In the U.S., it can be easier to end a marriage than to leave a loveless relationship with Verizon or T-Mobile. No, you don't have to move to SIM card swapping Europe. Try these guerrilla tactics to get out of your service contract. Steps

3. Get a lemon. Get a known problematic phone, complain 3 times, be let out of a contract due to your local lemon law.
No it Doesn't... it just gets you a new model of phone

5. Look for your provider to bury changes to Terms of Service with your bill. Quite often providers modify their service plans, much of the time the modification is a benefit. It doesn't matter, this voids the previous contract. Read the small print on those inserts included with your bill, it will spell out that you have 30 days (may vary on

There are three things in here that work. One, Moving out of area, but some will still throw the ETF at you. Two, Military Orders will get you out of contract. Three, outside roaming, which is getting hard to do, might as well move. As for death, well, all things are final in death. I don't think you Win in this case.

about that whole roaming thing. it states in the terms that if you are roaming more than 50% of the time, they will begin charging you .69 per min. its in black and white, we tell you to read it, if you dont then its not our problem.

buying a probalmatic phone? wow thats genius. not really....my ex went throught 6 moto Qs before they finally upgraded him to a Q9...they contract doesnt say that if your phone doesnt work properly you can leave.

this really irritates me because i hear people threatening this all the time. oh btw, i work for sprint...so yeah..lol

Oh no! You caught me! I secretly LOVE it when people read these articles and think they're correct. I simply dance with glee anytime I get a customer who escalates for no reason because they want something unreasonable. I spin and twirl around in utter joy when I get sworn and cussed at because the customer is trying to cheat the carrier.


I posted the link for those who can go to it.

I posted the whole article for those who can't.

Simple, right?

I just don't understand someone saying they hate when someone does something then proceeds to do the exact thing they hate.

Simple, right?

And somehow I get the felling you'd make snide comments about it no matter what was posted. If you don't like it, don't read it. 🙂

No, I just think it's asinine to do EXACTLY what you say you hate. It just doesn't reinforce your argument.
