Early upgrade

Re: Early upgrade

First thing to do is to take the battery and the SIM out, then leave all the bits in the airing cupboard for a couple of days.  Sounds a bit optimistic, but I have seen this work before.  Apologies if you've already tried it !   

If that's no good/not effective, how long do you have left on your contract ?  Can you claim on your household  insurance ?  Could you make do with a cheap PAYG phone until you reach your normal upgrade date ?   All sorts of things to consider here !

Re: Early upgrade

Hi SoosieQ, weclome to the eForum - as you can see, it's the right place to go to for all the answers to your questions :smileywink:

 

It's horrible when something like this happens - I washed my MP3 player not so long ago so I know how easily it's done!

 

We might be able to help you upgrade a little earlier than normal - it all depends on how long you have left on your current commitment with us - to find out though we'll need to access your account.

 

Click here and follow the instructions - one of the team will be in touch as soon as they can to discuss your options :smileyhappy:
