Hi all,

Long story short, my girlfriend got her phone smashed up today (no insurance ) so needs to buy a new one.

Her current contract with T-Mobile expires in Aug 2011, she is paying £15 a month.

Now I know that some phone shops do a contract buy out if you buy a more expensive contract from them, what do you think the possibilities are here?

She is looking to pay max £30 a month a new contract (wants an iPhone but i dont think that will happen at that price ???)

Thanks
Mike

Yeah desire is a nice phone, but do you think she will have to buy out her current £15 p/month contract beforehand?

I would imagine having no insurance would be a hinder, she could try for an upgrade?

If she doesn't want two phone bills then yes, pay it off.
Remember that she won't have to pay the VAT on the remainder, so it'll be number of months times line rental, minus the VAT. Also remember the her number will be lost (unless you ask for it to be transferred to pay and go).
Then shop around for the best deal.
