    Just out of interest, where do you get that information from please?:question:

    Apparently, you are paying a cancellation fee, which is VAT free and not for a service, which attracts VAT.

    Regardless, I know two people who were released from a contract after explaining they were moving abroad.

    May not work for everyone but it did for them (after a bit of persuading).

    Moving abroad is not a valid reason for ending your contract early, if it were then the rate of emigration would increase dramatically, as everyone would be claiming it!
    Death or bankruptcy are fine though...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Phone Vodafone and explain the situation. You are not alone in this situation so they must have a way of dealing with it. Perhaps the Vodafone rep on here can advise.

    Let me save Vodafone the bother.

    Email them via there website with WRT135 in the subject.

    However 2 months into a 18 month contract and the OP is not likely to get any leeway.
