I hate getting locked into a long term cell phone contract as much as anyone, but at the end of the day it's a contract and I signed it so why should should I or anyone else be able to break the agreement penalty-free?
Apparently a judge in CA thought differently. All I can find is what was ruled(Early cancel fees are illegal), but no reasoning on WHY she ruled as such. Anyone have the details?
And to those who think the rulling is good for customers, walk into a cell phone store and look at the small print that shows how much the phones cost without a 1 or 2 year contract. That's what we'll all be paying for our phones if this ruling gains ground in the rest of the US. The long term contracts are the only way cell phones stay affordable.
