Verizon Wireless LogoVerizon Wireless is increasing their text messaging rates by 50% and you can use that to get out of your contract. (Starting March 1 it will cost you 15 cents to send and receive instead of 10 cents.) A cancellation script was constructed on another blog for people to use during the call. They use scripts on us so why shouldn’t we have one too?

You can view the script here. It’s helping quite a few people cancel without a fee. Even if you don’t want to cancel your contract with them, you should still use it to get a credit on text messaging for the remaining life of your contract. Do it before March 1. Thirty minutes of your time can save you over fifty bucks.

Read how it’s done here.

    I would like to ternimate my cell phone accout, due to a hardship. I cannot afford a cell phone any longer & don’t need to use one any more.

    I am closing my account with you. After many years of service, the loyalty apparently only works one way. The charges are too high for needed services, and I only remained for
    “best coverage” status. But I consider it bondage when you promise freedom to move in and out of plans freely, then actually charge to do it–AND demand extended service. I’m done. CG

    Until recently I had been with Verizon since 2002. I had upgraded cell phones with them periodically. I am sure everytime I upgraded it was a new contract. I last upgrsded back in 2007 and my new 2 yr contract went into effect. Recently I changed cell phone service b/c of financial considerations. Verizon hit me with a $60 early termination fee which to me is illegal
    b/c the 2 year contract had expired long ago. If they renew the contract after expiration, that would be unethical and illegal b/c if that is the case they never informed me.
    I threatened not to pay the early term fee. Who is right?

    I also had the same problem as Bill Ronchi. I was charged $135 for each of the 3 phones I cancelled and I made sure my plan was up before I did this! My contract ended 2 years ago! This is beyond crazy and illegal. I should not have to pay this.

    I have called to cancel my Verizon cell phone of which I was told the contract ends on January 27th of 2011. I just received a statement, do I pay this or am I already paid for the whole month of January prepaid at beginning of contract?

    I have another phone given to me last year. I am waiting for Verizon contract to expire on Jan. 27, 2011. That is what the agent said I should do when I called him back in December 2010. Again, is the statement I received to be paid by me before you cancel me out?

    Verizon no longer has the best coverage. i do not get service at my house with verizon but AT & T does. I want to cancel because of this and was told that I will be charged 350.00 to cancel. this is highway robbery if you ask me. My neighbors had sprint and went to them to cancel because they too want to switch to AT&T so that they have cell service at thier house, Sprint waived the cancellation fee. they said they appreciated the time they spent with them and would waive the fee, and they did! If verizon refuses to at least discount the cancellation fee, i will ultimatly be leaving verizon wireless anyway… just with very poor feelings towards them.
