| Is there a flat rate cancellation fee for mobile contracts? I thought that I heard that the Government has forced mobile company's to stop their ridiculous cancellation fees and switch to a fixed amount.
Is this true?
Thanks.

You heard wrong. They are working on such things but no laws yet. Likely 2-4 years away the way things work. |

Also, it's unlikely to be a flat rate system. Will be pretty much Rogers and Telus has right now, where you pay back any subsidies you received. |

| I know telus does this, They divide the subsidies by the number of months your contract is, for me it was something like $400 and my contract is 4 years so every month I loose about $11.00 from my cancellation fee. |

They have changed it, and it depends on when you signed your contract. Whatever the case, they are still allowed to get their economic recovery from you -- for example, if you get a $699 iPhone 5 for $199, they're out $500....so if you cancelled after one month, they'd credit you 1/36 of that $500 plus a couple other fee's. Otherwise, it's $20 per month voice, max $400, and $10 per month data, max $100.
