 I appreciate OP has said the iphones are staying but thought I should clarify what I meant.. I wasn't suggesting ending the contract she has, just selling the handset and using an old handset or a cheaper handset, thus freeing up some money towards a debt. She can put the sim card from the iphone into another handset and still use all the minutes she is paying for on the contract. She still pays £50/whatever a month but gets say £200 or whatever the handset is worth, which she can then pay off a debt.brokeinlondon wrote: »they would have to pay off the remainder of their contracts I think, and if she's got 11 months left and he's got 18 months... assuming the contracts are for £50 a month (typical contract with free iphone), that's £1450!
 even selling the iphones wouldn't cover that
