    The max was only if there were 3 months or less left, so if you started in May this year you'd be well out.

    It used to CPW (I think) but I'm fairly sure they don't do it any more. . .
  • phones 4 u bought out my old contract but it only had 6 months left, normally they only do it if you have no more than 3 months left.
