01-16-2010 J.Biz We here at LifeStyle Unrated have found out there may be a loop hole around wireless phone carrier Sprint's early termination fee (ETF). So if you are currently a Sprint customer and you want out of your current contract, this may work for you. You can give customer service a call and schedule service cancellation. Be sure to follow these steps closely.
You must call in after January 1. Ask to be transferred to the cancellation department.
When you reach the
cancellation department, note the $.40 regulatory fee increase that
took effect at the start of January. Explain that this is a material
change, and you would like to terminate service without the early
termination fee.
If you are porting
your number out to another carrier, alert the representative of this.
They will note your account to be closed out properly after porting.
Be sure to only
port your number after calling customer service, and explaining the
process above. If you cancel service or port your number to another
provider before following steps one through three, you will be charged the early termination fee.
You have until
January 31st to schedule disconnect of service. You may complete your
billing cycle, but any requests to cancel your contract after the 31st will be denied.
That should do it. Now you can switch carriers if you like or start a new contract.
