Hi,

I have to agree with Anon here, I don't think that the OP should pay anything more - I think the ex-gf should be thankful he carried on paying in the first place! In fact, how do you explain that OP?

Thinking about it... Wouldn't the ex have received something from Orange advising that the contract is almost up and offering an upgrade to a new phone or change to a more suitable contract? I don't want to open a can of worms but if someone doesn't pay and this goes to a DCA then they will go after her for the money not the OP so it's in her interests to pay up or take over payments on the contract anyway!

They don't always send details of the contract coming to an 'end' but OP's girlfriend should have known it was a 2 yr minimum term.

I agree about the ex being grateful OP paid it for so long. I know it is the right thing to do of course, but it also seems very unusual because most stories on here are completely the opposite!

Ahhh... I wasn't sure, I thought they'd send some sort of reminder at least to say something like "you've only 3 months left on your contract why not upgrade your phone..." or something like that - was sure I got something like that from Orange but it was a while back

I think the good thing here is that the OP seems to be safe regardless which is the main thing (being a member of our community and all now )
