if any carrier wants to punish a subscriber for wanting to leave with a huge bill and ETFs then thats sad. there should be a law that if you're that unhappy and your service just sucks then you can leave and be done with them. not be forced to stick around. yea thats really gonna make someone want to come back one day. you want your precious phones back...here take them and take the ETF off since u monkeys say its done to cover the cost of the subsidized phones. now whats your excuse? blah blah blah, yea come on you tools post your recited scripts they taught you on here like the good monkeys that you are.

I agree, if you are unhappy you should be able to have a get out of jail free card. They should apply this to car leases too. Cars are getting junkier every day.

No one says you have to "pay" you bills/etf, your car lease, even you credit cards or mortage/rent... But if you don't then there is a penalty that everyone is aware of... You still have a choice in the matter. Where are the class actions on that?

Atleast Verizon gives you an out... If you are Military and have to go overseas, No ETF, If you die, No ETF, if you move out of the Verizon footprint, No ETF, If you live in a Technically deamed marginal coverage area, No ETF, You can do a billing responsible party change to someone that wants the service and still have No ETF.

Reason you get charged the ETF is you can't/won't pay your bills, you don't want the service anymore, You broke/damaged your phone and don't want to pay full retail, y...

The problem is that everything you said is true but people do not want to hear that. It is never their fault it is always the companies fault. Nobody wants to take responsibly for their actions.

So what you are saying is that you are mad at vzw because they will not let you out of your contract. You signed the signature pad for service you make calls every day if the service sucks that bad leave. go somewhere else, and do us all a favor and stop being such a baby. oh they locked the phone now i can't bluetooth my ringtones 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢

I'm by no means a Verizon fan.. but the ETF policy it and other carriers have is fair. Here is why.

In the US the ETF offsets the subsidy of the handset. You're saying terminate the service and give back the phone... and be done with it. Well, you can do that within 30 days with most carriers. You want to do it outside of that? Can you return that car you bought off the lot and get all your money back and no penalty? Of course not.

When you leave the store with that phone, that phone ceases to be "new". It can never be sold for "new" again and must either be returned to the manufacturer or refurbished. In both cases, a loss (though refurb is a bit more of a loss since you still have to sell it). If you come in and cancel after...

almost all carriers give you time to test service 30 days or more // you dont need more time to know if it fits your needs if you agreed the service after that i think is fair to be charged for ETF // always someone want to expire a subscription is for vanity more than any other reason
