Call Phone Owners Able To Avoid Cancellation Fees In The Future?

Story posted on: May 21, 2008. Filed in: others.

The government is reportedly negotiating to help cell phone customers avoid expensive fees when they cancel contracts with wireless companies.

Cell phone companies routinely charge customers $175 or more for quitting their service early. Under a proposal to the FCC, the wireless industry would give consumers the opportunity to cancel service without any penalty for up to 30 days after they sign a contact, or until 10 days after they receive their first bill.

It’s hard to imagine that phone carriers would be in support of this, but who knows? It seems like a good move for consumers in general.
