Found a better deal on another network, But cancelling Orange...

Hiya :)

I've just found an amazing deal on T-Mobile and i'm coming up to my upgrade date on Orange. How could i cancel my Orange contract without paying the £58 i would have to pay to cancel :) Is there any way to get a discount on my ETF?

Any help would be great :)
Thanks
Jack

  • No way unfortunately... Providers let you upgrade 3 months early on purpose... It gets you excited about a new phone monthes before you can cancel charge-free. As a result when you have 3 months left it is favourable to upgrade with your current provider. Have you checked to see if Orange can match the deal?
  • Erm, i just want to get off orange tbh lol there awful :') i'd ask them but i just want to leave :/

    Erm tmobile and orange are now merged. :)

    If you want to get out if the contract you can always do what I'm doing and that is transfer remaining contract to a friend/relative. I spoke to them tonight. Told me to call tomorrow with my friend. They will credit check her if all ok then transfer it to her name/address/bank so I no longer have it in my name. The only thing I forgot to ask was can I keep my number and can she keep hers. Darn!
