Hey guys, I'm stuck in a situation and was hoping if anyone could help me.

Right now, I'm on a verizon family plan with 4 lines. All of them have different contract-ending dates and the total ETF for all of my lines combined would be around $500. Is there any way to avoid this huge cost to switch to AT&T?

Also, I know that you can avoid the ETF if Verizon changes some part of your contract. Have they changed any pricing plans recently?

Thanks in advance.. D:
 
May I suggest waiting until January 2011? The Verizon iPhone rumors are very strongly pointing to that time.
 
There's been rumors for Verizon iPhone ever since the iPhone came out... D:

Also, why would they release a iPhone in January and then update it again in their usual update time? I just don't see how it makes sense.
 
If you must get out of you contract now you will have to pay the ETF.
Not sure if Verizon changed anything in their terms recently but even if they did its very hard to get out without paying. You can search online and try a few calls to verizon and hope for the best.
Or maybe sell some of the verizon phones you have to recover some of the cost.
