AT&T updates its Early Termination Fees next month

by Mark Pascua on Apr 2, 2008 at 09:16 AM

It appears AT&T has heard the cries of consumers not wanting to be committed to a contract. Therefore, the company has announced that it is revamping their Early Termination Fee (ETF) policy beginning May 25th for new and renewing AT&T customers. Instead of paying the flat fee of $175 to drop out of their contract, the new policy will begin to prorate ETFs by $5 for each remaining month on the contract. So, if you’ve been eyeing that shiny new phone and have a few more months remaining, getting out of your current contract just got a whole lot sweeter.

The new policy change follows Verizon’s decision to being prorating their ETFs, which they began doing so back in 2006. Sprint and T-Mobile are said to follow suit.
