    I think you would have to show that Orange had altered the terms of the contract to your financial disadvantage. Failing that, you would most likely have to pay the remaining 5 months line rental as an exit fee.

    As above, You would have to buy yourself out of the remaining contract which is normally the Tariff x Months left.

    Or you could put your tariff to the cheapest Orange offer then cancel when your contract is up.

    If you have rung 07744 numbers in the past from your orange phone you should be able to walk away from your contract without any fees . I did after only 7 months of an 18 month contract .

    The timing depends on your billing date. If you downgrade today, it will happen on your next billing date, so you could then pay off the remaining at the lower rate.
