I wasn't happy with my phone so I've purchased a new one. How much credit could I expect from Vodafone if I continue contract without new phone? or would I be better off getting phone to sell on?

Thanks, sure someone will advise.

    Vodafone are unlikely to accept/buy the phone back, its all part of a package.
    Are you within 7 days and did you order online.

    The cheapest option is nearly always to buy your own phone, and then get a contract without a phone. Although you no not want your phone you got with the contract vodafone won't reduce the price for not using it.

    An option that is open to you is to sell your phone, say on ebay or a phone recycle website. If you have a contract for 24 months at £20 = £480. A phone you get you sell for £150. So (480-150)/24 = equivalent monthly price of £13.75, given you got monthly for the phone. You still pay £20 a month but you got a cash sum in advance per say.
