Orange Loyalty Discount

I'm tempted to sign up for this with my ED50 contract, but Orange have
helpfully disabled the link to their "terms & conditions" page. If I
sign up for this without upgrading my phone, is there then any penalty
if I later wish to leave Orange before 12 months is up?

By taking the discount you'll be locked into another 12 months... if
you were to upgrade & take the discount, I believe you'd be tied into
an 18 month contract.

Yes - you won't be able to!

You are committing yourself for a further period and getting discount
instead of a handset. However, you are still committing yourself.

That's exactly what I did on my ED50 line. I don't mind being locked in
for 18 months, as long as I get to keep my tariff.
