t-mobile retention advice

My contract is due for renewal in the next couple of weeks. Was looking for some advice.
I have a 50% friends and family discount which means my contract was an iphone 4, unltd calls, texts and internet for £30 per month.

I have a few options,
A) Keep the phone i have (it was new in October from the Apple store through insurance as it was faulty) and go sim only, hopefully will get it cheaper, go on a rolling 30 day contract

b) get a new iphone 4s, keep it and the price of the contract, and sell the iphone 4

c) get a new iphone 4s, sell it, keeping it sealed, keeping the price of the contract and keep using my iphone 4 as i am still happy with it.

Not sure what to do for the best, any advice appreciated x

    if your happy with the iphone 4 and contract why upgrade ,let the contract just run until you want to upgrade,
    waiting when the minimum term finishes can help you get a better deal
    but i am on the advantage plan with T-mobile and they like to charge us more for phones,now that an old plan
    there or their,one day i might us the right one ,until then tuff

    Option A sounds like the most sensible option.

    Find out how many minutes and data you've been using over the last year or so and look for something to match that on T-Mobile another network if necessary.

    If you find something better on another network, get your pac from T-Mobile and they might come back with something to beat whatever the other networks offering.
