Vodafone drop Carphone Warehouse

Last week, Vodafone said they're not going to be selling phones through the Carphone Warehouse anymore [Full story here]

But does it really affect anyone?

I was just wondering, if you're signed up to Vodafone, and Carphone release an exclusive handset that you really like, are you not goint to get it because Carphone can't upgrade you, or would you get a new contract with another network and transfer your number?

Cool

Vodafone only represent around 5% of carfones interest so it wont really bother them.

If this arises then you would either have to make another choice or buy the handset offline from carfone warehouse.

You could even buy it as PAYG and ditch the simcard as carfone warehouse supply all their handsets unlocked, they just marry up a sim card with the handset you choose if available
