Broken phone before end of contract

josh1771

Hi

I have dropped my Samsung Galaxy SII in water and it is broken.

My contract doesn't expire until September and I am able to upgrade from mid July. I was planning on upgrading to the S4 anyway and would usually let the contract run down until they call so I can negotiate a low price. However, I need a new phone as soon as possible, so I can't wait until July.

I know it is possible to buy out a contract but i would ideally like to just upgrade with vodafone. I know that if i call now they wont offer much of a discount and ill end up having to pay more than necessary.

Does anyone have any advice on how i can get an s4 at minimum cost?

Thanks in advance,

Josh

Can't you use a cheapy £10 phone for a month? It's not long to wait.

Buy a £10 basic handset and use it until your upgrade date.

OR try a third party company like phones4u, they sometimes buy customers out of contracts if you sign up to a new 24 month one with them

I wouldn't wait for them to call, they probably never will. The contract won't end in September, it will continue until you cancel it

Request a pac code and wait for a call back. I garauntee a callback. Retentions can upgrade you 6 months before renewal date. We do it all the time

Negoiate your price for the s4

I would say you want phone and insurance for 35 quid . Remove the insurance after a few days and hey presto you will be left with 25 quid tariff. And remember we can give 1 addon for free. So like minutes to 08 numbers or extra data.

Remove the insurance? Sounds like he needs it after giving his S2 a swim!
