Hi,
Not sure if I am posting in the correct place but has anybody got any information on the new ruling for 12 month rolling contracts? If so is it across the whole telecom range of services or is it only for land lines?

Mobile providers have never used '12m rolling contracts'. Contracts are minimum term, once you are out of your minimum term you simply have to give the usual 30 days notice.
The difference with mobile contracts is when you upgrade to a new handset, and are then tied (quite reasonably) into a new minimum term. That's not a rollover, it's a new contract.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -

Thank you I understand so if I upgrade today I sign up for another 24 mths?

No, you sign up for the minimum term specified on the upgrade contract. Could be anything from 12 to 24 months.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
