After Sprint rolled in its new ETF policy, former customers started to complain about them and think trial thoughts. And it looks like Sprint has agreed to return some of the money for the ETF you paid for canceling the agreement. If you did cancel your agreement between July 1999 and December 2008 you are entitled to a $90 consolation prize. If you were stuck with Sprint to avoid paying the cancellation fees then you will only get $35 back. All you have to do is go to a Sprint store and start complaining about it.

How long have you been waiting for a chance to get out of jail free of your Sprint contract? Well you still have a chance to do it free of charge. What you have to do is to exploit a material breach in contract from the carriers. Sprint has decided to raise their non-government mandated administrative fee from $0.50 to $0.75. All that will happen starting with January 1st so you have just a few days to drop out of your contract ETF-free. Let us know if it worked though.

Sprint has just change is policy regarding its Early Termination Fees. From November 2nd, for every month you keep your Sprint contract after you sixth month, the company will cut $10 off the early termination fee. If you cancel your contract you will end up paying anywhere from $50 to the maximum $200.

The new rules apply to contracts signed after November 2nd so in order to take advantage of them you should ask for a new Sprint contract on Monday. Any comments on that?

Here’s another bad news for Sprint. After selling a large amount of their towers last week in order to pay out some of their already standing balance, Sprint receives one more bad news. In a Californian state court it has been ruled that Sprint will have to pay about $73 million in refunds to customers for charging early termination fees improperly.

How many people choose their carrier based on early termination fees? I guess there aren’t that many. We look for good phone deals, better coverage, more minutes and data, less roaming surcharges and stuff like that. The only time we are faced with early termination fees is when considering a phone which is available only from a certain carrier. Can you name any model? That’s when we try to figure out how to get out of the contract and get back to our favorite carrier.
