Speeding up the end of an Orange contract.

I'm halfway through an 18 month contract with Orange but I want to get rid of the phone I have, has anyone ever bought themselves out of the contract period with Orange and then upgraded their phone with them?

In the long run, it'd probably be cheaper to just go out and buy the phone you want, and then pop your SIM in it.
You could buy yourself out, finish the contract and then take out a new one if it works out cheaper, but you'd obviously be starting a new contract from the beginning by doing that.

You should be able to upgrade early as well, but only with something like 6 months to go. They will add the remainder of your current contract to the new one too.

You might be able to buy out early if they agree to it but it will be expensive i suppose. Call them and see what they say. You never know they may even agree to exchange your phone for a price.

You *could* buy yourself out, finish the contract and then take out a new one if it works out cheaper, but you'd obviously be starting a new contract from the beginning by doing that.
