Default Cancel Verizon contract

Please Login to Remove!

Does anyone have a fool-proof way of getting out of my current Verizon contract without paying an ETF?

I've heard of people getting out due to increases in TXT message price and long-distance calling per minute, but these changes have already come and gone.

Didn't know if anyone had any good ideas that would work currently?

Thx in advance.

just keep bothering their support people, maybe they'll "fire" you like sprint did to 1000 customers a month or two back.

Sorry, I am of no help

You signed a contract....Why should they let you out of it?

I'm simply unhappy with their service and would like to look elsewhere.

You had at least 14 days (maybe more) when you started your agreement to decide whether you were satisfied with the service.
Now, you should do the right thing and pay the ETF to terminate your account.

Fool-proof???

Pay the termination fee!!! It's called honesty and accountability...

But then again what do I know.... I better leave this theft thread alone before I get a BBF sponsored vacation...

That's to easy dawg... It's far easier to ask for help with stealing a data plan, scamming your way out of a contract and oh, did I mention stealing data????

Sorry, vacation here I come and I blame my hacked avatar

As was mentioned before, pay the ETF. That is the only legal and sensible method to exit a mobile telephony service contract.
