I have the Msg Bundle 400 AC $4.99. Am I eligable to cancel with no ETF?
My reception is horrible, in and around my home. I have called and complained around 6 times that I only have 1 or No bars, and that I consistently have dropped/failed calls even driving down the street where I live. They told me to fax a letter requesting to cancel and dispute the ETF and also fax a utility bill to them, so I did, and they are still not going to waive the ETF. I’ am really pissed off with T-mobile. We should all get togethor and file a suit against them for the breaching their contract, and for not providing sufficient reception coverage.

I have to admit, because she pointed it out to me in the terms and conditions, that I would not be affected by this. It pisses me off to no end, but she had a solid point.

Although, after explaining my situation, she suggested that I fraudulently call in and “forge” a Change of Responsibility because there would be no proof that the Primary Account Holder did NOT call in to make the changes to the account since I would be able to very the SSN.
This woman was obviously not blind to my situation, but simply upholding policy…

As to why you should get out … easy. You get out so that you can get a new phone at the new subscriber rate. You are out of contract and should get the best pricing available. Sell your old phone on eBay and enjoy the extra cash (or sell your new phone and stick with the one you have if you are happy). I’ve done this a few times and have made a few hundred bucks. It’s not much but every little bit helps. You could also switch to a different carrier (like Sprint) and join their SERO program (500 minutes, unlimited data on Rev A network, unlimited text = $30).

Anyway, T-Mobile is great if you don’t need data. I would only advocate breaking your contract in order to get a better device.

I signed a contract that has $0.15 a minute for texts. If they raise it, they are in breach of contract, allowing me to terminate it without paying the $200 ETF fee.
