So does it mean you can cancel contract without ETF? since they are changing something.

I've been in the CDMA world for several years but doesnt it only take a swap of a sim card to get a new phone? how can tmobile get away with this?

If you buy your phone discounted through them you pay a fee. You don't have to go through T-Mobile to get your phone, they arn't forcing you to do anything.

you pay for the phone over a period of two years thats why a contract is put into place it is just a way for them to "make money"and it works theyll make a killin again . they removed if found out holy shit we were making a shit ton of money off this we'd better put it back ?theredically its the jenga block of theyr company it may not be the one to make the company fall put its sure is helping

lmao You want me to pay a fee to you for signing another 2 year agreement and sticking with your absolutely horrid and lowest rated cell phone service? And you got to pay for the phone with nothing other than the 2 year promotional pricing as an offering? No "New Every 2"?? Greedy and backwards....those 18 bucks will run Mom and Pop to Verizon and have them sign up there instead. Great job in increasing your churn T MO MO. BB Storm FTW

Every carrier I've ever been with has an upgrade fee. Don't listen to morons who rant and rave like Godfather. YOUR MOM FTW

VZW does not have any upgrade fee at all unless you upgrade prior to 20 months into your contract. Don't listen to morons who don't have a clue like *HOVA*

It's $20 Early Upgrade fee (after 12 months, but prior to upgrade date), also Restocking Fee of $35 if you exchange equipment during 30 days for non-deffective reasons...other than that, no, fee to upgrade, and only VZW has the New Every 2 equipment discount program, or so I've been told...

I agree why should you pay for signing 2 more years and typically if you get another contract and phone form wirefly or letstalk you get better deal on phone, rebate etc. Caveat is you have to sign up fro new number and there is activation fee but I have tried in past if you call with in 14 day window and threaten them to cancel for no specific reason say you want to try AT&T they will waive activation fee.

I will say that T-mobile is backed by int'l giant Deutch Telecom, don't see them falling anytime soon, $18 fee or not....waiting for them to announce purchase of Sprint personally

I've heard they are reinstating the $18 upgrade fee for every dealer/retailer except Wal-mart. Their phone prices are really good too even though their selection sucks!
