Getting Out of Tesco Contract?

Hey,

Just wondering if there's anyway I can get out of my TESCO 24 month contract, I'm not a fan of the phone I got, and the service hasn't been great.
The network (part of O2) went down the other day, so I couldn't call or access the internet on my phone, and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to get out of my contract?

    You can get out of your contract but you will have to pay them an early termination charge which will be your line rental x remaining months.

    Could be expensive depending on how long is left on the contract and how much you pay each month.

    What phone have you got?

    Could sell that and put the money towards something you want if you really don't like the phone.

    You could probably get £100 for that, how badly do you want another phone and how much would you have to spend?
