porschetr porschetr Post Master Supreme Registered: 05/15/01 Posts: 23391 Loc: WBridge	I don't think it was discussed here and I just found this out yesterday. Basically, if you've renewed or signed up for a 3 year wireless contract after December 2nd, 2013, you can exit the contract after the 2nd year without a penalty? Good thing, because I was "forced" to sign up for 3 years when the 2 year contract rule was already in effect. Their excuse was my corporate plan didn't apply to the new regulations. http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/info_sht/t13.htm No cancellation fees after 2 years You can cancel your contract after 2 years with no cancellation fees – even if you have agreed to a longer term Limit on data & roaming charges Extra data charges and international data roaming charges are capped to prevent bill shock Unlocked cellphones You can have your cellphone unlocked after 90 days, or immediately if you paid for the device in full Trial period You can return your cellphone within 15 days, without penalty, if you are unhappy with your service Clear language Your contract and related documents must be provided to you in plain language _________________________

It just baffles my mind that people do this. But nonetheless, Im curious of this thread outcome bc I do have a friend who is trying to get out of a contract with Bell and she wants to sign with Rogers 5gb, unlimited canada wide calling for 70 bucks. _________________________ Who cares

I never had issues keeping the phone for 4-5 years I got with the contract. But this recent "Smart Phone" boom started pushing people to get new phones every couple of years. _________________________

While there is no "cancellation fee" per se, they still can charge you the amount they subsized for your hardware. My contract is up Oct. As much as I want to stick it to Bell, I rather keep my plan for a few months than having to pay another $140.

Bell told her it's 140 bucks to get out of the contract - how can she get out of that without having to pay for the penalty even though you said she should be able to get out of it without having to pay for the penalty - so care to share how to do so????? _________________________ Who cares

There's no cancellation fee, she's simply paying off her 'device' balance.
