Hi All.

Newbie here.

I have a 2 year vodaphone contract, but to save money want to finish it, and go Pay As You Go.

Any tips on how to go about this?

Cheers

    No chance unless they change the T&C so that this detrimentally affects you or you lose signal because they dismount the nearest mast.

    Fatso Chanso. Might want to downgrade tariff if they allow it after 9 months or maybe 15 month.

    Thats easy enough to arrange.

    Give Vodafone a call, ask them how much the early termination charge will be, have your credit card ready and pay the charge over the phone. At least you will get a 2% early termination discount and dont pay the VAT.

    Downgrading wont be on option on any of the Your Plan tariffs.

    I bought a car on a lease agreement, but to save money want to finish it and go by bus.

    Any ideas how I can get the finance company to say "That's all right my friend. We will just wipe off the debt and terminate the agreement"

    Any tips on how to go about this?

    Cheers.
  • Guys Dad - you might want to re-post this on a more appropriate board (DebtFree Wannabe?) as this is specifically for mobile phones.
    Before you ask, yes, I work for a bank, but no, I didn't get a bonus!

    Get Away .:rotfl: You must be missing the joke ?
  • I got a laugh out of this. I was expecting you to have some reason to come out of the contract not just to go to pay as you go. You took a contract for a phone you have to fulfil it stop looking for a free ride. Why not sell your phone and use the money you make from it to pay some of your termination charges? If you dont want to lose your phone then suck it up and pay your bills. This board is for genuine tips for saving money.

    I wonder if someone can help me out? I've got a bus right now that I own out-right but I'd like to swap my bus for a car with incomplete finance. Anyone know anybody that might be interested?
