hey guys,

Ive got 2months left on my contract phone and was just wondering if it were possible to cancel it by paying off the remaining cost for the months ahead??

any ideas..

fitzscoob

yes it is.

Just phone them up, tell them you want to cancel, they will tell you that you need to pay the remaining term of the line rental up.

If it was me, I would first phone up and change my tarrif to one cheaper, then next week phone up and cancel.

thanks fitz, only problem with changing the tarrif might be that it starts a new contract and i dont really want that, i maybe wrong however.

No it doesn't but you can only drop down one peg, if you get my drift.

I wanted a new contract with voodoophone but the old had 6 months left to run. I was recommended to change from the tariff I was on to another to reduce the costs over the last 6 months. The new tariff was not a cheaper one but bizarrely enough the most expensive.

I went from £15 a month with loads of free texts, loads of free minutes and then 10p/min (or whatever, I forget the actual numbers) to the highest business rate with no free calls, 50p/min calls but only £5/month. As I wouldn't be making any calls on the old tariff this ended up far cheaper.

Worth a thought.

I had a similar situation back in November. IIRC, the fee was about £40 - but I managed to cheat that by going to CarphoneWhoreHouse and getting my new phone/contract with them - they gave me the £40 to pay off my old contract

Ive got a mobile sitting in the draw on the lowest tarrif, due to that lot.

its been nothing but hassle, upgrade dates given and then declined, amongs other stuff. I got so fed up before christmas, i went and got a new contract with voda.

as soon as i can give notice to leave i,m having my number back as a sim, and i,ll change it over to voda in 12 months time
