I started out arguing the text-massage fee increase, but I got a supervisor who must have been informed by management to be an incorrigible rude a-hole. I got so fed up with this jerk that I ended the call and promised myself to give it a shot the following day. I spent the rest of that afternoon scouring this web-site and found a very small blurb about Verizon raising their Admin fee on the February bill. I called back the next day and got out of the contracts without an ETF with no problem. I'm now a proud Cingular customer.........for now.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(1074512, 'eightkid')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-1078050\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=12542\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=12542\">notlazyjustdontcare</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2007/03/roundup-readers-who-canceled-their-cellphones-without-termination-fee.html#comment-1078050\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2007-03-09T22:23:21-05:00\">March  9, 2007 10:23 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(1078050);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=1078050');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>Where are our thumbs-up photos?</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(1078050, 'notlazyjustdontcare')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-1080881\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=20202\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=20202\">jgodsey</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2007/03/roundup-readers-who-canceled-their-cellphones-without-termination-fee.html#comment-1080881\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2007-03-11T00:02:44-05:00\">March 11, 2007 12:02 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(1080881);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=1080881');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>i figured out something bloody obvious last time i had to change my service plan with t-mobile.
