. Want to know how much? Simply type the moake and model mnumber into the ebay search and see how much they are selling for.

    You know it makes sense!
