Default Phones 4 U, buying out your existing contract?

Is this true? Another member mentioned it on here, tried to call them to see what it's about and they are shut..

As I'm an impatient barstool I wondered if anyone else had done this? Can't see anything about it on their website...

I work for them and its right.

We lower your old price plan and give you cash or chq to cover the cost of disconnecting it at the lower line rental.

Don't listen to Lee stores are cheaper

I'll go down at the weekend as my contracts shite!

I got an 8800 sirocco on orange for £50 a month, 18 month contract from P4U. My contract runs out next may (i think!)

Fao the guys that work for P4U what sort of deal would i be looking at?

Me and the mrs got the same phones/contract on the same day so we would both be looking into this

ur on a redemption deal, u didnt get a very good phone, hence why u are getting money back.

uve got 10months left which would cost 170, i can do that, u would be on an orange contract at £35 but id get u a new better phone, maybe in a few month i can help u.

that 170 i normally apply towards getting really cheap line rental, normally big buyouts are for when the customers bills are coming out way to high(ie the package isnt suitable for them)

i picked the samsung at the time as looked better than the 900

the only beter 1 seen at time was nokia n95 i think but i like a slim slide phone

its good enough but you say better handset,but would that still be £35 a month as when i deduct the £50`s back it works out £19 a month for 500min +500 txt

fuckin lying pant pulling bastards they are!!

only interested in the sale, couldn't give a toss when you're unhappy.

i signed up for a '£45' per month orange contract....i find out when i get my bill it's £45+VAT i know it's only a few quid but they never fuckin said owt!!!

my bills average about £60 now, whereas on 3 i never went over my usage allowance and bills were exactly the same.
