I know, without a doubt that is the case. The iPhone 4's have a special policy now that says you can never under any circumstances waive the ETF's.
The last manager literally said to me "if it was any other phone we would waive them"...
Well, lesson to anyone who think they might ever need to get out of their AT&T contract with an iPhone 4 - you'll be fecked.
Any idea on anything else promising I could try?
I was thinking of maybe writing a hard letter to that department.
Can't you just sell the phones? Decent condition IP4's are going for like 600 or 700$.. A few of those should more than cover it....
