    How old is the phone? many handsets now have 24 months on the warrenty as oppose to the normal 12 so it could be worth reading any paperwork you have or contacting the phone company.

    Otherwise you could get it repaired but it would cost you, get a quote first.

    Apple warranty is 12 months, you can extend it with Apple care for £59 (thats the RRP you cn get it for less) to 24 months but it has to be done before the initial 12 months is up.

    The OP will have to buy a replacment either sim free or 2nd hand.

    depending on the iphone u got p4u can buy you out if you sign new contract through hem,
  • If you got it from vodafone it will either still be under 12 mths Apple warranty, or only just out of it as they didn't get iPhone until January.

    Two choices. Take it to Vodafone, they will send it away to Apple, you'll get it back in 2 weeks.
    Or make a Genius appt at an Apple store, take it to them and they will check it. If they find even a small fault they will replace it immediately.

    If it is just out of its warranty the Genius bar will still replace it.
