Hey there! Want to get out of Verizon Wireless contract withou paying the 175 dollar Early Termination Fee? Here is your chance!
Verizon is raising one of their charges from 70 cents to 85 cents per month. It's some dinky charge, but use it to your advantage and get out now! Anytime they raise their fees you have 60 days to opt out. It's in the Customer Agreement (You can view it on their website. Just click on the "Customer Agreement" link on the bottom of the page. It's in the paragraph called "Our Rights to Make Changes" about a third of the way down)
Just call them, tell them that you heard they are raising the Monthly Administrative Charge from .70 to .85 and you would like to opt out as the Customer Agreement agreement lets you do.
It may take time, but be persistent. Just tell them you would like to cancel and that you have the right to.
Go for it. It worked for me. It took 52 minutes, but it was well worth the time.
I am also porting out to sprint. To do this you have to leave the account open. Just tell the supervisor that you want it open, but that he should note the account that when the port goes through the ETF should be waived.
He gave me his phone nuraber and name in case any issues come up and the ETF does get charged
I quoted the relevant terms so you can reference them:
Taxes, Surcharges and Fees
Tolls, taxes, surcharges and other fees, such as E911 and gross receipt charges, vary by market and as of January 1, 2008, add between 4% and 35% to your monthly bill and are in addition to your monthly access fees and airtime charges.
Monthly Federal Universal Service Charge on interstate & international telecom charges (varies quarterly based on FCC rate) is 11.3% per line.
The Verizon Wireless monthly Regulatory Charge is 7
