Moving abroad & contract phone

My friend at work is moving permanently to Austailia in a few months, she has cleared up all loose ends bar the mobile phone as she needs it for work until she leaves

She has been told she cant cancel the contract and has to continue to pay monthly, the only problem is that she physically cant, as all her bank accounts will be closing. Is there anyway she can pay them off before she goes or what are her options

Thanks
Cate

    Yes she can ask to pay the early termination fee, if she speaks to cust serv they will tell her what this is.

    Or she could try and get someone else to take over contract.
