Get out of your sprint contract early with no ETF (AZ, DC, HI, MO, NE, NM, NY, PA, SD, RI, VA & WA)
I hope this helps some people...
From my latest Sprint bill:
"Surcharge Changes
Due to tax changes, customers in the following states will see a small increase in some Sprint Surcharges including, but not limited to, Gross Receipt Charges: AZ, DC, HI, MO, NE, NM, NY, PA, SD, RI, VA & WA. For details, see sprint.com/taxesandfees."
I have a family plan with 5 lines and varying contracts on them, but wanted to cancel 2 of them for personal reasons (contracts set to expire 10/2012). After noticing the above change on my latest bill, I decided to try and use the "material change" clause in the contract to get out of paying the ETF. I called and gave my version of the below script and was assured the lines would be cancelled effective April 4th (the end of my billing cycle) and the ETF would be waived.
sample script:
“Hello. I’m calling about my current contract with Sprint and the increase in Sprint surcharges I read about in my [month, year] bill. The latest Terms & Conditions contract I signed with Sprint was in [year], and under that contract, it specifically states that as a Sprint customer, I have the right to terminate my contract without paying an early termination fee in the event that Sprint makes a material change to its agreement with me, and so long as I notify Sprint of my desire to do so within 30 days of such a change. This Sprint surcharge increase constitutes a material change to the Terms & Conditions agreement I signed, and therefore, I would like to exercise my right under the agreement to terminate my contract without any early termination fee.”
