Re: Contract Question

Something you can do now is call AT&T and ask for the unlock code for your phone (say you'll be traveling internationally). T-mobile will reimburse you for your AT&T early termination fee when you turn in your old phone and buy a new T-mobile phone. You can go buy a cheap flip phone and turn that in instead of your current phone, it just has to be in good condition and turn on. Then buy the cheapest T-mobile phone when you switch and sell it on eBay/Craigslist. You can then continue to use your unlocked AT&T phone on T-mobile and you'll be contract free.

It's easier than it sounds, you can Google around and see what other people are doing.

Thank you! This sounds great, except that I've tried to get AT&T to unlock them by telling them I am traveling overseas (which I really am), but they still refuse because my iPhone 5S is only 6 months old. Any other ideas?

Look for an unlock service on eBay.
