Stuck In contract

Hi everyone

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get out of a mobile phone contract early? I have taken out a new contract with vodafone and I'm now regretting it as I don't feel it is good value for money. Truth be told I rushed into it.

I have had some major issues with vodafone in the past (bad customer services). Is there anyway of getting out of a contract?

thanks

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are a myriad of threads similar to yours already posted. If you want to get a quick reply, just read a few and see what has already been said.

    But, in a nutshell, you agreed a contract. You will need to either complete it or buy it out. By buying it out, you may get a small discount but you will save the VAT.

    There is no other "silver bullet" or "golden key" and you need to live with the consequences of your actions.

    You say 'new' contract, how new? If you bought on-line or over the phone then you will have a cooling off period, if from a shop then you probably won't.
    I've given up trying to get my signature to work with the new rules, if nobody knows what the rules are what hope do we have?

    Ah, Buyers remorse. There will always be a better deal around the corner..


    Sorry but as has been said apart from buying out the contract you are stuck.
