Hi all :)

I'm about 5 months into an 18 month contract with Vodafone and am finding am not using the phone as much as i thought i would.

Just wondered if you try and cancel , are there loads of charges and penalties and how do you actually cancel the contract.

Just wondered if anyone knew. thanks

    Yes, but you will have to pay an early termination fee. Normally a multiple of the monthly tarriff and the number of months left. Sorry

    In your case 13 x £x = Early termination charge.
    Best Regards

    Yeah, you will be looking at roughly price per month * 13 (remaining months).
    Basically it is not worth cancelling you might as well carry on using it, you could always ask if you could drop a tariff. Although usually you need to serve 9/12 months before they let you.

    This is the point of a contract you are locked in, you get a better deal on contracts than 30 day rolling deals as you are locked into the price.

    Can you transfer the contract to someone else?
