Orange Contract

I am 15 months into my 18 month contract with Orange

1200 x minutes and unlimited texts £45 a month
I seen a deal with O2 the other day, same thing but for £30 a month

Does anyone know if Orange would price match that despite being 15 months into an 18 month contract?

Thanks for your help

    They may allow you to Upgrade early, but they will not match another tarrif mid contract just because you seen it cheaper elsewhere.

    I would wait the 3 months til its up, then phone up and tell them your leaving and they'll give you a good deal.

    I pay £14 for 200 xnet Unlimited SMS and 500mb Free internet.

    If you are 15 months in, Orange let you upgrade early and then add the remainder of your existing contract onto the end of your new one.

    Give them a call, from what you've said they may well be able to get close to it. What they do as well is look at your current usage over the past few months and then look for the best price plan suitable to your needs too.

    Get better offers at the end, rather than early upgrades. I would still wait 3 months and threaten to leave.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies

    I've been able to do deals before 15 months in for what the OP is wanting, so depending on their spend and what handset they wanted, it's worth giving it a shot.

    Not that I'm saying it's definite that the OP could get it though. And threatening to leave has no effect on it. If they can't give it they can't break rules they'll just have to let the customer leave.
