  • Broken Mobile before end of contract term

    My Friend has an iPhone and a 2 year contract that expires in April.

    Her Iphone has stopped working properly. Apple are at a loss and have suggested that Orange should replace the phone (as it is on contract).

    The best orange can do is apparently charge her£140 to get out of her current contract and get her upgrade saying "that's technology for you"

    Am I right in thinking that she should be able to expect a phone to last the term of the contract?

    Would the consumer credit act be a factor here i.e. reasonable use?

    I am writing a snotogram for her and I wanted to quote the right thing to make sure she gets a replacement as this not by her doing and surely if you have a 2 year contract the phone should last the 2 years?

    thank you in advance
