Mobile phone contracts

A mobile phone contract is a way of paying for your mobile phone calls, texts and other services. You agree to pay a fixed monthly amount to cover your phone services for a set period of time.

A mobile phone contract will last for at least 12 months, but phone companies aren’t allowed to offer contracts that last longer than 24 months.

So you did agree to it then? As in your first post you make it sound like it is some kind of error on their part.

I agreed to it by continuing to use the service and not cancelling it after the cooling off period that they offer.

So yes, I agreed to the contract, but on the other hand they appear to have given me a contract which is illegal. AIUI (and IANAL ;-) this would make the contract void.

Yes. From the email they sent me:

Contract start: 16-Oct-12

Contract end: 13-Oct-16

That's 3 days under 4 years by my maths :-)

2 year contract begun Oct-12 then renewed in Oct-14 perhaps?

I'm wondering if what happened back in October 2012 was that the OP was contacted by one of the third party Vodafone partners and upgraded through them.

There have been a few posts on here from people who thought they were getting a good deal but had actually been transferred to a business contract.

In that case, there are business contracts that (if you don't cancel within a specific time period) will renew your contract automatically for a new minimum term.

I'd bet this is one of Vodafone's premium partners offering a business contract via an unsolicited phone call.
