prorated etf

Hello all,

I have mixed emotions about this prorated etf that sprint now has. It is a great thing for someone who is willing to cancel early and they won't have to pay $200. i just have mixed feelings because i bought my phone 2 weeks before this all happened (nov 8 2008) and i'm stuck paying $200 to cancel my contract. does anyone think sprint will allow me to cancel under the prorated amount since i was only 2 weeks away from the change?

worth a try....

No matter when you activated service...Sprint is required, by law, to prorate the Early Termination Fee.

It actually wasn't their choice...they were forced to offer a policy like this after a lawsuit.

Ok. but when i call and ask about cancelling they tell me that i have to pay $200 for etf. is sprint just trying to get more money out of me?

Bring up the prorated policy...tell them you know about it.

If this doesn't work...request to speak with a supervisor.

If that doesn't work, then file a complaint at the Better Business Bureau and the FCC.

I'll give you a little hint . Sprint won't bind you to your contract and ETF if you are unable to get satisfactory signal or service where you live.
