Hurry! SPRINT / NEXTEL customers continue to get Early Termination Fees waived.
It's a great day when you can turn the tables on your cell phone carrier. Thousands of visits to my post on January 2, have resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in waived Early Termination Fees (ETFs). Don't be left out, you have less than a week to use the MATERIAL CHANGE clause in your contract to avoid the dreaded ETF. Your window to cancel expires January 31. When talking to Sprint or Nextel, remember to stick to fact that there was a MATERIAL CHANGE in the contract when Sprint added the Administrative Charge and the Regulatory Charge.
Most of all stay calm, but relentless, when you stick it to the man. Keep your comments coming.

Well I dont know if anyone
Well I dont know if anyone else has this problem but I was told I could get out of my service without ETF. and I even called back a couple days later to verify and was told all is well. I just received my last bill and it has an ETF on it. On the bill it says this. "Explanation of Certain Account Summary
Provisions (page 3):
Sprint Surcharges: Rates we choose to collect
from you to help defray costs imposed on us.
Surcharges are not taxes or amounts we are
required to collect from you by law. Surcharges
may include: Federal USF, regulatory charges,
administrative charges, gross receipts charges,
and other charges incurred to recover costs
associated with governmental programs. The
amounts, and the components used to calculate
Surcharge amounts, are subject to change.
Government Fees and Taxes: Taxes and fees
Sprint is required to collect from customers on
behalf of the government."
I am ready to do battle again with customer service but I wanted to see if anyone had this happen to them.
surcharges
Yes, I just opened my bill and there are surcharges in the amount of $5.08 for the month. I'm no sure how long this has been going on since I have had the contract a year now. I am beginning to go over my bills with a fine tooth comb because I have had tons of problems with Sprint since I began a year ago. I can not wait to get out of this contract. I took the $59.99 contrat and I am being charged $122.19 this month. That's the lowest it has been since I began a year ago. What an absolute rip off, not to mention the service is one of the worst I have had yet.
