can i get out of my cell phone contract?

Question

i have a 2 year contract with Cingular, i still have 15 months left
i never cashed in on my rebate
and i have a family plan with 2 phones

Answer 1

Yeah, but it usually comes with a penalty. Check the contract, you may have to pay something like half the price of the remaining 2 years.

Answer 2

Cingular sucks.

My GF and I just moved to an area that has no Cingular service what so ever.

For some reason they let her out of her contract without applying the early termination fee. Me on the other hand, after spending an hour and a half on the phone with them telling them my situation and whatnot, they gave two options. Either I get someone to take over my account or they'd charge me the early termination fee (even though they couldn't offer me a service). They did end up "prorating" the early termination fee down to $75. We had seperate accounts.

I personally wasn't very impressed with singular the whole time I had them. I had ATT wireless before, and the coverage and customer service was much, much better. I moved from North County San Diego, and Cingular coverage was very mediocre there.

I was told this was because there were like seven ATT towers that were surrounding our area, but because Cingular never activated them, my coverage when from decent to complete crap.

I recommend avoiding Cingular.

Answer 3

yes you can get out of your cellular contract and they probably will not give you your rebate and take it out of your charge to get each of your 2 phones deactivated i do not like cingular wireless one bit and i do sort of recommend verizon but not much higher than cingular

Answer 4

Yes you can but you are going to have to pay a penalty for ending your contract early.
