chrisbell is such a moron
you provided 2 formsof id and accepted a credit check, you dont need to sign anything, plus if t mobile are honouring their T&C then you can not blame tthem for anything wrong.
best thing to do, find a freind that is happy to use the contract instead and pay the bills too

Yes if you pay the cancellation fee. It's $200 for T-Mobile in the states. Apparently in the UK it is your monthly rate times 12 months so if you are paying 15 quid a month your cancellation fee would be 180 pounds. Bummer!
Good luck with the loopholes. You would end up having to take the case through mandatory arbitration with them and their very well paid lawyers who deal with this day in and day out against you and then if it made it to court, you have already waived your right to a trial by jury. You would most certainly have to hire a lawyer if you were to have any chance and you would have to hope that the judge not only judged in your favour but awarded you court costs and legal fees. Fat chance of that happening! If you're on T-Mobile, you only have a 1 year contract, right? Convert to the lowest rate plan and ride it out. That's what I'd do. At least you'd be getting something for your money rather than just blowing the $200 for nothing.
Also, to the person who said they lock you in on day one, this isn't true. Most carriers have some sort of guarantee from 2 weeks to a month. On T-Mobile, you have 14 days to back out. Regardless of this, most state laws give you 3 days to back out of a legal binding contract.
To the guy who said about having to have a written contract. By using T-Mobile's network, you are in affect agreeing to all the terms and conditions set forth in the contract, whether you read and understood them or not. Every phone has this sticker on the box, inside the box and everywhere. Good luck getting around that one! If you were to never have used the phone once and returned it then perhaps you have a leg to stand on, but this person has had it for 2 months and I'm assuming used it in that time. If that's the case then sorry, you're SOL.

As you have already had your phone 2 months, you have already well and truly missed the standard 7-day get out clause that most mobile phone contracts have. Most mobile phones therefore expect you to stay the entire year, unless either you can prove that they are in breach of contract, or you are prepared to pay the line rental for the rest of the year to get out of the contract. In short though, it is technically possible to cancel a mobile phone contract

Hi...if you are in the UK, then yes...providing that when you took the contract out you 'did not' sign any paperwork.
Most contracts these days are done on a computer when you buy the phone and connection, ie your mobile contract.
Therefore what the phone companies don't realise that in a court of law, if a contract is 'not' signed then legally they do not have a leg to stand on if you want/wish to cancel your contract early.
Yes i do realise that a 'verbal' agreement is legally binding, and if the contract is done over the computer then you are agreeing to the small print...'but'...9 times out of 10 they never give you the opportunity to 'read' the full contract, so, they are not carrying out 'good' legal practise...and therefore that is why when mentioning to them...'where is my signature on this so called contract?'...then they tend to cancel it for you.
Mind you...if you 'have' signed a contract then you are stuffed, and the only way round it is to bargain with them.

I had a contract with Vodafone and they decided to put my plan up by £2 each month, more or less in the middle of a 12 month contract. I said to them that I was not prepared to pay as they were in breach of contract and they let me cancel with no penalty!

I think you can but you might have to pay a cancellation fee to breaking the contract. Might want to talk to T-Mobile first.

Usually each contract has a pro-rated buy out clause. If you have only had it for two months, you will probably pay a large buy out. They vary from $4.99 up to $14.99 per month for the amount of remaining months.

Yes, you can cancel it, but you will be charged a fee for backing out of the contract.
