I received a phone at work which they will pay for and my daughter should pay for her phone separately now too. I tried to cancel the service and they said that it will cost $300 to cancel-what is this, I thought is was illegal to charge a cancellation fee in California. T-Mobile said that is a prorated amount and that I renewed service, I did not, just added my daughter last Sept 2008. This is just like being charged a cancellation fee to turn off my water!! Where is the justice? I have T-Mobile with two lines, one for me and one for daughter. I received a phone at work which they will pay for and my daughter should pay for her phone separately now too.

I think that's far from the truth. I broke my contract with verizon for many reasons. 1) after comparison their plans are ridicously priced as compared to other carriers 2) nearly impossible to upgrade to a newer, nicer phone without paying an arm and an leg, 3) there were other carriers offering same phones, similiar plans for a way lesser price. A lot of these companies make it almost impossible for costumers to affortably upgrade, change plans..etc. Some individuals like myself like to try new phones annually and if I'm stuck with a 2 year--like i was before--that will drive me to terminate the contract. And realistically, new phones come out every week! I don't think its fair that I'm stuck with the same fone for 2 years. Reina,

I called them about 6 weeks ago to find out when I could cancel without incurring fees, but they claim they have no record of that conversation. I will pusue an offer of prorating the fee, since I only had 30 days left. I'll let you know what happens.

They have violated the contract by not providing cell service about 25% of the time. Do they discount me? No. Would they let me out of the contract because of their failure. Hell no! They still wanted me to pay the fee when I wasn't getting what I am paying $140 per month to get. Now I have some leverage. If they hadn't abused this, we wouldn't be talking about this.

I had Verizon. I HATE AT&T's service. It is horrible. Verizon will have the iPhone in 2009. I suggest you wait and not spend money on a phone that won't work half the time because their cell service sucks. Jason, I bought that phone in April. I had Verizon. I HATE AT&T’s service.

KNOWING THERE WAS AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE. How hard is it? No one wants to pay the fee, of course. But when you sign a contract, you sign a contract.
