Cancelling contract?

I've got a 18 month contract with Vodaphone which I got in March, so technically I'm half way through it. However, I'm spending way more then the original each month, simply because I can't or dont realise how much I use my mobile phone. The orignal price plan was £25 a month which seems good, but I'm spending £40-£60 each month and I can't afford it. Is there any way in which I could cancel this contract, and how would I go about it?
Thanks, Nicola x

    ask them to change the tariff to something that suits you more.

    To be honest you're only getting such high bills because a £25 per mth tariff won't get you much in the way of minutes and text which leads to overspend quite easily. Just by upgrading your tariff to £30-35 per month will most likely stop bills of £40-60 per month occuring. Just ask vodafone to recommend something more suitable for your usage.
  • If you change your priceplan to include more minutes and texts, your bills will come down, as a greater allocation will be included. I'd recommend contacting Vodafone Customer Services by going to https://www.vodafone.co.uk, selecting 'contact us' then 'email', leaving the shortcode FIT135 to route you through to a member of our online department.

    If you just mention in your email that you'd like some advice on reducing your monthly costs an adviser can then review your previous invoices and suggest possible changes which will allow you bring your invoices down.

    Either that or use the 44555 service to keep track of what you are using.
