    if you didn't get the phone from them then !!!!!! are you paying £45 a month for,



    I think you may have misunderstood what you have paid for, as there maximum sim only plan is £27 per month and is only 12 months

    how much did you pay for your phone? as I doubt you have paid for it in full or you would be in a sim only plan and wouldn't be paying £45 a month

    6. You may change your price plan for free to the price plan with the next lower monthly cost to your current price plan once each month after the nine months following your connection. During the first nine months following your connection you may also change your price plan to one with a higher monthly line rental charge. If you change price plan to a price plan of a different type then any unused minutes will not be carried over e.g. if you switch from an Anytime plan to an Evening & Weekend plan.






    when you are 9 months in you can reduce

    Someone else who hasn't read what they are signing up to and now expect the company to pull out all the stops to help them.

    If you don't want to be bound by contractual terms, then don't sign up.

    How sad, I was just seeing if they could help, but no they can't. Please don't assume anything about me. I have read the conditions, and do understand contractual terms. As I said circumstances change.

    No assumptions made, you clearly didn't read the conditions otherwise you'd have known about the 9 month clause posted above.

    Circumstances do change, I agree. However no one is obliged to do anything outside of the contractual terms. Otherwise, what is the point of having contracts in the first place?

    Not really. Contacts with a high-end Android phone cost about the same.

    If you bought the phone outright you're, presumably, on a SIM-only deal?

    Loyalty means nothing. Look around this website; you'll see much of it is devoted to switching banks and energy, Internet and phone suppliers.

    As Vodafone offers 30 day contracts, I find it difficult to understand why you took out an expensive 24 month plan as you're perceptive enough to understand things in life change.

    Vodafone don't offer 24 SIM-only deals and the highest price of the SIM-only deals they do offer appears to be £27 a month.

    I think you've missed something out of your story.

    "Contracts for mobile network service"
    =
    Contracts to print money and contracts to sell such contracts...

    Peeps do mistakes, often they do sign such out of insecurity to be able to handle mobile network changes or out of fear of any changes...
    Psychology plays enourmous part in business, especially in technology market. ;)

    so if it is your own phone then the contract is a sim only contract and the normal sim only plan is 30 days but you can have a 12 month sim only plan to make things a bit cheaper

    what sort of contract have you signed that has tied you up for 24 months
