Would you believe it?

Eleven months ago, I left Orange for Vodaphone. Admittedly I lost my 240 mins for 120, but gained "stop-the-clock", which is better for me. A few days ago, orange called to see if I'd signed for a 12 or 18 month contract with V. When I told them I'm comitted for 18 months, they asked if they could contact me in the run-up to expiration.

When you have signed for 18 months, are you committed up to the last moment, or are you allowed to leave any sooner?. I sort of feel like playing them at their own game and telling Orange I want to continue with stop-the-clock, they might offer me something similar.

    If youve signed an 18 month contract, then its 18 months... and not a day sooner!!!

    You can leave at any time however, but you will be liable for the costs of the remaining months on your contract...
