Cancelling Phone Contract

I have a direct debit set up for my Orange Blackberry phone. I wont be able to afford paying it over the summer so I'd like to cancel it briefly. Is there an easy way to do this? I could just cancel it from my Natwest account but I'm worried they might get pissed off or something.

 

Any ideas?

Talk to your provider.. Cancelling the D/D without telling them will effectively make your phone a glorified brick, fuck up any credit score and get some twatty debt collectors on your arse. Not to mention any late fees/interest added.

 

If you talk to Orange they maybe able to lower your tariff or work out a revised payment sched, just dont expect to be able to use your phone on contract until its up to date payment wise.

 

If you need your phone, shove a PAYG sim in the interim unless bricked by Orange

 

Soz if a bit preachy, but that is pretty much the options afaik

How far into the contract are you? A friend of mine recently got into a lot of trouble because he brought a contract phone on an eighteen month

Thanks for the advice. I didn't think cancelling the direct debit was the smartest plan. I'll get in touch with Orange when I get the chance.
