If youre on Orange in the UK theres a clause that might get you out of your contract
I stumbled across this on my travels, it caught my eye as my dad is about to retire and still has about 8 months on his contract that he probably wont use. Obviously dont take this as gospel from me, do a bit of reading and searching if you want to throw the shackles of Orange off midway through a contract.
