Great...chalk another victory for the consumer. I recently opted out of my contract with Verizon and have been using a rather new company on the block, Metro PCS (unlimited minutes and no contract), but so far we're really disappointed with the quality of the strength. I don't want to go back to the big providers and sign my soul away to high monthly fees again though. Verizon really had us in a vice - if we cut our monthly charge down, we risked going over the minutes and paying more, and each time we'd change our plan, we were signing up for another 2 year contract. I was fortunate enough to have someone tell me about a legal loophole for opting out of the contract. I've read recently that Congress is looking into prohibiting the high cancelation fees for getting out of contracts. Something needs to be done to maintain customer choice over cell phone providers.
