That seems a bit weird. Are you sure? Have you asked them if its possible?

you have to pay the whole contracts money just to get out of the contract. even if you're halfway cross the contract, in my country, you have to pay the full cost a full contract.

Yes you have to pay the remainder of how many months are left for instance if its £20 per month you gotta pay that amount for each month left. Plus any other call charges made. Under law if they are not providing what they promise in a contract you can get in touch with Ofcom the telecoms regulator. Got to
www.ofcom.org.uk. Good luck. Oh and yes 3 are pants.

Bonovox got it bang on there, yes you need to pay off however many months you've got left to get rid of it.
HOWEVER, hate to say it, but this can be considered your fault some extent. All networks give you a 14 day change of mind policy if you have no or little coverage. Thats two whole weeks you have to realise "huh, I've got no signal" and take it back...

I had the 3G coverage issues with 3 and could only get a signal with 2G but after they decided to ditch O2 in favour of Orange, I couldn't get a sinal at all. It took me about 2 months of constant complaining to customer services but they did cancel my contract free of charge. It was worth it though as I couldn't have had to put up with it for another 10 months.
You should also think about debranding your handset to enable you to turn off 3G and select GSM, that's what I did.

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with 3 I have had 3 for about 14 months and the service is first class. Good service and connecticity. I defected from Orange as I had loads of problems with them.
I was thinking of changing to Virgin as they do some really good deals.
A change is as good as a rest!
I hope you get sorted soon

3 are ok as long as you have no problems.....they're customer service is crap......i've had loads of dealings with them through work, and if they say they'll call you back, it never happens.
as for the contract, no way out of it mate, you're stuck there.....
can't be bother looking back, but someone said about the 14 day change of mind....its no longer the case, you need to ask when buying the phone now, otherwise you could be stuck with it full stop. the only way you can be sure to be able to return it within a timescale is through the 7 day distance selling act, but it has be gotten either online or over the telephone

my mate is trying to get out of his contract to buy a 3G iPhone - the 3 rep in India mentioned you can request a change of owner form, you will need to find someone to buy your contract from you though - maybe if you throw in some ££.
I am considering doing the same with my 4 month N95 8gb, again to get the iPhone.
no idea if there is much of a market to pick up a contract though.
Dave.
