Any creative ideas about getting out of cell phone contract?

[Krankenstein]

Ok....heres the deal....I have Sprint (HUGE MISTAKE)....and I am sick and tired of the dropped calls, undelivered text messages, late voice mail, pathetic customer service, etc.  I am locked in for another 18 mos. and it will cost $400 ($200 per line) to end my contract with them.  Anyone have any ideas on how to get them to let me out of my contract early or at least with a reduction in termination fee?

You are probably going to pay that same amount or more in the end if you tally up the monthly bills. You'd probably be better off paying the fee and getting with Verizon.

yes call customer service, everyday, and explain new details to them of why you need out, and what your contract should entitle, also ask questions just mundane. It costs them more to answer the phone then to have you as a customer- in short.

Tell them you have a brain tumor and can't use a cell phone anymore

call either Federal Trade Commission or the Better Business Bureau, or the fcc.. if you are in fact having trouble with your phone -they will tell your provider to drop you..
-if you move you can get out of it
-if they changed any detail in your contract, like any changes in your service at all, you can get out.
-ask them to send you a copy of your contract.. if they dont have it you can get out

contracts are very simple to get out of.. just call one of those places and it will show you have bad service.. even the threat of it, sprint will let you go

no gov agency can do anything about a contract.
read the fine print they have the quhority to change your contract, the authority to re authorize it, and moving does not make a contract null your obligation to move has no bearings on a contract you entered into, unless your moving overseas and don't care about your credit.

Look just call customer service over and over, they file your number on a "complain" "hot" list, and issue it to a supervisor who reviews the total amount of time you called and how much time you took to be taken care of, and it's get taken in a SS chart and they begin to ompute how much money you cost the company by calling their CS, they drop you.
People that call on ag of 18x a month (yes people call to ask questions, just like how can I enter a speed dial on my phone) and they drop their ass.

This is what I plan on doing.  I am going to call and tell them every time I drop a call, have a text not go through, have a voice mail be late, lose signal, etc.  I will be assured that they will drop me!!!
