I am moving abroad and need to cancel my mobile contract with orange

Basically I took out a new contract with Orange pay monthly in January, I have always been an Orange pay as you go customer and liked the service I received from them so decided to stick with them when I decided to get a pay monthly deal.
A couple of weeks ago my wife was unexpectedly offered a job in the far east, it is too great an opportunity to turn down for both of us so we are moving abroad in a couple of months.
Does anyone know if there is any way I can get out of my contract? or am i going to have to pay up?

    You have to pay it off.

    If you're out of any returns period, you'll need to pay it off. It's not Orange's fault that you're moving abroad. Give them a call and explain the situation, they may be willing to agree a figure rather than the full liability of the contract.
  • Hi jimimack,

    Other than what has been advised already, we have a Customer Account Transfer process, where the agreement can be transferred to a friend or other family member. The team can be contacted on 0800 079 0005 between 08:00 and 22:00 for more information.

    I hope this helps.

    In terms of a lump sum repayment, Orange may offer you upto 25% discount.
