Leaving Utility Warehouse but......

Firstly I'd like to say Hi (I have been a lurker for ages but have now registered yay!)

I'm thinking of leaving UW after going onto a couple of comparison sites (this one included) and realise we can save nearly £500 a year!

The only thing is... We have a mobile contract (24 month with a smart phone) with them. Would this be a problem if we want to leave or can we keep mobile with them, but get gas and electric elsewhere?

Thanks

    Only the mobile is in contract - other services can be moved away without penalty.

    I am UW customer for elec and gas. I joined their home phone and broadband but after 2 years I transferred to VM without problem. I am still with gas and elec with UW without any problem. I think every single service to take is separate....
