The max they'll upgrade early is 3 months (and remember that time gets added to your contract it doesn't just vanish. So a new 24 monther will really run 27!).
All you can do is either wait, or buy a sim free or Orange payg 4s and stick your sim in that.0 -
The best way is to pay £200. If you are in the second half of your min term, you can downgrade to the next lower tariff first. The Early Termination Charge will be 6*(monthly payment), probably less 1/6 discount.
Or just buy a sim-free 4s for £500. As simple as that.
Your question about the insurance sounds like a joke or a wind-up.0 -

I suggest you wait. The £200 is better spent on something profitable. Besides, you will not die if you do not own an iphone before June 2012.:jDON'T STEAL!!! Government HATES competition!:D Pay your tax and make voluntary contributions to the government! :A:T0
