I'm currently on a £10 a month rolling contract and I want to switch network provider to one that is £8 a month.
Apparently there's a switching service for this. What I don't understand is, what happens if I switch halfway through my current contract? Do I still have to pay the remainder? It says I must give them 30 days notice if I'm leaving but not sure if this applies with switching.
>what happens if I switch halfway through my current contract? Do I still have to pay the remainder?
Yes. The "switching service" just allows you to move your number from one network to another. You're still liable for the remainder of your contract and you still need to tell your existing network that you're leaving.
So maybe I'd be better off cancelling the first contract and waiting a month before taking out the 2nd contract? Otherwise I'll be paying for two plans simultaneously.
