Is there any way possible that I can get out of my verizon contract WITHOUT paying the ending termination fee? I have 14 months left, and I hate all those ridiculous sur charges and taxes, and expensive data plans for the type of phone I have, which is the Samsung Intensity. I want to switch to Walmart's calling card service called Straight Talk. You can buy unlimited texts, minutes, and internet for $45 a month, and you don't have all of those bs extra service fees or sur charges on it, and it is not under a contract. A buddy of mine has it, and he says it works great, and I've used it before, so I know it works great. They also have a $30 card for 1000 texts and 1000 minutes. All you gotta do is keep renewing your card monthly, and it's a lot cheaper than Verizon. I was thinking I could look on Verizon's coverage map where they show all the areas in the United States that offer their service. In a lot of the states, there are some cities and towns, where Verizon is not in the coverage zone, and I was going to tell them that I am moving to one of those towns to live with a family member. Will that even work? There has got to be some way or loop hole to get around the contract with out paying the ETF? I just think cell phone contracts are ridiculous because the customer is always right, and they shouldn't have to pay all that much money. Any information will be helpful, thanks.
I gotta pay off my previous due balance first, which I have made arrangements with the financial department because it's hard to keep up with the ridiculous charges they give you. I just don't want to pay the $150 termination fee at all because that is ridiculous. If you don't like a phone company than you shouldn't have to pay to get out of it. The total termination fee is like $175, but I got 14 months left, so the price has gone down a little.
I do have reception problems, but won't they just tell me I can switch phones or something, how can I tell them I have reception problems.
@ Alex, I have been with Verizon for so long since back when they were Alltel, and now that they have these calling card services like Straight Talk now days, that's why I want to switch. I've helped out Verizon long enough.
