I'm not getting a very good deal from Orange- 100 mins, unlt texts and 500mb data for £21.50p/m

I want to haggle and ring up to quote soime deals but I was wondering when best to do this.
I am due an upgrade on 25th Aug, but my contract doesn't actually run out until October.
Do I have the power to haggle and get a better deal now? Or do I need to wait until October?

Thanks!! :)

    No you don't. Wait until 30 days before the end of your minimum term, you will have more power to negotiate then.

    Also consider leaving and going PAYG as a safety net from circumstances changing and you credit file being trashed by unforeseen events.
