So my contract is up in December..... I'm with Verizon... I will be upfront and admit I did not look this up, so I'll ask here. If I still want to remain with Verizon after the contract is up, do I have to sign another one? Or after that I can pretty much cancel without any obligations?

 

once your contract is up you can do whatever you want

 

if you are in renewal status, go into a store and get a good deal on a new phone.

 

or switch to a carrier with better promotions and equipment.

 

so after the contract is up, does it AUTOMATICALLY renew if I dont cancel it?

 

No, it goes month to month, unless you resign for a new phone deal, or make wireless plan changes, what a Lot of people dont know is, Sprint lets you get new service and get month to month instead of a Contract I dont know if Verizon lets you do that, but you would not get any rebates on Phones, Hence making them more expensive, but you would not be locked in a contract.

 

yeah but you have to pay an extra $10 a month if you want to stay month to month with sprint...

 

yeah its called "outright" purchase on the phone, this is available with all carriers.

ps sprint blows

 

hey synth, as a fellow verizon guy whose contract expires this next month, you get a 100 coupon if you are coming off a two year contract good for a new phone purchase. Go to www.verizonwireless.com and you'll see what I mean. I think I'm gonna go for a v710. Wish the razr was available on verizon but it's not. I want bluetooth on my next phone, no questions.

 

You can always negotiate and extend your contract.

I've done this with cingular:

1350 minutes/month (850 subject to rollover), 7 pm Unlimited nights & weekends, Unlimited M2M, 2 lines, all for $70 per month (plus taxes). With insurance and all the taxes I pay $97.
