AT&T/Cingular Wireless Changing Of Contract early termination fee Internet, Nationwide

Dear Frustrated,

If you are currently under contract with AT&T, the early termination fee for that company was $175 per phone. The early termination fee for Cingular Wireless is $150 per phone.

Your only option to cancel without an early termination fee is if the equipment you are using is no longer working and AT&T no longer has the ability to upgrade your system. If you have, for example, a broken phone and are on an AT&T multi-phone plan, the company will not be able to replace your one phone. Cingular uses the GSM and AT&T did not.

If Cingular Wireless or any of its agents (phone stores or kiosk agents)have intervened and changed the terms and conditions of your original AT&T contract like forcing you to get new equipment (they call it "upgrading"), then there are NO penalty fees for ending the AT&T service.

Check the terms and conditions of both companies on the Internet prior to putting anything in writing. You must be specific with a reason and state the rememdy you are seeking.
