HELP!Do I need pay another $400 termination fee for iphone 4 if contract will end at September?

I have a contract of family plan, and my line is the primary line. I am eligible for upgrading at the discounted rates my contract will be ending in September 2011,and I have paid for $400 termination fee without a security number. I am wondering if I am supposed to pay for another $400 termination fee or the Verizon will just extend the return date of my termination fee( only extend mine or all of my family plan members').

Nothing will happen on the day your contract is up. You will continue on as a Verizon customer UNTIL you take action to change that. Your plan will not change, the amount you are billed will not change, nothing will change except that you will no longer be under contract.
If you initiate a port after your contract is up, whether it is 1 day, 2 weeks or 6 months, you will incur no ETF and will only be liable for the monthly billing charge for your current billing cycle AND any overages if there are any. Nothing more.
If you are near your contract end date, there is no benefit from porting out before the actual contract end date, only penalties.
Furthermore, it is unlikely your contract end date coincides with your billing date. For example, my contract end date is 12/4/2014 and my billing cycle ends on the 15th of the month. If I cancel/port my line on 12/5/2014 OR on 12/10/2014 there will be NO difference in the amount I will owe Verizon as long as I cancel/close/port my line BEFORE 12/15/2014. Keep in mind, most carriers will tell you it can take "up to 5 or so days" for a port to complete, so I would suggest accounting for those days when initiating a port. In my case, I would initiate a port by 12/9/2014 IF I were port my line to another carrier.

  • $500 equipment termination fee after paying $350 early termination fee?

    Hello,
    For some reason, my previous posting now says it is an unauthorized one and it cannot be accessed. I'm posting about a case of my girlfriend who upgraded to iPhone 5S 32G ($299.99+26.62) on December 23, 2013 with the 2-yr contract and had to cancel on January 7, 2014 since she had to leave the country. It would have been nicer if the cancellation was within 14 days, then she could simply cancel the contract and return the device without the early termination fee $350. Unfortunately, it was not the case, and she had to pay the early termination fee $350, the upgrade fee $35, and the amount for the last month usage. Everything was paid off as the terms and clauses said, and until that time, everything was fine: paid the gross amount of $299.99+26.62+350+35+more unfortunately, but kept the phone at least.
    The bad story came today via an email from Rosee (removed) ([email protected]), a person from Collections Department of stayconnectedwireless.com, saying that my girlfriend will be charged the sum amount of $500 due to terminating your Verizon wireless account without returning the equipment to the store. What??? She looked at T&C very carefully before the unfortunate early termination and paid all the huge amount of fees Verizon described in its T&C for termination. The early termination fee is usually considered to account for the discount you get with the 2-yr contract. At the time of early termination, Verizon either wants the device back or the early termination fee paid, not both. Since my girlfriend already paid off all the fees, the email sounded totally weird. What will be your reaction if you paid $299.99+26.62+350+35+more which is about the full retail price and the store says you have to return the device or pay $500 more?
    I had to search over the web to figure out what happened.

