Getting out of contract

    A friend of mine (not a member of boards, hence this post) is tied to a contract with Vodafone for Perfect Choice 200 package. They are finding that after 3 months on the tariff, they are not using it to its full potential and it is costing them 50 euro a month for minutes they are not using up etc. They cannot (it seems) change to a lower price plan. How should one go about asking/telling vodafone to change them to a lower tariff?

    Don't know the ins and outs of it all but a call to comreg wouldn't go astray.

    Are you having a laugh? For what? The OP hasn't even approached Vodafone (or his friend hasn't) to query will they downgrade. Even if they won't its perfectly legal as far as I know. He signed a contract. I sympathise with him but that's way it is. Stand to be corrected though.

    He signed a contact, probably got a subsidised phone as part of the deal... he can buy his way out...

    Not sure about vodafone but on other networks you can normally change after 6 months to a lower price plan. But like others have said nothing he can really do he is in contract. Be pointless to buy himself out of it as then he would be giving away money and not getting any kinda service in return

    Thanks everyone, most of what he/we had thought already. I'll tell him to get onto Vodafone and see what they say, no harm in trying but a contract is a contract!
