can I cancel contract with AT&T ?

[Miger97]

I have iPhone never activated since few months.

If I activated it now with AT&T, I suppose for 2-year contract, what if lose my iPhone and I need to cancel the contract. Possible ? Any penalty ?

If there is a contract, there will always be an early termination fee. Otherwise, there would be no point for the contract. If you did want to cancel if you lost your phone, it would be 200.00, but you could always replace the phone, even if it isnt an iphone, and fulfill your contract.

No way around the early termination fee. Like she said, you could always get another phone of any kind to fulfill the contract.

after reading it a few times I still think all you need to know is any company will charge you a fee if you break the 2 yr contract

Can look forward to this, if the bill passes.

Im sure that if it does pass, the companies will still find a way to make the contract-option far more desirable

The proposed bill looks pretty iron clad. However, all bills usually look that way but contain many loop holes/drawbacks.

I agree. If this bill does pass, I still think we won't be any better off. On the other side, these cell phone co. pump alot of money into Washington thru lobbyist so it may have a tough time passing.
