after the cool off period your tied to your contract for how ever long it stakes, although i think you can reduce the tariff and pay minimum for the remainder of the contract.

when you upgrade you upgrade for a further 12/18 months dependant on the contract and what is left on your current contract is added on to that one!

Although also just worth adding that some upgrades are now for 24 months.

No of course not, thats the whole reason they can afford to subsidise the phone in the first place, because they recover that subsidy by collecting a period of line rental of 12/18/24 months or whatever.

Look all you haterz! Everyone knows that the N95 is the king of all phones, and that the best model due to its outstanding capabilities is the 8 gig. If you're all too stupid to see that then you're all cunts. Every single one of you!

if you want a free phone or two try vodaphone. theyre not the brightest pick of the bunch and they seem quite keen to send you a nice new phone if you moan a bit.
