It's possible to break out of your Verizon Wireless contract in the next 60 days without paying an early termination fee because they're increasing the "regulatory fee" they charge customers from $.13 to $.16. This is what is known as a "materially adverse change of contract" and by standard contract law, it renders the contract void if one of the parties doesn't like the change.

Yes thanks. I read that on phandroid yesterday, have been thinking about it.

So a few questions if anyone has gone this route in the past:
What is the process to follow to do this? Do you just walk in and ask to be let out of your contract?
Are there any negative consequences if you decide in the future to go back to Verizon?
If you break the contract, can you remain with VZW until you purchase another phone/plan from someone else (Sprint)?
Dumb question. but if you do this can you sighn up for another 2 year contract for the discount on a new phone.

Breaking the ETF does not entitle you to an upgrade on your equipment. So basically you would have to start a new line of service if you do not have an upgrade. This means losing your current mobile number, and possibly paying additional activation fees/pro-ration on your next bill. If you do not care about losing your current mobile number, I say go for it.
The primary benefit I see in this is if you are already planning on switching carriers, and are currently under contract.
Monthly bill with verizion is getting too much for me especially since a lot of my family members are wishing to get smartphones.
This will be useful for me as I do not wish to pay 600 dollar to end the contract of 4 phones.
I did this yesterday. It took five minutes and was probably the easiest call I had with Verizon ever. I'm glad I don't have to give them another cent. I was told I wouldn't be able to continue paying month by month on the line but I'm not sure about signing another agreement. I wouldn't be surprised if they denied you.

Could you shed some lights on your conversation? eg how you started and what did they say?
Thanks
I called and went straight to retention (I can't remember if I called the usual customer support number or the 1-888 number on the bill but either way it shouldn't matter). A woman picked up and I said I'd like to cancel my cell service because of the increase in the Regulatory Charge. She asked if they were indeed raising the price so I read the "Notice of Change To Regulatory Charge" from my bill. She asked when I received notice of this and I told her it was on my current bill. She asked if there was anyone else I'd rather just transfer the line to, I said no. Somehow I ended up reading her the bold part from the second paragraph below. She asked me if I was planning on taking the number to a different carrier, I said yes. She told me the ETF would show up on my bill with a credit, the line was being disconnected (I assume at the end of the current billing cycle) and that I'd be unable to continue paying month by month on that line because of how I was canceling.
I don't recall her even talking to a supervisor. I had the following copied straight from the user agreement just in case though.
An hour later I left the Sprint store with my number, a $125 credit for leaving verizon and an HTC Evo 3D.
What Charges Are Set by Verizon Wireless?
You agree to pay all access, usage and other charges that you or the user of your wireless device incurred. For Postpay Service, our charges also include Federal Universal Service, Regulatory and Administrative Charges, and we may also include other charges related to our governmental costs. We set these charges; they aren't taxes, they aren't required by law, they are kept by us in whole or in part, and the amounts and what they pay for may change.
Can Verizon Wireless Change This Agreement or My Service?
We may change prices or any other term of your Service or this agreement at any time,but we'll provide notice first, including written notice if you have Postpay Service. If you use your Service after the change takes effect, that means you're accepting the change. If you're a Postpay customer and a change to your Plan or this agreement has a material adverse effect on you, you can cancel the line of Service that has been affected within 60 days of receiving the notice with no early termination fee.
anyone tried this and been able to open a new account with verizon for a new phone?
also, if I do that, any way I can keep my same number for an extra fee?

I highly doubt you could. Think about it: You're canceling your account completely due to the increase. Then you try to open a new account?

