Get Out Of Your Sprint Contract(no early termination fee)

Get Out Of Your Sprint Contract(no early termination fee)
Sup guys for those looking to get out of your sprint contract..dslreports.com has an article on just that.. hate to divert people of SPJ , but I found this could be very usefull to some.

(Taken from Dslreports article written by karl)

"Get Out Of Your Sprint Contract
Fee changes should void your contract

Yesterday we mentioned that Sprint was fiddling with some of the fees on your bill. Thanks to legal pressure from a lawsuit accusing them of misleading consumers with "unfees" -- or below the line charges dressed up as government-mandated fees. Sprint is renaming several of the fees, and it would appear that this technically constitutes a change in your contract allowing you to cancel service without an early termination fee:
Sprint's current policy as read by account services: "On Jan. 1st 2008 Sprint customers who have been affected by the fees will have their ETF waived if they wish to terminate their contract. There will be no post-dating of cancellation where the ETF will be waived as only customers affected by the new surcharges will be eligible."
So if you've been looking for a way to ditch Sprint without penalty -- you just got one."
