check to see first before you decide to go to another carrier, it's worth it, use the few months you have with your current carrier to see if the service provider that you're interest in does really offer better coverage, and yes if you decide to cancel the service before the time is up not only will they charge you in some cases the service provider will wait and cancel the service at the end of your bill cycle, at least with t-mob they will cancel the service the same day

A non-scientific survey
Which cell-phone ser. provider has the best coverage in the State of Tn.
Am currently using Cingular, thinking about changing to Verizon. Would like to know what you think or what you may have experienced with Verizon or other carriers. Thanks, clay

Thanks 4 Eyes, good suggestion. I will put out some feelers on the subject.

I'm not quite sure about T-Mobile's coverage in east TN, but you are free to visit www.t-mobile.com and use the Personal Coverage Check tool. Type in the address of the area you would like to see, or just type in a city in general. It's a great tool that I use at work all the time. White areas are where T-Mobile will not have any coverage, which sucks to see but the Coverage Check tool saves those particular customers and me time because we both avoid a cancellation before it starts.

Tn coverage
Thanks RRODRIG30, I checked out T-mobiles url. Would be great if the other providers had such a site. T-Mobile is definitely not the one for me however.

No problem. I'm sorry to hear that T-Mobile will not work for you. However, I am glad that you used the Coverage Check Tool. It would have have been horrible if you had signed up without knowing T-Mobile will not work. This is why I like using the tool. Take it easy and best of luck finding a good cell provider.

"In FL, GA, SC, NC, KY, TN, MS, LA, AL, NY, and parts of IN and NJ an Early Termination Fee in the amount of $240 per device prorated over the term of your commitment may be assessed against you in the event that you terminate this contract before the expiration of its term."
So I don't know exactly what the prorated amount would be but they will charge you. Since you are as far as you are in your 2-year agreement it might not be that bad, but I would ask Cingular CS first.

Thanks, cseabourn, I did call cingular and was told there is a flat fee of $10 a month of the remaining contract, so $20 bucks ain't bad for a penalty. Pretty sure I'm going with Verizon this time. Right now I'm just trying to decide what phone to go with. Thanks again for the come-back, hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
