Orange Contract With No Network Coverage

Hi, first post here and I'm after a little help.

I have a 24 month Orange mobile phone contract and I'm 7 months into it.
The problem I have is no network coverage at home, it's extremely rare to get any signal. Due to this reason is there any way to cancel the contract without having to pay the rest of the contract out?

Thanks,
Darren

    Not 7 months in (unless it's just stopped ?).

    If you bring it up in the first few days you can get it cancelled, but after that amount of time you've little chance, sorry.

    Have you checked it's not a fault with the phone ?

    Generally speaking...no.

    Did you have coverage originally when you signed for the contract or didn't you check?

    Ahh I see, then nope you have no chance whatsoever of being able to cancel and not having to pay the remainder of your contract. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    There's nothing in the contracts that says you must have coverage at your house. Iguess as the poster above says, coverage *may* increase with the merger but I wouldnt rely on it :o/.
