Hi,
I'm with Orange but need to upgrade my phone to a blackberry (I've got my own business and need to access my mails at all times). However I tried to upgrade via mobiles.co.uk where I found a good deal only to be told that i was not due for an upgrade....another year to wait
Any way round that? Would it be a case of changing provider/cancelling my contract with Orange? What would I have to pay to Orange for cancelling before the end of my contract????
Thanks for your help!

Hi Anne
Yes I am afraid so you would have to pay your way out of your contact. Number of months x monthly cost - VAT
For example 12 x 35 (420) - VAT = £350
Hope this helps

As above, get a sim free BB but you'll then have to have the BB add on put on you're acc to allow the Blackberry service to run. This is £5 a month. . .0
