    Afraid this is a well-trodden path. It was your error - indeed Orange wouldn't let you downgrade either so wishing you hadn't switched would still have the same issues. The reason?

    Folk signed up to the highest tariff (to get the phone free or cheaper) whilst others knew their limits and paid more for their phones. A few months on, the first group downgraded and their costs dropped. Those that planned carefully were then fools for paying the higher cost for the handset. This had to stop - and you've experienced what the networks did to stop this abuse.

    Yeh i see your point...i just dont like it!!!

    Thanks

    You have not studied the forum rules, the correct response is to accuse everyone of being Vodafone employees who are all involved in the rip off.

    Isn't this a post more suited for facebook where no one will read it rather than a money saving forum where real issues are more important.
  • Actually, I think the OP must be a headline writer for BBC news; they love to report things inaccurately as long as they sound sensational, or recycle old "news" when it's quiet for once.

    have orange stopped this aswell i downgraded last december

    Under EE the contract now stipulates no reduction. The old Orange scheme did allow you to drop a tier after 6 months, but not (say) plummet to the cheapest option.