You could do this in a very roundabout way, particularly if you're not the primary line on a family plan.
If it's just you, they will make you wait at least 45 (that's what Sprint does) days (VZ could be 60 or even 75, I can't remember) days before you can sign up with them again.
If you want to save some $ and wait it out (when you come back in, you wouldn't be on unlimited, though), you could port your #(s) off to a prepaid carrier (Net10, TracFone, etc) and let it sit there while the waiting period runs out.
If you're planning on staying with Verizon, it's totally not worth it. If you've been looking to jump to Sprint (cheaper) or AT&T/T-Moble (LAWL), then it's a great time to do so.
Yeah, the only reason you should even consider doing this is if you'd been thinking about switching to Sprint at the end of your contract anyways (for the savings).
'Cause if you think Verizon is bad, just wait until you try AT&T or T-Mobile.
Looks like I am switching to sprint. OK to wait 2 weeks to do this, or will it be too late by then?

No competition there: the Epic 4G was meant to compete with the original Evo 4G and is thoroughly outclassed by the Evo 3D (single-core 1ghz vs. dual-core 1.2ghz, 512mb vs 1gb RAM, etc.).
The Nexus S 4G, while still a 1ghz single-core/512mb RAM device, is much newer, has some extras like NFC, and is a pure Google phone (read: instant updates) so it would be a far better second option.
Does anyone know if this took effect? I know it was scheduled for July 1st, but verizon may have found a way around it does anyone have the facts?
If I could somehow use this to get an upgrade without using my new every two upgrade, that'd be awesome. But I doubt it.

I saw a quick reference to this so I stopped by my local t-mobile store. Turns out all you need to do is get it added to your plan. From what I was told it isn't free unless you get it added. Also it doesn't change your contract (ie extending it).

Yup, this started kind of quietly around May 13. You can do it through T-Mobile Chat online easily as long as your plan qualifies.
In order for it to work though, you MUST be on one of the newer Even More plans.

I was looking at my account today, and realizing that between my wife and I we use VERY FEW minutes altogether.
The overwhelming majority, and I am talking about 90-95% of our calls are either off-peak or mobile to mobile.
What I am wondering is what is the best way for me to go about lowering this bill. We have 1500 minutes, plus all the unlimited stuff Sprint offers.
I want to keep the unlimited Data, but am not terribly concerned about anything else.
Ideas? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated aside from calling me names and questioning my humanity
I'm not a Sprint employee (soon to be one), but I have found that the 1500 minute plan is the cheapest plan that includes the mobile to mobile talk (I looked into this a few weeks back for myself) and found that there's not really any other options. There is no plan less than 1500 minutes that includes data and text.

I work for Sprint corporate and I hate to say it, but the $129.99 Shared Everything Data Plan 1500 Minute one is the lowest plan you may have if you have one or more smartphones or one of the 3 Samsung Instinct Series devices on your wireless account with us. If you don't already have an NVP discount on it, you may wish to stop by one of our retail stores to inquire on how you may qualify for one of these discounts.

Yeah, you can get any corporate discount without having to sign a new contract. You should be able to do it through your employer (or where ever you get your discount from) and it will take effect without a new contract.
All else fails...call Sprint and have them work it out.
I've got a Citibank discount of 27% off, but it's only on the main line and my bill is still $178/month on 1500 minute shared. (I have 4 lines total.)
So I got the S4 today at the Sprint store so I had to pay 100$ deposit and and I got 100$ off for using my Prepaid T-Mobile Account and he switched my number over but I didn't want him to do that I told him but he did it so now my T-Mobile account is deactivated and it was activated until June1 and I had 27$ on my account but now it's deactivated but I still need that account and now my number got switched to Sprint so how can I recover my T-Mobile Account and balance and all? Please help if you knew what to do

porting a number usually requires a fair bit of info about the account. why did you tell him your tmobile password/pin when you were saying you didn't want it ported? either way tmobile prepaid bases teh account off your number, since your number isnt there anymore neither is your account. and you remove that number and you are gunna face issues with sprint (the 100 dollar discount being one of them).
my suggestion, eat the 27 bucks loss and consider it a life experience

Funny you are wrong. Sprint has 4g, as well. I have excellent 4g. When my 4g is unavailable, my 3g is not 'slow.' Almost everything depends on the location. Location, location, location. I wouldn't base your speed & area's "3g/4g" without knowing where they are & their speeds. Sprint's upgrading their towers & they are popping up here & there. There's a whole thread going on about it. Look for it & do some research. Contract or no contract, they switched for personal reasons.

