will verizon buy out another cell contract?

My boyfriend has Helio and we have had nothing but problems with the service and phone. I have verizon and want to add a line onto my plan but am wondering, will verizon wireless buy out the rest of his service contract so he doesn't have to pay the termination fee?

The only company I knew that did that was Helio, that was before the got bought out by Virgin Mobile USA, So, probably not, but you can always ask, just don't hope for a yes...

Verizon does not buy out contracts. They'll probably tell you that their better network is worth the ETF to get there.

Are you stuck in a cell phone contract? Have you been told that it will cost you $175.00 per line to terminate your agreement?
Good news. You CAN get out of your cell phone agreement, legally and easily.
I’ll explain two ways:

First, the Material Adverse Clause is a little known part of your cell phone agreement that essentially states that should any terms or conditions change following your signing of the contract, you have a right to terminate without having to pay any Early Termination Fee (ETF).
When you receive your bill each month it includes information regarding any changes, including rate changes, tax changes, etc. None of these changes were present at the time you signed your agreement.
Here’s what to do:
Call your provider and politely but immediately ask to speak to a supervisor (this is a good practise whenever you have a concern and need to contact a company). Refer to your saved bills when speaking with the supervisor and use the term Material Adverse Clause specifically, and refer to the the changes that have occurred in your contract. Tell him/her that you want to cancel your agreement.
That should be the end of it right there, but should you receive any pushback, remind the supervisor of the Material Adverse Clause and the specific changes in your contract and that should put a quick end to any challenge.
The second way you can get out of your cell phone agreement, abiet not as fullproof, is by documenting legitimate dead spots when making calls. When you discover a dead spot, the trick to continue making calls you know will drop moments later. You want to accumulate a high number of dropped calls because when you call customer service, and ask to speak to a supervisor, they will have the ability to view your calls and will see that the percentage of dropped calls in relation to total calls made is in fact very high
