Regulate Phone Contract For Free

Negotiate. If you do settle on an offer, nothing's keeping you from negotiating. You can simply tell the provider you're considering switching to their service ? or that you're currently shopping around with other providers ? and ask for some perks. It's useful to come armed with comparable deals from other providers.

Contact your mobile phone provider to tell them you want to cancel your contract. You can either call or send a free text, or email them. If you're still within contract, you'll need to pay any exit fees or buy-out the remainder of your contract, before you can leave.

If you're still locked into the contract, then you may have to pay a substantial fee to end it early. Typically you'll have to pay off the remainder of the contract (possibly with a small discount), so ending particularly early is rarely financially sound.

If you signed up for a new phone contract over the phone or online, you get what's called a 'cooling-off' period, which typically lasts for 14 days. So, if you change your mind during the cooling-off period, you can exit the contract without penalty ? as long as it's within those 14 days.

Now, under the rules of the Wireless Code, you can cancel your contract and return your phone if you're not happy with it. And you can do this at no cost, within 15 days of your purchase, if you haven't used more than half of the monthly data specified in your plan.

If you're wondering whether it's possible to cancel or modify your phone contract before it ends, the answer is 'yes'. However, specific scenarios determine whether you can do so without incurring 'early termination fees' or 'early exit fees'.
