Canceling service without paying eft for no service area

I have called to cancel my cell phone service but was told needed to pay an early termination fee of $140.00. I explained to the customer service agent that I was speaking to that I do not get any service on my cell phone in which I work. I get horrible service at my home and absolutely none outside of my home. I am a police officer and patrol through several counties and my cell phone is my life line. I had to get an AT&T cell phone due to the fact that it is the only coverage in my Area. I don't want to pay this ridiculous fee. The contract is up in march of 2014 which is less than 3 months away. Can I just cancel without paying an early termination fee.

Why now?  If the service is so terrible - why wait until 21 months into the contract before deciding to cancel?  And if the phone is so vital to your job, doesn't the police department provide you with a reliable device?
The short answer to your questions is no, you can't cancel without paying the ETF.  Which is more cost effective?  Keep the line for three more months, or pay the $140? Is the bill more than $50 a month?

  • How do I upgrade my MacBook Air with the same IOS as my iMac without paying twice for it?

    Hello! I have a question concerning IOS 7 upgrade for my MacBook Air which I have already on my iMac. Know it must be possible  without paying twice for it, but I have forgotten how? Can anyone help?

    iOS is the operating system for iPhones, iPads, etc.
    Mac OS is the operating system for Mac computers.
    Which version of Mac OS are you running on your iMac? (You're not running iOS6 on it.)
    If you purchased that OS from the app store, then you can download it to as many computers as you own or control (including your Macbook Air). However, if your iMac came preinstalled with the current OS, then the license is only good for that computer and you must buy it for any other computer.

    Was the content not synced with a computer previously?  If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer.

  • Downloading WMV without paying Microsoft for Flip 4 Mac Pro

    I am trying desperately to view portions of a several-hour city council meeting that's only supplied in WMV, but I have to pay Microsoft $49 for Flip4Mac viewer pro if I want to skip the streaming and just download the video.
    Is there any way (hack) to bypass this? (the city's streaming window won't allow any fast forward or skipping ahead !!!!!!!!!!
    Please help.

    I don't see why you'd need any of the paid versions of the Flip4Mac codecs to view or download any WMV content. The paid versions give you the ability to import WMV video into QuickTime for conversion to another format such as h.264 (the $29 version) and export a QT movie as WMV (the $49 version). I don't see anything regarding any ability to download a WMV, though it's possible that I've missed something.
    Can you post a URL to the video? If it is a true stream, then downloading isn't possible since the video is never completely on your system at any one time. With a true stream, only with a screen capture utility could you get the entire video onto your system. But if you can post the URL, we can take a look and see what options you might have.
    Regards.

  • I preordered Memphis May fires new album awhile ago and there is no option to download it but to purchase it again and there's no money in my card how can I get my preorder without paying again for it ? I need help

    Help

    Have you paid for the pre-order - you are only charged for pre-orders when they become available and you download them, you aren't charged at the time of pre-ordering them. Does it show on your account's purchase history : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it, click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list).
    If you haven't yet paid then you will need a balance or a credit card on your account so that you can pay for it before you will be able to download it.
    If you have paid for it then does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes find and download it, and/or does it show in the Purchased link in the iTunes store app on your phone and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ?

  • How do I report an ITunes Store error without paying Apple for pointing out their software error.

    Since a couple of ITunes upgrades, tracks purchased from ITunes Store where the artist begins "The " it has included this in the artist sort key whereas it did not before. Nor has it ever done this and still doesn't for own imported CDs. I maintain my ITunes Library in artist sequence and I now have seven tracks sorted under "T" instead of where other tracks have been sorted. Apart from the fact that this needs correcting in the Apple software, I don't seem able to correct this in any way. I have reported on 11th February via normal channel, case number 747285554, and was promised someone would contact me by E-Mail within 48 hours, but no-one did. I have since sent via the same channel 2 reminders but nothing has happened.

    Frankly I doubt that it is considered important. They are unlikely to fix a metadata error in the store based on your report. Four years on and this item still hasn't been corrected. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/comedy-classics/id332157974 (It was reported directly as well as through that review).
    If you clear both the Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist values for the affected tracks then these fields should auto-populate dropping the leading "The" and sort accordingly.
    In some cases the original iTunes Store metadata seems to be given preference over personal changes. If you are seeing this then
    Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Share details about your library with Apple
    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
    Show All Music
    Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data. If not it should reset as you play through content, or you can use my script UpdateTagInfo to force iTunes to read the current data from the tags.

