It used to be at the half way point, but I 'think' it's changed to the last month.

Hi it is still half way I downgraded my 18 month iphone £45 to iphone £40 about 2 months ago. It will only be a £5 reduction but over 12 months is £60 in your pocket

Hi - I would like to join in this conversation too

I've got about 7 or 8 months left on a contract, and I wanna downgrade to cheapest possible, but the section on the Orange website says I can only change to an equivalent or more expensive plan, not a cheaper one.

How did you downgrade? Did you phone, or is there a section on their website.

Many thanks.

Hi Ace

Call 150 opt 1, 2, 4 and ask them to lower it. It will only go from 45 to 40 or 35 to 30 its one price point

Cheers

You can downgrade your tariff just after your halfway point.

Month 9 of 18 month contract, month 13 of a 24 month contract, and if your one of the lucky ones on a 12 month contract, its month 7.

Oh.. and if you arent using all of your inclusive minutes and texts, it could be worth ringing and asking for a 'best plan' review, this review can sometimes, and i stress sometimes, lower you tariff considerably. (my wifes best plan review took her from a 35.00 per month tariff to a £22.50 per month, substantially lower than the 1 price point per time)

Unless, like me, you're on the £5/month tariff. There is no downgrade option possible, at any time during the contract. I guess when you're at the bottom, there's nowhere to go!
