New Plan W/O Extending Contract

My boss said he would pay for my phone bill, but only if I got on the $99 unlimited plan cause of all the talking to go along with my new promotion. I called Customer Care and they said it would extend my contract for 2 years. I don't want to have to do that because my contract is up in less than a year. Not that I'm thinking of leaving or anything because I'm not, but I just want to keep things the way they are where the agreement is concerned.
My boss said that I can either upgrade to the new plan w/o extending my contract or just cancel it for both my lines and come over to Verizon where he has his business phone lines. That way he'll still pay, but it would be on his bill rather than me turning in a monthly expense report for my own bill.

Is there anyway- ANY WAY- possible that I can do this WITHOUT leaving T-Mobile cause I really like it and want to stay?
 
I wish there was an easy way out of that, but on the those rate plans the people that make policy set that up to try and make money, You could try talking to a Supervisor in Customer Service, and might be able to get an over ride. But as a Tech I can't speak to wheather it can for sure be done or not.
 
They might agree in order to keep your service. Is your boss going to pay your early termination fee too?

No. I would have to pay that and I definitely don't intend or even want to do that. I really want- and am pushing- for him to let me stay with TMO. I have never had any problems with their service and really like the phones.

All I want is to be upgraded to that Unlimited plan without a contract extension. That's all. Then he'll pay for it and I won't have to.

Hope this helps
 
I was able to change my plan without a contract extension ... I was told that they only require a contract extension if you're within 90 days of contract expiration. :S
 
might want to double check on this info.
i have a tmobile line that i changed plans after 2 months after starting a brand new contract and my contract was renewed for 2 years.
 
You shouldnt have to sign a new 2yr contract just for changing your plan T-Mobile got rid of that a while ago about the same time that ATT did. The only time it should restart your contract is if you are doing an upgrade.
 
You should have tried to get it changed without an extension, and if you couldn't do that, then get your boss to promise that he would pay the ETF if you had to switch after a year, since it's his fault that you had to extend.
 
A relevant case is in the Courts now [for Nextel... but T-Mo, Verizon etc will be coming up if they don't go along with the eventual ruling]:

A customer is arguing that under applicable law the early termination fee has to be pro-rated: E.g. if you are one year into a 2-year contract, it should be half
of the original $200, say.

The carriers of course are balking at this -- they even ran to Mama FCC asking
her to save them... but there is no lawful way for the FCC to regulate the issue. It is not a rate, and so it is under State, not Federal jurisdiction.

Even before a decision comes down, I urge you to make noise with your carrier
any time they try to charge you the full ETF. Do mention the above case... to a Supervisor... adding you are about to organize a customer revolt .

A Boston Tea Party for our times
 
I read that today about possibly pro-rating ETFs. I'm all for it. I also didn't know that individual states could regulate ETFs right now, maybe that's why it's $200 some places and $175 others. But $175 is still ridiculous.
