Verbal Contract Binding?

I made another post as I believe I'm being messed around by Vodafone and a lack of signal in my area (therefore them not providing the service I'm contracted to) after doing a little research I've found out that the contract I have may be unenforceable and have a few questions relating to this matter.

The only things were agreed upon were the length and price of the contract. The fact that coverage wasn't agreed upon would I be liable for lack of service?

If I decided to contest this, how would I go about doing it, I could do the whole court route, but I've been made redundant and can't afford court costs. How would I go about contesting it legally on benefits?

Can I refuse payment until this problem has been resolved (I would stop using the contract while this is happening)?

Without sounding calice or immoral how can I get out of this seeing as only the price and term were agreed upon? I dont want to continue paying £36 a month for something I can't use my house, which is where I spend 80% of my time.

Any advice greatly appreciated

    I can assure you that the only answer you will get on this board is 'Yes', that it is your word against theirs and that you accepted the T&C by using the service for many months without complaining.

    If you want to get an independent opinion, try Consumer Rights board instead.
