That is the attitude that let's the consumer get screwed now. Complacency is what AT&T want from us. I don't think there should be any early termination fees. Just charge full price for the phone and move on. AT&T and T-Mobile both have that option, you can pay full price and not be locked into a contract or you can bring your own GSM device.

They all stopped doing that years ago.

| Re: On typical 2 yr contract still pay $60 cancelling 1 mo early said by joako :They all stopped doing that years ago. Not true. T-Mobile has FlexPay. If you bring your own phone or buy one from them at full retail you can get service without a contract. If you get a discount on the phone price then a contract comes into play. | |

| Re: On typical 2 yr contract still pay $60 cancelling 1 mo early said by kfsutops :]Of course they have the option, but the price it so that it makes no sense to that pay that price. Not if you know how to game the system.
With T-Mobile at least (and AT&T?) you can buy any "prepaid" phone kit that they sell and use it for postpaid service simply by swapping the SIM cards.
I got a replacement Motorola V195 for $30 this way. Would've been $100 to get it through the postpaid group. Works just fine. | |
