    Could be worth phoning phone company and seeing if they can help anyway, mine contacted me during a contract and they reduced it by half!

    Agree about contacting your mobile provider...generally once you've had your contract for a period of time they will offer you reduced tariffs.....I've just reduced my iPhone contract from £32 a month to £22.50!! Yes the call allowance is reduced, but I never used the full allowance anyway!! Worth a try - good luck x

    Feel free to PM me if you want someone to talk to. I'm no expert or anything but I know from experience it does help to offload onto someone.

    *hugs* See if your college offers a free counselling facility. Mine did, I didn't get on with the woman so only went once but it did help.

    Ok random thinking here but I have a plan.... I've been looking at my type of phone is still making a decent amount on Ebay so I'm thinking of selling my phone and paying off my contract then taking out the £7.50 a month contract from talkmobile...

  • Not a bad idea. Find out how much it would be to pay off your contract first though. Another alternative would be to just buy a cheap phone off ebay or somewhere and still sell your own, but don't switch to sim only contract until the end of your contract. If that makes sense!!!

    How you feeling now?
