    I have 5 months left to run on a 24 month Orange contract at £25 pm, I find I'm not using a third of the minutes I'm contracted too, also the mobile web or text, I think a rolling one month contract with a bought phone might suit me better.........it's me fed up with 2 year contract.:(
    I don't see any point in cancelling the contract and paying the fee only because you use less airtime than you pay for and you are 'fed up'. You can only lose financially, not gain.

    Buy outright a more modern phone and use it on the existing contract then. It makes no sense to pay for cancelling the contract and then pay for the new rolling one.

    Good point, you've talked me out of it, see how easy I succumb, that's how I fell for the 2 year contract, must be more positive in the future.:T
