Cell phone advice - NYC

Hi guys. I was wondering if you guys knew anyone who could help me out with a cell phone issue...

Long story short I have two lines on Verizon Wireless that I want to cancel because I am switching to Cingular. Only problem is they are both in contract (one is my line, and then there is a 2nd line for $9.99/month... this counts as two seperate lines to cancel, or just one contract?). Price per line to cancel early is $175. So I'll be out $350.

Anyone know how I can get out of that? Maybe even get a reduced penalty?

Thanks guys,
Keith

Your gonna have to pay the $350. Only on very rare occasions have I seen anybody get out of their contract early without paying the full termination fee. I used to work for Cingular and would have hooked you up with something nice like a sponsorship plan or something (hooked fr0st up) but I quit last weekend because that company has their fucking heads up their asses....they promised me a cost of living raise when I moved to NYC from Pittsburgh and it's been three months and I haven't seen shit. Finally they told me since nothing was on paper that they couldn't do anything for me. I was going to transfer about a year ago to DC and my raise kicked in automatically but that's when I was still working for AT&T. Now that Cingular bought out AT&T everybody that was on the AT&T side are getting fucked hard....commissions are shit now, they are fucking with pay and benefits....pretty much pushing people out the door without firing them. The only people that are not quiting are the low lifes that can't find a better job......and that isn't me so fuck em!!!


Oh yeah: Just to give you a little idea how hard it is to get out of contracts. I had a lady come into Cingular and she had service with Verizon and her phone did not work in her new house. Her mother had cancer and she needed her cell phone to work everywhere that she was. So I put her on the phone with their customer care department and they wouldn't do shit for her. They told her to get a land line through Verizon. LOL

yep which is why i NEVER get two yr contracts. ONE YEAR ONLY for me. I always end up HATING my service provider toward the end...so far my service with Cingular is ok...but NOT the greatest. well i love my Sony Ericsson s700i though. im soo glad i can opt out after a year if i want to...

verizon has the best service i guess but i dont like the fones


it sucks about that ladys situation though. shiett.

hmm so vtec what are you going to do now that u quit?

+1

bluetooth is offered most Smartphones these days so i would hardly call that an option.

bad customer service and fuckin wid my bill is enough for me to leave ANY provider.
