According to their terms and conditions she can only start changing at the 9 month mark. And it can only go down to the next plan. However, she can change her plan down each month until she gets to the one she wants to be on. On her 12 months, she can get to change her plan down, three times if she wants to:

5. Connections include a SIM card and are subject to status and signature of an airtime agreement. The agreement will be for a minimum term of 12 months, during which time you must pay the monthly line rental and other charges. If you enter into your agreement on any day other than the first of the month then, for that month only, we will charge you a proportionate amount of line rental and you will receive the same proportion of inclusive minutes, texts from your text pack or text and or data from your extras pack.

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.

She can change plan every month until she gets to the lowest one that suits her.

I thought it was 9 month for a 18 month contract and 6 for a 12 month contract?

If not ring them up and complain lol, that usually gets me what I want.

that's why I checked 'cos my rellie changed her 18 month plan at the 9th month and I was going to post the same answer you did - change at the six month. As you say they more than likely will come and go.

watched The Gadget Show on Five yesterday and there it was stated that you can do a Usage Review at any point in your contract...regardless how long you're into your contract..good luck

[daz_f]

i try doing what the gadget show did on monday watched it myself

but when i contacted vodafone do to a usage review like it said i was told it can't be done in the first 9 months

Just to clear up any confusion, you can go onto the next available lower price plan after the first 9 months. This is the same on 12 and 18 month contracts. You can drop your price plan to the next one available once a month.

You can ask us to review your price plan anytime. It may be the case that you can save money by increasing you minutes/texts, and you can do this at any stage.
