I'm very displeased with my cell phone service. Bad coverage areas, texts hardly send out or deliver, calls will sometimes not come through but show up as voicemail hours later, etc.

Now, I've read on the MSN Homepage that you can get out of a contract if you're not pleased with the service; they're not living up to their part of the contract.

Anyone have such luck?

How long is your contract? I think you can get a buyout within 6 months of its expiry date other wise you are stuck. You can't just get out of a contract. I suggest you find the contract you signed first and see what exectly it is you signed.

I believe they are required to give you a 30 day grace period, after that , you are SOL.

that's why to this DAY i have a prepaid cell phone.

IMHO, unless your job requires it, no one should have a cell phone that they use for more than say, 500 minutes a month, and that's pushing it.

I have a house phone, and if I am at home... I actually use it. I don't sit on the hphoen for hours with anyone anyway.

I think I put 50 bucks on my phone last month and I still have like 20something left.
