Ugh. This might finally get me to leave T-mobile. I left ATT after a horrible experience and vowed to never go back. I am not happy.

I just moved to Verizon from T-mobile yesterday after frustration with T-mobile's service. And I loathe AT&T.

The nice thing about T-mobile is it is/was the only company which charges less if you didn't have a contract.

I have loved T-Mobile for the 5-odd years I've been on them, after terrible experiences with Sprint and AT&T. I'll be moving to Verizon, but I've heard plenty of horror stories about them, too, and I won't be able to take my GSM Nexus One with me, which is a crying shame.

Agreed. Do you think T-mobile will allow termination of contracts without a early termination fee? I'm guessing probably not, but I'd jump ship if I could avoid the fees.

If they change the TOS, you'll have a chance to jump for free.

See article seven of the CTIA's Consumer Code for Wireless Service (http://files.ctia.org/pdf/The_Code.pdf):

"Carriers will not modify the material terms of their subscribers’ contracts in a manner that is materially adverse to subscribers without ... allowing subscribers a time period of not less than 14 days to cancel their contracts with no early termination fee."
