if i recall correctly, it used to be the case that if a cell phone provider made major changes to an individual's contract (at least in california), one had a small window to terminate the contract without the termination fee (or with a reduced termination fee).
am i mis-remembering this or does anyone know if this is still the case?
- blario 15y agoThat sounds correct. I used this before in Washington, DC when I was a Verizon subscriber. I cannot remember what Verizon changed at the time... It might have been the price on text messages. I did the same with Sprint when I changed to an iPhone in 2009 also. I'm very interested to know if this applies here. I've been LOOKING for a free way to switch from AT&T to Straight Talk!
- TheCapn 15y agoRegardless if it is still law I imagine you could get out of the contract in the event they pulled this. Contract Law is pretty clear on what is allowed within contract negotiation and having one party modify the contract agreement (regardless of the B.S. clause of modifications can occur without consent) is typically not widely accepted. Having said that your contract with the ISP is worth roughly $500 or more depending on when you entered the contract. If you started to lean on them with a "legal" threat of contract termination and taking it to the courts blah blah blah they'll most likely voluntarily terminate the contract because its not worth their time/effort.
