Phone contracts and the law?

If you are on an 18 month deal and it expires can the phone company (t-mobile) still legally carry on charging you even though you have a new phone with a different company?

    A contract is for a minimum term not a maximum. At the end of the minimum term it changes to a rolling 30 day contract, you are required to give 30 days notice to end it.

    I did give a months notice but they conveniently lost the letter.

    Yeah, if you're going to write to them you have to make sure you can track it.
