Canelling mobile contract

Hi guys,

Had some serious complaints with Vodafone, and after 6 months they are still taking different amounts than stated on bills and on the wrong direct debit date :-(

Anyhoo I want to cancel my contract and I'm quite happy to get away from them :->

The question;

I pay £46 a month & my contract is until July 2013.
How do I calculate the cost of the final payment I would have to make?

Thanks

    £46 x 12= £552 minus any discount they might offer you.

    If you are in a 18 month contract thats £46 x 12 = £552, if your in an 24 month contract thats £46 x 18 = £828. In your case probably the £552 ish depending on the exact bill end date.

    You may get something off for paying early, some people have reported a reduction others not.

    Hard to say, sometimes they charge vat but give you 20% off sometimes it's 5 or 10 % discount according to what people report on here.

    Technically the price should not include VAT as there is no service being rendered

    Although have you checked why your bill is inconsistent

    ie Non Geographic numbers, short text code numbers, etc