  • Bought ps; now i want to get rest of the suite without paying twice for ps

    Hi I bought photoshop cs6 student version a year ago... now we will be using illustrator and indesign in class, but they are only available in the creative suite pack; in which Photoshop cs6 is included... if i buy the pack can i get a refund or reduction for my ps purchase ?
    (and please don't start with that creative cloud ****)
    Thx in advance

    No. It's completely irrelevant since you got a student version to begin with. there are no upgrades/ sidegrades/ secret handshakes or whatever for those. That's why they are sold at such ridiculously low prices - it's cheaper to buy a new license even for a suite than a commercial upgrade.

  • I recently upgraded by business catalyst to webCommerce but now my old muse website will only show up as a Webbasics , how to upgrade my old site without paying again for BC upgrade?

    I can start new website in BC, but my old one that I had up and running will not 'link' to my upgraded BC package

    This is because it really only supports the features in that. It does not handle all the layout features etc. You can fudge your way using it to build with the higher plans but it does not have access to a lot of the features. So you need to be aware of that.

    Does anyone know if you can order more than one calendar at atime through iPhoto without paying shipping for each different/separate calendar?  Is there not a cart? 
    Last answer I saw was about 5 years ago.  I'm hoping something has updated since then...

    No - you can only order multiples of identical products

  • Can the macbook pro accept a 30 inch monitor without paying extra

    Does the mbp allow video out to a 30 inch monitor without
    paying extra for the adaptor if an adaptor is even needed?
    i.e is the video card to run a 30 inch monitor already included?

    Since you can add in the build to order on the store the 30" LCD without paying any more than the 30" LCD on its own, I can only surmise it includes everything you ened for the 30" LCD. I'd go to one of the stores here:

  • Charged for canceling service in first 30 days

    Hi, all. In short: I cancelled my Comcast service within the first thirty days of a new plan.  I was told that I wouldn't owe anything if I cancelled within that time, not even termination fees.  However, Comcast is charging me over $40 for that month.  I need to know how to put a stop to that, or else they threaten to ruin my credit history by sending negative reports to the credit bureaus. Recently I changed from an old (non-promotional) plan on Comcast to a new one.  I did so in order to get a reduction in price from $155 per month.  The new plan gave me only a reduction of $15 per month and I was forced to take telephone service as well.  I was told I had thirty days to cancel the service without penalty.  I wouldn't be required to pay anything for those thirty days if I cancelled within that period as well. Comcast claims that I digitally signed an agreement to this effect online.  However, I only remember accepting some terms about E911 related to the phone service. In order to get me the new plan, the Comcast service tech had to sign me up for additional services, because she couldn't get her system to accept the plan as we discussed it.  The additional services pushed the monthly amount to around $190 per month.   I was told that I could cancel them later. A couple of days later, when I received confirmation of those additional services, I contacted Comcast again to cancel those services.  It took some time, but the technician got the job done. Over the period of the following thirty days, I found a better service provider for TV and Internet, so I switched to that and called Comcast to cancel my service.  I told the tech. on the phone that I was told I could cancel free of charge.  She disagreed.  After much arguing, she finally relented and said that I would probably get a refund check. Last week, I finally received a letter from Comcast, with a bill for over $40.  I think this is unfair and I need to get it stopped.  When I try to call them, they put me on hold for very long periods of time, then the technicians don't have access to my account history to verify my story.  I have chat transcripts of the conversations about the plan, but they're unable to accept the transcript files from me.  I think it's very convenient that the Comcast techs will say anything online or on the phone and claim to have transcripts or recordings of these communications, however, whenever I ask for something in my favor, the evidence mysteriously disappears.

    Shafting the customer is in their business plan.  They hope that you will get so frustrated that you will just give in.  Better to just do what millions around the country are doing....cut the cord and go with just internet service only.  50Mbps is all you need to stream HD content and buy your own modem which will pay for itself in 9 months vs. Comcast's ridiculous rental fees.  $10/month for Hulu and about the same for Netflix.  You still get most of the content you're looking for without all the fees and headaches.  Good luck!
