If you are still under contract with your existing provider for a SIM-only deal or a phone-and-tariff contract, you may have to pay the rest of your contract before you can switch.
You can usually find your contract end date by opening up your network's app on your phone assuming you've downloaded it, that is. If you can't see it there, just ring up your network and they'll tell you. Of course, if you're on a rolling-contract SIM-only deal, you can switch whenever you like. You just have to give your existing network 30 days' notice.
Switching to a new network only to find that you get a poor signal in the area where you live or work is something to be avoided at all costs. To check the coverage quality that the network you're joining offers in your locality, use postcode coverage checkers.
All you have to do is enter your postcode and you'll see a map that shows you how good coverage is in that area. Given what a hassle it is to get a new number, which you then have to give out to all your friends, family and other contacts, we're going to start with how to switch and keep your number.
Since that's probably what most of you would prefer to do. You can do this by ringing their customer support line. Under consumer regulations, they're obliged to provide the PAC Code within two hours of your request. And now with new Text to Switch regulations, switching networks is easier than ever.

Once you've got your PAC Code, your next task is to contact the provider you're joining and supply them with the code. And they can start the switch. Make sure you use your PAC Code within 30 days. After that point it runs out and you'll need to text or call your network and ask for another one.
Ring from Sky Mobile handsets, or phones registered to other networks and landlines. To get your PAC code, fill in this giffgaff contact form. VOXI is aimed at under 30s.

Switching mobile phone provider is at its simplest if you're not bothered about keeping your number. In this case, you simply contact the provider you want to join and tell them you won't be transferring your old number and want a new number instead.
It's then just a matter of contacting your current provider to tell them you want to end your contract. Of course, the smartest thing to do is to try and match up the start and end dates of your contracts. Line them up right and you can ensure you won't be without a phone service for any period of time and won't be paying two contracts, if the dates overlap.
The other way you might be able to solve the problem also concerns the Consumer Contracts Regulations. These regulations say that the seller must provide you with:. If you do not have any of this information, then your return period is increased to a year and 14 days. In this case, your first step is to call customer service for the seller, or contact the seller by email, and inform them of what you wish to do. Be aware that this process could be long, and you may end up needing to get a solicitor involved if the company disputes your claim.
If you bought your phone second hand or in a private person-to-person deal, then you, unfortunately, have no recourse. You can always try speaking to the seller, but if they don't agree to give you your money back then there's little that you can do. Trying to cancel a new mobile phone contract because you've changed your mind isn't going to be very easy, but it's not too different to the mobile phone issue described above. No matter your circumstances, the first thing you need to do is read through your contract itself and note any cancellation periods.
Some operators do allow you to cancel the contract within a few days of signing it , though not all do. You can find contact details for major operators at the below addresses, but you'll still need to check your personal contract, just in case there are any differences:.
There are two circumstances under which you should be able to cancel that contract with no problems, however, whatever your contract may say…. If you signed up for the contract online or over the phone, you are again protected by the Consumer Contracts Regulations and can cancel within the first 14 days. The only other circumstance under which you can freely cancel your contract is if the price is more than you were quoted.
The operator must give you 30 days notice that prices are going up, and you are free to cancel anytime within those 30 days without penalty. If neither of the above conditions applies to you then no, you're not exactly stuck in your contract.
You have the right to cancel a service contract whenever you like. However, you will pay a penalty for contract cancellation. This penalty varies by the operator but is usually a percentage of the monthly bill multiplied by the number of months left in the contract. Perhaps understandably, operators tend to be quite secretive about these charges. Your best bet is to call customer service and ask them directly what the price will be to cancel your contract.
Be warned that if you're at the beginning of your contract, this fee is going to be fairly high. You will also be required to pay off the balance of any phone or hardware you received when signing the contract. Yes, everyone changes their mind sometimes. But with mobile phones and phone contracts, changing your mind might end up costing you a fair amount of money. It's always best to give these things a lot of thought before committing, and remember that buying or signing online gives you a two week cooling off period!
