Do T-Mobile buy out your Contract?

I'm currently after a HTC Hero from T-Mobile for £25 a month. I think it's a good deal, and would really like one. However, I currently have a phone with Virgin Media. It's a £10 tarrif, 18th month contract and I've completed only 6 of the months. It's only 100 minutes and 100 texts and I'm needing more.

I was wondering whether or not T-Mobile would maybe buy out the rest of my contract, seeing as though the phone I'm buying from them is a massive improvement? I can understand if they won't, it's just a thought.

Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately they wouldn't, they'd wipe out their profit margin in doing so, you could always scrape some pennies together and buy it out yourself, if you're regularly going over your allowence it'd probably be cheaper in the long run
