    My girlfriends phone gave up last week so she went and bought a new sony erikson something or other on an 18 month contract with 02.

    Now shes had nothing but problem with this phone since she got it and as well as that it was a rip off.

    Anyway all of that is just the back story. What i want to know is has anyone got any advise on how to get out of a contract with 02?

    Afraid not. She can get the phone sent and fixed free ofcourse, but she will still be tied to the contract. Fault in the handset wouldn't be grounds for breakage.

    You can of course buy the contract out if you wanted.

    More than likely paying for her monthly bill x how many months are left on contract

    Would there be any room for negotiation?
    She has her internet with them aswell, maybe if she threatened to pull that they might be willing to do a deal?

    I got out of contract with O2 because data coverage wasn't working well in my area.

    She technically has 14days, she needs to go back to the store asap and i think the only way she will get out of contract is to fight a coverage issue. its worth a shot but you cant just sign up to a contract and then decide you just dont want it anymore!
