With who were you able to cancel and not have to pay out the full? I'm not the parent, but I recently cancelled my iPhone 4S contract with Telstra so I could upgrade to a 5. The cancellation fee was Mobile Repayment Option (MRO) * months remaining; it worked out to about $340 with 12 months remaining for me. This was the motivating factor for upgrading early; I sold my 4S for more than it cost to break contract.
