Can I upgrade early/cancel my contract?

Hi, I got a blackberry in April and it was really not what i was looking for. I want to upgrade to the new iphone 5s but i still have another long year and a half on my current contract. I went on the vodaphone website and asked them and they sad it was possible and they would call me. They never did. So we went into a vodaphone store and only there they said there was no possible way of upgrading early and i would have to wait another year and a half.surely there's some way to? Should i cancel my current contract and start another one? Should i ask again? Or should i just eave vodaphone and go to another phone company? Does anyone on here have some information they could tell me? I don't really want to buy the iphone and just put the sim card in because it is 550 pounds or something!

Hiya.

Canceling your current contract would incur an Early Termination Fee which is calculated as your monthly line rental cost (before VAT) multiplied by the number of months remaining minus 2%.

Therefore, a line rental of £30 per month with 6 months remaining would have an Early Termination Fee as follows:

£24 x 6 = £144 - 2% = £141.12

Re: Early Upgrades

Vodafone currently allow customers to upgrade 75 days before the end of their contracts… Which is obviously quite a long way off in your case.

Personally, I'd make do with the Blackberry until then.
