    One of the other posters quite rightly posted that the phone comapny may have no obligation beyond the end of the contract? You would need to check the T&C's but I'd tend to agree that the phone wasn't actually purchased, therefore there is no contract, therefore no SOGA..... my opinion, not fact....

    But regardless, I think 19mths is questionable for a mobile phone anyway, its a mobile device that tends to get thrown about, dropped, sat on etc... Under SOGA, they might offer to repair, or they might offer a partial refund but to be honest, its value must be low.

    I think your best bet would be to purchase a second hand phone on ebay.

    well the fact says that any "free" gifts, ie the phone for taking out a contract, are covered by soga, not actually sure what happens when they offer a full refund for a free item?:o
    Back by no demand whatsoever.

    That would mean committing to an 18 month contract with an increase in tarriff of £10-15 PCM or £180-£270 over the term of the contract for something that will probably last me (if its anything like this phone) another 19 months?

    I think not. I'd rather buy another phone direct i think.
