orange phone contract

thetank10

I have a 24 month orange mobile contract, £20 per month, samsung tocco. I hate the phone and have got 15 months to go before I can upgrade. What should I do? I cant go another month with this phone let alone 15!!

The only option would be to buy a new phone (either Orange payg or sim free).
They won't upgrade your handset until you're in the last 3 months of the contract.

Not much you can do bar buying another handset and using that , you have to honour the contract, which sounds a rubbish deal, oh how I'm glad I left Orange :j

uh... so which other networks will let you break a contract without honouring it?

doubt there are any that do. Its wrong that should you cancel your contract you have to pay for the rest of it! greedy companies

Sell your phone (assuming its in ok condition) and use the money to get a new phone.

yeah maybe. I want a blackberry so no point me geting that on pay as you go?

indeed.. you'd need to change your package and have bbs to make that work. what about giving the contract to someone else (bro's / sister's) and starting a new one?

orange do something where they review your usage and you to change your package accordingly. have you tried this? perhaps you could give orange a call and twy sweettalkin with them and perhaps offer to send your phone back in exchange for another phone.. (where you pay a subsidised cost)..

There are rules about transferring your contract to someone else, such as that person transferring a credit check.

NEVER simply give someone a contract sim still in your name as they could run up a huge bill which YOU would have to pay!
