Getting out of a cingular contract

[shimbo19]

i am six months into a 2 year contract with cingular.  i want to change to sprint b/c cingular is soo expensive.  i tried telling them that i live in upstate ny and there is no cell reception but that didn't work and they still want to charge me $150.  does anyone have any ideas thx

Something sounds off, as cingular turned to back to at&t a couple of years ago

Unfortunately I don't know a solution for your problem, however, I would like to take this oportunity to advice people who are on their 1st month with At&t and want to stay but not lock into a contract that they can come into an At&t store, return the equipment provided by At&t and provide your own phones, that will allow you to keep their plan without being in a contract.
This can apply as well to new at&t customers that want to get one of their plans but are not sure if they want to lock into 2 years.

Never done it myself - and dont  know if you can keep your number - but you can look into it...(you probably will take a loss on the sale - but probably not as big as staying with att...or taking their cancel fees.

there are websites where u can trade an existing plan with someone else who's looking to take u over....

If you have free roaming force all phones to roam only
