According to Tmonews, starting August 29th T-Mobile will be increasing their SMS rates to .20 per text. This is a good time to cancel your contract to jump ship for whatever service you are looking to head to.

Come join me at Sprint if they have a good network where you are... and they likely do. I was so happy to be rid of T-Mobile and its network.
I wish this "out" was available back then bokkas.
Thank you OP! This came just in time! Can anyone tell me how and when I cancel my contract? Can it be done now over the phone? Also can you also port your numbers? TIA!

We the OP said " This is a good time to cancel your contract to jump ship for whatever service you are looking to head to." they meant after the new rate goes into effect.
Once it does you just get someone to send you a test message, then our your next bill you will see that outrageous $0.20 for a single message. Then you call in and complain that TMO has changed the terms of your contract and that is not right.

i wouldn't be suprise if T-Mobile has a line in their contract that says, even though we increase rates, you are still subject to a contract termination fee. lol being that the contract is like a billion lines long...
Thanks! I am sick of text messages from people I don't know and Tmobile didn't credit me for those.

I get spammed routinely through texting and tmobile tells me to bugger off when I complain.

Wow... are they just begging everyone to go to ATT and buy a new 3G iPhone? Music to my ears... I wanted the 3G iPhone anyway and this will be pretty good timing.
just got rid of my $4.99 text messaging add-on, can't wait to get out of contract again.
we have the unlimited txt option for $19.99. should I get rid of it now to be able to cancel my family plan and move to another carrier on Aug 29th?
thx
on a side note, for those who have gotten 'free-phones/CashBack' from local dealers, you might want to check if you can cancel the contract. Because it might affect their commission and they in turn will charge you for it. I think they allow you to jump after 6 months....
but I wonder... if you stay with the service, but terminate the contract.. would that work???
thanks OP!! Great Deal!!!
whatever you do if you want to cancel your contract, DO NOT pay your bill with the new charges.
Paying the bill is a legal consent that you agree to the new charges and they will not cancel your contract. Refuse to pay the bill even if they say it is taken care of on their end, wait until it can be verified.
I had a guy tell me it was taken care off and to go ahead and pay my bill. When i paid and called back i realized that nothing was taken care of and that i had just legally agreed to the charges. They will also offer all sorts of perks like free text messaging for the term of the contract to get you to stay, they might even knock the price down by $10/month
Just ask what they are "willing to do" to keep you
Or you can just move to Iowa and talk on the phone for several hrs a day w/ your family. They will cancel your plan w/o any charge. They just cancelled my plan because of that.
People need to understand that this is not a material change in the contract. The contract only stipulates that you are provided with the ability to send and receive messages.
Great info OP. Thanks for sharing.
Bit too late for me though. My current contract runs out in September anyway, so I'll just save my energy of bitching to T-Mobile and asking them to cancel my contract.
BTW, to the contract cancellation experts. I recently moved to a new place and T-Mobile coverage over here is very shitty! I don't get a signal at all in my home unless I stand right next to the window. Is this reason good enough to cancel my contract without ETF? I hear that the Sprint network is pretty good over here.
I hope VZW does this soon. I need to come out their dreadful 2 yr contract.

What region? They have coverage in Ames and actually are affiliated with iWireless for much of the rest of the state
iowa city/coralville. They cancelled my roommate's plan too.

Call Customer Care and ask them to query your address in the coverage map. If your address shows that you have 3+ bars of signal you wont be able to cancel without the ETF. You need to make sure that your address is updated on your account. If your address is located in a 2 or less bar coverage area you can cancel without the ETF. If you havent updated your account and received a bill at your new address you will need to fax in some sort of confirmation, like a utility bill or something showing your name and your new address.