    I understand how much anger this person Glenn P. had for these "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless" stores that are seemingly genuine Verizon Wireless stores but just premium retailers unless you look at the signboard very very very carefully. In fact, I could realize the fact today since they pretended to be genuine from many aspects. Now after reading the posting and thinking, what happened becomes very clear to me. They are not genuine Verizon Wireless but pretend to be the one, and they put a disgusting term on their receipts: if any 2-yr upgrade or new activation is cancelled within 7 months of contract, there is a $500 equipment termination fee unless the device is returned to the store in perfect condition. What this term essentially forces is, if you terminate between 14 days and 7 months, you pay all the phone price and the early termination fee properly, but you also need to return the device to this disgusting "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless" retail store or pay $500 to the "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless" retail store.
    I would like to suggest a few things.
    0. Look at the store names and the receipts very carefully. There are stores that are seemingly Verizon Wireless but just retailers. And the receipt may say something absurd. I believe this term is a sort of duplicate penalty (thus not legitimate) that rips off more than the retail price of the phone.
    1. Do upgrade or activation from the genuine VERIZON WIRELESS. If you upgrade or activate a phone from these "STAY CONNECTED VERIZON WIRELESS" retailers and if you happen to cancel the contract between 14 days and 7 months, you have to lose your phone or pay additional $500 even if you paid off the already-huge $299.99+26.62+350+35 which is about the full retail price.
    2. Verizon Wireless, I believe the company, as an influential company in the US, should carefully control the dealer quality and impose reasonable T&C for the dealer. The genuine Verizon Wireless is reasonable in that sense: either take the device back or charge the early termination fee. However, this unethical retailer does not. They first pretend to be the genuine store in many ways, put an unreasonable (perhaps not legitimate) term with small letters on their receipts without explaining the huge difference, and try to take your PAID phone away if the contract is terminated between 14 days and 7 months. I believe a reasonable T&C has to be enforced by Verizon Wireless for this retailer, or they have to be punished if they resist.
    I may have to be ripped off $500 for not paying too much attention on the store name and on the receipt term which nobody will read by trust on Verizon Wireless, but no other people should suffer from the same pain.
    How do you think? Thanks for any input from people or Verizon Wireless representatives.

    Hello,
    Thanks for answering. My posting had been blocked for some time, so I thought Verizon simply did not like the posting. Now I discovered this posting was re-opened.
    To clarify, I have been using Verizon for 7 years, and I'm well aware of all the Verizon charges, fees, and T&C in the process of properly upgrading phones multiple times. The point is that, the retail store "STAY CONNECTED VERIZON WIRELESS" in NY has deceptive signboard and interior that are sufficient to enforce or confuse customers to believe the store is a genuine Verizon Wireless. And, they inserted unreasonable and unacceptable term on the receipt about the termination (very problematic between 14 days and 7 months). However, they did not notify at all about those (3rd party and termination). If I knew the store was 3rd party, I would have read T&C very closely. Actually, you can see that all the angry yelp reviews by Glenn P. also point out the deceptive signboard part. The person also thought the store was genuine Verizon Wireless until the collection department contacted for the astonishing $500. Later, basically they softly threaten to report for a negative record if you do not return the PAID phone or pay the extra $500.
    Apart from the deceptive signboard and interior, I want to simplify the example for the unreasonable T&C as follows. As a customer, I paid for the discounted phone price $299.99+tax, the upgrade fee $35, and the early termination fee $350. At that point, the genuine Verizon Wireless does not take the phone away and all the business is done since the early termination fee compensates the discount. When the weird retail store kicks in, they suddenly require the phone back or $500 equipment termination fee paid because the termination was between 14 days and 7 months from the contract. I don't think they truly have a legal right or basis to do that since it is a duplicate penalty which is also very excessive, but I just respected the one ugly sentence on the receipt about the unreasonable $500 equipment termination fee. Anyway, the full retail price is $749, and the total payment with this retail store became easily more than $1,200 or I have to return the PAID phone (~$700) to them. What an easy business from their sides! I believe Verizon Wireless, once you know about this unethical retail store, you should take a proper action. I would understand a bit more about special T&C if they provided special discounts as Best Buy or Walmart, but the discounted price was exactly same with Verizon Wireless. Is there any justification about the $500 equipment termination fee? Possibly you can have $100 or so to minimize the damage as a 3rd-party store, but not $500.
    When I contacted the collection department of stayconnectionwireless.com, the person tried to justify $500, but I just told one thing: I know the genuine Verizon Wireless does not charge the weird equipment termination fee once the early termination fee $350 is paid. The person became silent after my comments because I knew Verizon's T&C very well. However, I had to pay $500 to avoid all the potential legal issues. Normally the good way to deal with this should be to pay first and take wrong things back.
    My first expectation was that, Verizon Wireless would take a reasonable response on my posting. However, two postings on this Verizon forum were immediately blocked, so I had to file a complaint on FCC (Federal Communications Commision) about "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless". I don't know how much legal obligation they can impose, though.
    Now, since you re-opened my posting and replied, if your company situation allows, I hope Verizon Wireless can investigate this retail store's T&C and advise not to do that. They might be the only store that excessively charges such fees as authorized 3rd-party dealers. If they resist and if I'm one of the board member in Verizon Wireless, I would control the quality of authorized 3rd-party retail stores and take proper actions to retain Verizon's credibility. I don't know whether Verizon Wireless will do that.
    Please contact me if more information is needed. Thanks.

