Re: FCC chief ready to regulate termination fees
I think carriers 'pro-rate' it now in the form of halved discounts on new phones on additional 2 year agreements 1 year through the first one. But still, yeah a month to month pro-rate would be excellent.

Re: FCC chief ready to regulate termination fees
To be fair, this is not ALWAYS the case. Multiple times through my history with Sprint they talked me into extending my contract for reasons NOT related to a new phone. 10% discounts, change in plans, etc. Point is, a subsidized phone is not ALWAYS relevant to each person's two-year-contract. Besides, we're not interested in losing the termination fee altogether. Pro-rating it is much more reasonable.

But I've been with Sprint for many years- they extend my contract every time I change plans or get some little discount. If I were to decide to terminate early, I don't think I'd see my 5% discount as a good trade-off for some $150 or more early termination fee. Good thing I'm not considering leaving them any time soon. Oops. I guess I should have read the rest of the posts before saying the same thing.

Re: FCC chief ready to regulate termination fees
I agree. But, the termination fee should be prorated to be considerate of the amount paid per month to date towards the "discounted" amount and considerate of the age of the contract.

Re: FCC chief ready to regulate termination fees
exactly. ppl don't think about from the right perspective. sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not. if there's a plan out there that will save them $50/mo or even $20, then just pay the $175. granted you don't have to spend $$$ on new phone(s).

Re: FCC chief ready to regulate termination fees
Thats some good news! I wonder who's getting a class-action lawsuit though... hahaha
Oh, and can anyone access google.com? They seems to be down... REALLY weird. Everything else works, but google is out? *shudders* Doesn't that violate some sort of fundemental law for the proper operation of the internet?
