Try Phones4U. They might buy out your contract and you can start again on the tarriff of yor choice.

Did that last year - they even gave me £150 instant cash in my pocket!

Dont bother asking P4U, at that price they wouldnt even consider it. Try lowering your calling plan to the lowest they offer, but at only 12 months into a 24 month deal, it is unlikely Orange would let you.

If you need a new handset why not buy a payg or sim-free handset and use your existing contract - got to be cheaper than paying the £300...... :-(

how on earth did you manage that?

With a managers approval, only if the customer has been there a very long time

The best u can do is lower ur tariff down to 20 quid and then pay it off u have 11 payments left as they take one in advance, so thats 220 quid. Go to a phones 4 u and tell them your needs and they will help you out the best way possible. They will help buy you out of your old contract and give you a new contract and a new phone.

This time make sure you ask them for a 12 month lol
