Can I renegotiate the terms of my Orange contract?

I am 14 months into a 24 month contract with orange. My current tarriff is 600 mins per month and unlimited texts. When I signed up this was fine as i would often use between 400 and 600 mins, however a few months ago my circumstances changed somewhat and I now barely use 150 mins each month and send about 30-50 texts.

Can alter my tarriff with orange, or will I have to stick it out till next May?

Hope someone out there can help.

    You can migrate your Orange tariff downwards on a 24 month contract from month 12 onwards by £5 a month.

    I'd give them a bell and ask if they can review your "Best Plan".
