FAQ on Service Contracts: What if I Want to Jump Cell Phone Ship?
Sunday May 18, 2008
About.com honeymoons guide Susan Breslow Sardone recently posed this question to me: “How can I make sure I cancel my expiring contract before they renew me but in enough time to switch to another carrier?”
Jumping cell phone ship isn’t always simple. Because your cell phone carrier has every incentive to make it as unattractive for you as possible, there are a number of considerations to ponder before making the leap.
These include early termination fees, contract expiration dates, whether your carrier automatically renews your contract or sends you into month-to-month land, the incentives to renew at your current carrier and even some of the strides new carriers will take to break you out of your existing contract.
If this question is on your mind, your first order of business ultimately is not to fret! Just follow this simple thought process and you’ll find yourself safe and happy at a new carrier.
