How To Get Out Of Your Cell Phone Contract
Are you stuck in a cell phone plan you no longer want or need? Does your wireless provider want to charge you hundreds of dollars for an early termination fee to break your contract?
You have options for getting out of your cell phone contract without paying high contract break fees to your current cell phone company.
If you currently have a cell phone contract with Sprint, AT&T, Alltel, Unicel or Verizon, you can immediately get out of your contract by going to WirelessWithout.com and request they help you lose your cell phone contract. There is a modest fee for doing this but it is usually completed in one business day and you will have immediate relief from your wireless contract obligation.
There are also companies that match cell phone contract holders with persons wanting to take over contracts. There is a fee for these services and the process can take weeks or months, depending on your success in finding the person that wants to assume your contract.
Fight with your current wireless provider. Explain your reasons for wanting to get out of your contract. If it is service related, have your documentation handy and give real examples of why the service you are receiving is not satisfactory. Make sure the examples you give are accurate. Do not tell them you were in Las Vegas on January 1st and you could not place or receive calls. They do have the ability to look at your usage and determine if in fact you were using your phone in Las Vegas on those days or if the phone was being used in Houston on that day. They will also have records of length of calls both incoming and outgoing. Be accurate and concise when presenting your case. Additional reasons for wanting out of your contract would be military deployment, death of contract holder or relocation to an area where service from that carrier is not provided.
All of these are what a reasonable person would consider good cause to be released from a contract but remember, it is ultimately up to your cell phone company and their policy as to what would justify them to waive any contract termination fees.
