My friend told me once that when you are about nine months into your contract you can drop to a lower monthly rate if you can prove you do not use enough of the included minutes/texts etc. I have the iPhone on the £45 a month contract. I just don't use it enough and I was looking to drop. o2 told me I couldn't do it, but my friend is adamant he has done it twice mid contract.

Does anyone else have experience of this?

Usually after 6 months in my experience

You can downgrade the iPhone tarrif after 9 months.

yep you can, the woman in the o2 shop told me that, i said "really?" all shocked cos i knew nothing of this and her expression looked like she'd just told me something she wasn't supposed to
9 months btw, i'm happy with my iphone so am gonna keep it past the contract, i've put the 9 months date in my diary

[bigdavecox90]

Yeah, it's definitely 9 months.

If you needed someone else to tell you 9 months, then consider it done!
I figured it was the only way i could justify the 16GB version, knowing the upfront fee would be less but the monthly costs would go down over time. This isn't the cheapest way to get a 16Gb iPhone though, the maths has already shown that.

am i rightin thinking that the iphone was released 9 months ago, so now I can start lowering my fees?! I got my phone on release day.
I nowhere near use my time or texts.
it is one step down a month?


..i need to fish out my contract..

[No1Joker]

I'd phone up O2, they'll tell you in an instant. plus jot down your end date too (in case Apple release a newer version you'll know when you can upgrade again) I think you can trade up a month or so early - anyone know for sure?
