there really is no legal way of doing it, except, join the army and get deployed, then they will cancel it for you,



OR if you can find someone to take over the acct. call cust care up to do a change of financial responsibility to their name and out of yours

I think the termination fee gets prorated for the first year and there is no termination fee after the first year. I could be wrong. Check the fine print on your contract.

wrong

actually depends on the state

"An early termination fee of $240 prorated in the following states: FL, GA, SC, NC, AL, KY, TN, LA, MS, NY and parts of IN and NJ. A non-prorated $150 early termination fee applies in all other areas."

1nePhatTL, you can try on no signal and drop call approach with the customer service.. for 1 month ... keep calling them on daily basis complaining..... then... tell the customer service after 30 days that their service sucks and you wish to cancell it due to poor serivce.... it works well if you just begin your contract... however... its been 6 month... you can give it a try.... but let me say this.... this is evil... and wrong

Easiest way...tell them you're moving to another country and not returning to the U.S.

They usually want something in writing with your name and the new address so they can verify it...they are cutting down on stuff like that...

Who is cutting down on it? If they want an address, just make friends with someone across the pond in either direction. not hard.

Easiest way to get out of contract, just see if someone else wants to do a change of responsbility and take over your account so everything will be changed over to their name and then you won't be responsible. If you have a cool number, you could even use that as a selling point.
