Upgrading

Hi, I'm on orange and my contract ends 14/06/2013, however on the website it says my next upgrade date is 30/04/2013. I'm really desperate to upgrade from my current phone, and was wondering what I can do. I've read you can upgrade 3 months early from your contract end date which would mean I could on the 14th of this month, however through more searching people are saying this is not available anymore. I'm so confused with all the dates. Does anyone know my options? Can I upgrade now to a new contract 3 months early, or would I have to pay?

The upgrade date will be exactly that unfortunately. They won't do a thing before that date.

You could do a new contract and maybe get a newer phone BUT they would only do that if said contract cost more than the one your on now. So if you want a cheaper price plan or one the same as your on now then no you can't.

This is what Three have told me in the past

Best thing to do is contact your network and see what they say.

I'm on Vodafone and my contract is due to end in July. I can upgrade early from April. I contacted them recently to see if I could get out of my contract before April and they said yes, I could buy out of it. They quoted me a little less than £70 and said that amount would decrease daily.

Oh yeah you can get out early.........if you pay.

Most of the time it's a lot more than £70, I guess your contract is a low cost one?

When I asked to buy mine out 2 years ago it was something like £250 haha!
