This is incorrect. Theyre instituting a fee (or announcing it) on Sept 1st.
Some kind of regulatory fee increase.

Its a change, and you SHOULD be able to break contract. They have like a 15/30
day window for stuff like that.

Check the archvies of this group, and you should find mention of it. Its a way out.

Since a regulatory fee increase is beyond their control I doubt it could
be cited as a reason to break the contract.

It's an administrative fee and they clearly state in the contract that
fees are subject to change.

Good point. How about the recent change of the "holiday timing"? I was
surprised when they eliminated holiday rates (free) and instead you're on
time of day, day of week rates.

Actually, Verizon has taken pains to note that it's a $.40
"Administrative" fee, and is not a tax or regulatory fee.

E-mail fudged to thwart spammers.
Transpose the c's and a's in my e-mail address to reply.

You have hit on the "one" secret of disconnecting verizon service; if you
legitimately have moved to an area that 1) doesn't have vzw service, or 2)
is served poorly as "extended", not verizon owned towers.

We have 100% success, and so will you (maybe, or at least worth a try), if
you can provide a Supervisor (it seems it takes that level) with your new
address, and they can confirm that the service doesn't work where you've
moved.

1) call and tell them how much you love the service, but have a problem
2) you've moved to a new location; here is my address, and the service
doesn't work
3) no, I'm sorry, but I don't have anybody to take over my service for x
months.
4) may ask for some mail, utility, something to "verify" your new address
5) ask to be released early, without penalty, in the hope that in the future
they will have service in the area, because you've enjoyed your VZW
experience (blah, blah, blah)

When we could verify for the customer that the new bill address did NOT have
service, we were 100% successful with folks being able to leave their
contract. Works equally well with Sprint. The "key" is 1) it should be
true, 2) you need to prove it, 3) don't yell, or it will never happen. Your
personal mileage may vary. This isn't a cancel for convenience... there is
no obligation to let you out of the contract... but you could just get
lucky. dr

My brother-in-law was able to get out of his Sprint contract with no
problems when he moved to California City, a rural area up near Edwards AFB.
I didn't ask him whether they needed docs or not. Sprint doesn't service Cal
City.

I'm sure that Larry or Xman can help you out here.
Larry claims that VZW has never *forced* anyone to
pay the ETF.

VZW only waives the ETF if you move to a congressional district with
24,000 people in it and where GPS satellites orbit a mere 200 miles
overhead.

Whatever happened to the good old days when the price of the
item was intended to cover the cost of doing business? Maybe
they figure if ebay sellers can charge ridiculous "shipping and
handling" fees that actually cover the ebay fees, they can add
their own version.

Bill

Kill yourself...then you personally won't have to pay at all. Verizon will
hunt your family down though to pay....trust me.

In the good old days prices NEVER went up?
