Re: Getting out of a cell phone contract.
I'm pretty sure T-Mobile switched over to prorating the ETF in 2008 when all of the big carriers did. They may have required a new contract for you to pick up the benefit though.Comment

Re: Getting out of a cell phone contract.
Almost all cell phone contracts have a clause where if something is changed within the contract then you have a small window of time to be able to cancel the service without penalty. For example, if T-Mobile decides to up their charges for text messaging on a certain date, then they have a right to let you know in advance the day that the change will take effect. The assumption is that if you continue using the service, than you agree to the changes in billing... BUT, there's a certain amount of time before and after that change where you can call up T-Mobile and request that you want out because there was a modification to the contract.
Research (google) Material Adverse clauses for more information. My advice is to dig deep for any recent T-Mobile price changes or anything that relates your service, no matter how small it is. There's homework to be done, but it might just be worth it in the end.Comment

Re: Getting out of a cell phone contract.
When I switched to tmobile to Verizon: told a guy working at Verizon I wanted to switch but was still under contract with tmobile. He calls tmobile and tells them I don't get reception where I'm living (obviously a lie). Now granted I was getting out of my ex girls plan so I wasn't dropping a while plan. But it woulda still cost me $200. The tmobile rep bought it, and I signed a contract with Verizon that day. This was back in November.Originally posted by MoJust once I'd like to be the one they call a jerk off.Originally posted by MoYou underestimate my lazinessOriginally posted by Mo**** ya

Re: Getting out of a cell phone contract.
What SqeakyD said is right on.
Their are videos on YouTube about this, or their were. I saw one a while back.
Some guy found that a certain tax had been raised, it had something to do with the government taxing towers that Verizon was using or whatever.
It was only a few cents, but the guy got on the phone with a Verizon rep, told them he couldn't afford the change in price and wanted to opt-out of his two year contract (for only a few cents a month, but it still worked!).
Verizon was giving him a hassle in the beginning and offered to waive the fee's he would be receiving due to the tax increase, but he still was able to argue his way outta the deal.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried. We’re talking about on the biggest stage, in New York, playing out of position and asked to hit fourth for the New York Yankees. I mean, that’s never been done.” - Sheffield on SheffieldComment

lol.
They will most likely want to see his orders.
When that happens just start quoting Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men. You will have your contract canceled in no time.Ohio State - Reds - Bengals - Blackhawks - BullsComment

Re: Getting out of a cell phone contract.
what about if you just want to get another phone....with the same company. I still have several months left on this T-Mobile Blackberry contract....but I really want that new HTC phone they have.
But I dont really want to pay an astronomical ETF plus the cost of a new phone.Comment

Stone, I think with T-mobile you can do that. You just have to renew with them for 2 more years.follow me on twitter: www.twitter.com/eton_riflesComment
