Great news! I absolutely rufuse any contract over 12 mths, so much that I buy outright now. This means I could pay less for a phone in future. Hope other networks follow suit.
They always have done, and if I’m not mistaken have been required to by law for many years – just hasn’t been that obvious as they’ve been hidden by headline deals for 18 and 24 month contracts.
Common sense at last.
