Cancel 3 mobile contract at end of contract

Hi

I have a contract with 3, its almost nearing its 18 month duration, 27th August 2012. Their site states I have to give 30 days notice to cancel.

Would this mean I am tied in to paying for an extra 30 days after the 27th August(so 26th Sept?)

Or can I let them know 30 days ahead of the 27th August that I wont be continuing the contract beyond and hence my last payment is for the month 27th July - 27th August.

Any advice will be gratefully appreciated.
TIA

    You let them know 30 days prior to end of contract you do not wish to extend beyond the contract end date of 27th August. Get PAC code if you want to move the number to another network.

    Might be worth finding out exactly what 3 require in terms of notice. In past, its been a formal letter in post - which should arrive in your case before or on 27th July. Worth sending signed for delivery.

    So do the following

    1. Find out where to send notice letter
    2. Send signed for delivery to arrive prior to arrive say 5 days before 27th July.
    3. Confirm on phone that they have received it and processed your request.

    call them 30 days in advance and that should cover you.
