Is this a question? How about dialling 150? You pressed more buttons typing this thread.

If its not a question then its about as clear as mud what you are on about/after.

usually 3 months before your contract end date.

Yeah but depending on your monthly bills you are banded accordingly which will affect how much (if any) you will pay for upgrades.

Sometimes it was (some years ago) better to cancel your contract and start new. As the deals were a lot better, but i guess the mobile companies realises that eventually the numbers are going to run out :-)

and people didnt want a new number everytime.

Exactly what i needed

I believe you can upgrade at any point, its just you are then tied into the contract for and extra 12 or 18 months after the original contract was meant to run

How can I post anything useful until I understand what the **** you mean :rolleyes:

Either take the time to post a proper thread, or don't be so lazy and ring them up (There's the useful bit) . It would take less than two minutes.

It's your shortcoming - not mine. BTW follow your own advice.

No longer true im afraid ask to upgrade before 12m on an 18 its a point blank no now for any amount of money. However you could buy and start again but that would be silly

And to the op 150 > 1 > 4 > 1 is upgrades

sorry but hes right. You were vage for no reason. You forget who is doing who the favour when you ask a question. You even ended it by trailing off with trhee dots. That even implys you knew you were being vage.

I wanted a quick and simple answer, im sick of talking to phone companies right now, honestly. i didnt wanna go through a bunch of automated phonelines to find out the answer, or get told i can't upgrade.

well for starters i was on it a fwe days ago and it definitly took a lot less time, id say about 2-4min total. There is no hold lines both times ive done it actually. Secondly they will tell you the exact date you can upgrade instantly. SO i dare say youd of got better advice.

Sorry your in the wrong accept it and move on yeah?

:EDIT:

O and for the record orange will tell you its the day before the 3months before your contract runs out. So that is even better info then what you got before. You can do it a day earlyer then you thought.

Is that they only way to find out?

I can text "up" to 150 and T-Mobile will text me back to say what date I can upgrade from...

{Insert obligatory Orange bash here

}
