Want to change my phone.

[eezyrider]

I'm 10 months into a 24 month Contract. I have had Windows phones for some time but since Win10 upgrade less and less apps work on it including some important ones.

Consequently I have decided I reluctantly need to change to Android. I'm liking the look of the Smart Ultra 7. What would be the cheapest/easiest way of doing this?

Hi. The only way is to pay off the remainder of your current contract (minus the VAT) then get your new phone.

This could be expensive due to having 14 months left on your current contract. Selling your current phone may help towards the cost.

Hi

Yes perhaps sell your current phone and purchase a new one from Vodafone on Payg (there maybe a top up requirement ) or buy one that's unlocked to all networks or locked to Vodafone from Highstreet shops such as CEX as one example.

Thanks for the replies.

We're not talking vast sums of money as in the latest Samsung etc, so if the simplest,cheapest way is to buy a PAYG and swap the SIM I'd take the hit on the new phone because windows has got that bad!

My partner has decided to get rid of her Nokia Lumia for similar reasons. 

Shes now using an iPhone 5 purchased from cash converters. 

The phone your interested in takes a micro sim so it depends on the size of your current one. If it's a nano one then Vodafone shops and £1 discount shops sell SIM card adapters that make the SIM card larger.

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't know about the sim card adapter but luckily they are both micro sim.

Since yesterday's major win10 update my Lumia 640 has got even worse.

It's got to go!

You're welcome

If the Smart ultra 7 is available on PAYG you could buy one outright, then if needed,  get a sim swap at your nearest vodafone store to ensure correct size sim and use your current contract 9on the new sim) in the new phone.