Anyway, I'm not sure why you gave them your TMO pin & info if you didn't want it the phone number ported. Sounds like the rep got the "Spint Customer Service script" wrong or you misunderstood him. Definitely call customer service, asap. I had to jump through hoops to get my S4 situated for other reasons. Call them & call them & call them until you get your answer(s) & it's solved.
T-mobile told me that I'll have to call Sprint and tell them I didn't want that number transferred and that I need a new number then when they change it I can get my tmobile account back. Will this really work?

Yeah T Mobile doesn't have a contract but to offset it you pay full price for your phones now. Ex. The S4 is $149.99 down and $20 a month for 24 months which equals $630( regular price for device). So in essence there's no "plan contract" but there is a "phone contract" which costs just about as much as an early termination fee thus keeping you locked in for 2 years. The good thing is you can upgrade whenever a new device comes out but the bad thing is you have to pay off the balance on the current device and then you can start the payment plan all over again. That's basically paying your early termination fee on any other carrier to fulfill your current contract so you can a start a new one. No thanks T Mobile. I'll pass.
So I should definitely be able to get my TMobile Account and everything back for sure?

The rumors is that T-mobile will pay the early termination fees (ETF) on your current contract phone from other carriers and break your current contract with them. It depends if you are in a contract and how much the ETF is.
I'm thinking this can be abused, since what if you sign up for a different carrier, get a discounted phone, then after a month, switch to t-mobile and not worry about the penalty (ETF).

Plus I have a Moto X that's AT&T unlocked, but I also have a Verizon one that should be unlocked as well. Now just figuring out which T-Mobile plan is for me!
This would mostly help with family plans. 4 phones unlimited talk, text, and internet. 500mb of it high speed, $100. Would save me a bunch.

T-Mobile doesn't have contracts anymore. It will be interesting to see how they deal with the potential abuse here.
For now, this deal is just a rumor, though, so any speculation is premature.
Now, AT&T is offering the same promotion:

How does this work? They tell you to switch from T-Mobile and get $200 "Switchers Bill Credit" before your third bill from AT&T. Then they say trade in your phone for up to $250.
Ok, well I answered my second question by actually typing this out. I was gunna ask why not just get a crappy spare phone you have lying around and trade it in for $250. They use "up to $250" so that answers that. They'd just give you a dollar or something. On to the first question: Will they enforce that you have to be coming from T-Mobile? If so, will they just make you produce a recent T-Mo bill? What would happen if you just kept "switching to them" then producing the same bill as proof?
And as you pointed out, what would prevent someone from just switching between the two a bunch and getting a bunch of money? Actually, maybe that part about getting your Switcher Credit "on or before your third AT&T Wireless bill" is how they're going to prevent that. If you're not with them anymore, they won't send you that, basically making you stay with them for at least 3 months.

It's basically what T-Mobile did for business credits you have to port your number from said service provider and you don't get your credit til the 4th bill. The T-Mobile deal is only for family plans with 350$ or less in etf .

I read somewhere it has to be a 3+ line family plan too. I'm curious to see how this pans out as I have two lines (family plan) and was strongly considering going switching to TMO as with my wife's work discount it comes out to be cheaper than Verizon (with her discount) and T-Mobile seems rather good on having the phones we want nowadays.

Not 100% yet but likely..
There's more to it. You have trade in your phones, port your numbers and buy new phones. Now you may qualify for zero down, but you still have to pay the taxes up front and possibly $10 for each SIM card.

I called T-Mobile and you have to trade in your phone and buy theirs. The trade in value is low and new phone price is high.

I agree, depending on the number of lines wink also affect your upfront cost never you have to pay the taxes up front.

Therefore it makes more sense to pay your etf by yourself and bring your phone and join the no contract plan or prepaid. Saves more money if that's your goal.
