So I am wondering if anybody can answer a question for me, preferably somebody that works with AT&T. So if I am a new customer using AT&Ts promo and trade in a iphone 4 to get an Iphone 6 under contract and cancel the same day or the next will I have to pay the more than the activation fee and ETF or will I also need to pay the first months bill as well or is it prorated and I would only have to pay based on a percentage of the month being a day or two. Also does anybody know if T-Mobile will buy out the contract that soon? Devious, probably. Tough times.

Thanks

Here is what it says in their TOS:

Within the first 14 days after service activation, you may terminate your Agreement for any reason and not be required to pay an ETF. If you terminate within three (3) days of accepting the Agreement, AT&T will refund your activation fee, if any. However, you agree to pay AT&T for all fees, charges, and other amounts incurred and owed under your Agreement, and you agree to return to AT&T any Equipment you purchased from AT&T in connection with your Service Commitment. If you fail to return this Equipment, you will be charged the difference between the amount you paid AT&T for the Equipment and the amount you would have been charged for the Equipment had you not agreed to a Service Commitment. AT&T also may charge you a restocking fee for any returned Equipment. Some dealers may impose additional fees.

After the first 14 days, you may terminate your Agreement for any reason. However, you agree to pay AT&T for all fees, charges, and other amounts incurred and owed under your Agreement along with the applicable ETF. The Early Termination Fee is either: (a) $325 or (b) $150. The ETF reduces each full month of your Service Commitment that you complete. To determine whether your Equipment has a $325 Early Termination Fee or a $150 Early Termination Fee, and the amount of reduction, check att.com/equipmentETF.

After your Service Commitment ends and you are on a month-to-month Agreement, you may terminate your Agreement at any time with 30 days notice without incurring an ETF. If you sign a new Agreement before the end of the term of your existing Agreement and terminate that new Agreement within 14 days as allowed above, you agree that you will be bound by the terms and conditions of your existing Agreement including fulfillment of any remaining Service Commitment thereunder.

From LegalTerms


So basically, they would charge you the full price for the phone if you cancel before 14 days and don't return it. After you pay the full ETF plus, I'm assuming, the prorated amount for your service + other 'fees' that are probably whatever they want.
