upgrade my voda contract 12months...?

Hi there ,
I am due for an upgrade on my phones. I have always had a 12 month contract , although it has been harder and harder to get .This year I have been told no chance . 1 option I was told I can keep the length of contract but no Phone(HTC desire last year +nokia e-72) I also have discounts applied to the phone .
Has anyone else had any similar experiences this year i.e. no 12month contract / limit on the phone ?
Does anyone have an official line from vodafone ?Will I have to settle for an 18month?

    As an existing customer, you have no chance - but other networks seeing a steal from Voda will probably oblige... all this assumes oyu are aware of the caveats of tiying yourself down to any form of contract for something so fickle as a mobile, and the opportunity to fry your credit file and DD access to any old firm you've had no experience of, I'd switch to PAYG instead, or at worst, a SIM only deal.

    Still worth a try though?

    Maybe either call other networks or try phones4u who tend to buy out and could even see if you could get a better deal on the same network which could be easier then with other networks.

    You say a while ago but after 5-8 years depending on the problems which caused it to go bad, if you have kept payments up to date your credit file is supposed to get better (this is what a financial advisor told me anyway!)
