Not sure if this has already been mentioned:
If you are under contract to T-mobile (in the UK) and want to leave without paying out for the rest of your contract, have a look at the following thread:

For those who read this site via wap, care to tell us what it says

Basically, T-Mobile are increasing their charges for itemised billing. Since this breaches their own contract, any monthly subscribers who wish to cancel their contracts because of this may do so without incurring penalty charges for breaking the contract. T-Mobile say that this 'offer' will run for one month only.

So yet again another telecom operator decides it can do just what it wants.

So you could get a free contract phone on tmobile, but the contract and the phone is yours ?

No, I should imagine they've changed the contract now to take into account the new charges, so any new customers would still be on a contract for one year.
As I understand it, it only applies to customers who were already on a contract before they introduced the new charges.

It is customary (well... it is here anyway) that when you go into a contract, and one of the 2 parties decided to change the terms, the other party can get out of the contract for that reason. Therefore it seems a normal thing to me. Just as it is normal that this only runs for a limited time. can't invoke 'breach of contract' after going along with it for 6 months first.
Naturally this only applies to existing contracts. New contracts will be made for the new terms so new customers quite obvously cannot get out like that.

Maybe this is why T-mobile haven't included the P900 in their range yet ? (i.e. Getting a P9 cheaply and then cancelling the contract). Wouldn't you have to return your phone if you cancelled ?