  • Paying an Early Termination Fee

    Maybe this is a stupid question but I do not know the answer so I'll ask.  Can you pay the Early Termination Fee (ETF) no to end service but to migrate to a month-to-month contract?  

    AFAIK, the short answer is 'no'.  You pay an ETF because you're ending your contract term early, and if you then turn around and try to reactivate service within the first 50 days (at least I think it's 50; it may be 60), your contract is reinstated.

  • Early termination fee for Samsung Reality?

    We have a family plan and want to switch to sprint. I need to know the early termination fees. 1 phone is a samsung reality. The second phone use to be a samsung reality but was recently broke and switched to a motorola Razor (not sure if we would pay the smartphone termination fee or regular phone termination fee). both have served 16 months of their 24 month term. any info would help greatly. Thanks!

    Thank you budone for your response. I appreciate your help.
    @Smartsie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are considering going to Sprint. If you are still under contract the amount would depend on how much of the contract you have completed and the device you originally upgraded to when you renewed your contract. Without taking a look at your account I am unable to provide the exact early termination fee amount. 
    Please send me a private message if you would like to discuss your account. I'll be more than happy to assist you.

  • Will i need a case or screen protector for iphone 5

    will i need a case or screen protector for iphone 5? heard the glass is tougher, but still concerned about scratches.

    I think you probably should ask if others ever felt they needed them. I can tell you from my experience that applying a screen protector never worked out for me and I always took them off shortly after applying (bubbles / dust enclosed). But then a former colleague had his applied in an Apple Store and that looked perfect. Fortunately I never had a scratch in a screen as I always took good care (and my iPhones always had a pocket in my trowsers to themselves and didn't need to share it with keys or other scratchy objects ...).
    The case is a completely different story: I think every phone I had so far managed at least once to slide out of my pockets (don't laugh!) while being on a loo and hit the floor from low hight. Due to the covers I had, the phone looked as new as before, just the cases had a slight scratch if at all. Therefore a case would be highly recommended esp as it can safe you iPhone if you drop it from higher hight.
    Reading the first hands-on reviews it appears that the new iPhone 5 is built with materials that are less prone to scratch or crack but my first purchase next Friday will be a case. Not sure if bumper or full case but a case nevertheless.

  • What is the early termination fee for a Blackberry Tour Contract?

    Okay I was searching for this on Web and in Here and got multiple answers. Far as I can tell a 2 year contract termination fee is about $175.00 and I have 9 months left on my contract. I also read you they deduct a certain amount $5.00 ? for each month of your contract that you have paid. So I guessing it would be about $100.00 + anything I owe for the Billing Cycle?

    Thank you Budone for your help. We appreciate you taking the time to help our fellow VZW forum community members.
    @Paul_Deemer,
    I'm sad to hear that you are considering leaving us. Is there a particular reason why you're considering canceling your service? I'll be more then happy to assist you.
    Budone is correct in saying that the early termination fee is $350.00 for all Smartphones and it is decrease by $10.00 for every month you complete of the contract. The cancellation fee will deduct to a minimum of $240.00 for a 1 year contract and $120.00 for 2 year contracts. Without looking at your account I am unable to provide an exact amount for the early termination fee
    Please let us know if there is anything we can do to change your mind.

            I don't recall it being so difficult to upgrade Safari on my computer.  I have Windows Vista and I love Safari!  But every where I go it is telling me that "this site is not supported by your current browser, please upgrade"
            No problem.  Except it is!   I use to be able pop over to Apple and upgrade but now it only gives you the choice to upgrade a Mac.  Please don't tell me that I can't use Safari any longer on  Windows Vista.....

    I knew someone was going to ask me why I still have Vista!   My computer works great with no problems!   I have had this HP Mini for over four years and not one problem!
    Until now:(
