You can normally upgrade 3 months before your current contract ends then the remaining months are added onto your next contract.

I think you can buy yourself out of your contract now at a discounted rate should you want to upgrade earlier.

Yeah im with orange and wanted to upgrade my phone early and they said I could make a one off payment to buy myself out the rest of the contract. I would recommend you call them up and ask them what your options are that would i did then it was mentioned then.

I did not do it in the end as I had 5 months remaining of my contract and you can upgrade anyway when you have 3 months left of your contract so it wasnt worth it. I was just being impatient as I wanted the iphone 4s.

If you can upgrade 3 months early does that mean if you pay off the 3 months then when you renew it's back to a 18/24 month contract and doesn't become a 21/27 month contract?

Or do you have to pay off the full 6 months to make sure you only renew on a 18/24 month agreement?

just bumping this as would also like to know if you get to start a new contract or it jsut gets added on

If you upgrade early, Orange simply add the remaining amount of your current minimum term onto the end of your new term. Eg upgrading 3 months early means your new minimum term is then set to either 21 or 27 months based on 18/24 month contracts.
You can't shorten your commitment by upgrading early.
