Get out of contract without ETF?

[condemned]

Did my research and found out its not worth the switch especially since we have coverage. With Verizon, we would be paying $120-$150 more than we are now. And that's with 2gb of data. We have 5gb of data for $30 which is $50 on Verizon.

Not worth it. Were stickin with Tmobile!

Pay the ETF. Sell the phones. That is your way out.

Also, depending on your carrier, sometimes they will send out amendments they have made to the TOA. The carrier will then give you until your next bill to decide whether you agree to the new terms. If you don't agree, then you can choose to terminate your service without an etf. However, I think the catch is that the carrier has to make changes to material parts of the TOA.

Good point. These 'material parts' differ from carrier to carrier. Last I checked, T-mobile's verbiage makes it so that if they raise some fees, you are not able to cancel your contract. However, Verizon's contracts weren't (and maybe still aren't) like that. Recently, Big Red decided to raise some obscure fee by like $0.01-$0.05 per month, and when people found out, they started claiming it as a "significant and material change" which should allow them to get out of contract.

The point is, request a copy of the contract terms, read them carefully to see if TMO isn't fulfilling some part of it to the extent they're required to. Some issues with 4G coverage may not cut it, unless the contract guarantees full 4G coverage 100% of the time, but something else might work for you. Certainly cheaper than forking over $1000.

Nevermind. It would cost us $120-$150 before taxes for the same plans we have now on Verizon. In addition, we would also be getting 2gb of data instead of 5gb for the $30 price.

Were sticking with Tmobile. No coverage issues so not worth the switch.
