How can I Terminate my Verizon Wireless 2yr contract?

How can I terminate my Verizon Wireless 2yr contract?

I found a quite a few people asking about this on Yahoo! answers and online forums. However, these questions weren't specific enough to indicate if this involves paying the ETF. I guess I'll have to provide two ways of canceling or terminating a Verizon Wireless contract. The basic steps of terminating a contract and paying for the ETF and escaping the contract without incurring a fee.

First let me provide some steps on can I terminate my Verizon Wireless 2yr contract.

1.) Dial *611 from your Verizon Wireless 1-800-922-0204 from any phone. This will connect you to with Verizon Wireless customer service where can I terminate my Verizon Wireless 2yr contract.

2.) Press the extension (3 or 4) to be forwarded to account services. You may be put on hold for a few minutes.

3.) Then, you will be able to speak with a living Verizon Wireless customer service representative.

4.) Inform the Verizon Wireless rep that you desire to terminate your Verizon Wireless 2yr contract.

5.) The Verizon Wireless customer service representative will then confirm your identity and begin the process of closing the account or terminate your Verizon Wireless 2yr contract.

6.) You may owe anywhere from nothing, to 200 dollars depending on how long you have been faithful to your Verizon Wireless contract. The ETF is pro-rated depending on how close to the end of the two year contract you are.

7.) The Verizon Wireless customer service representative will normally ask you why you are closing your account and who you are switching to, and then hang up.

That's the basic steps on how to cancel an agreement. I hope that those who asked" How can I terminate my Verizon Wireless 2yr contract?", will be able to benefit from those instructions.

However, it is also possible to terminate your Verizon Wireless 2yr contract without incurring any ETF. Here's the statement from your contracts terms of service:
Your service is subject to our business policies, practices and procedures, which we can change without notice. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE CAN ALSO CHANGE PRICES AND ANY OTHER CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME BY SENDING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE PRIOR TO THE BILLING PERIOD IN WHICH THE CHANGES WOULD GO INTO EFFECT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE YOUR SERVICE AFTER THAT POINT, YOU’RE ACCEPTING THE CHANGES. IF THE CHANGES HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOU, HOWEVER, YOU CAN END THE AFFECTED SERVICE, WITHOUT ANY EARLY TERMINATION FEE, JUST BY CALLING US WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER WE SEND NOTICE OF THE CHANGE.

This basically means that if these changes have a material adverse effect on you and you would like to to terminate your Verizon Wireless 2yr contract, then you can leave without an early termination fee.

That's it for this post. I hope it answers the question: How can I terminate my Verizon Wireless 2yr contract?
