Reminder: You can now cancel your Sprint contract and not pay an ETF

As I mentioned back in December, Sprint has made a change to the contract terms and users should be able to cancel without having to pay an early termination fee.

The change means that users, should they choose not to cancel, will have to pay an extra $0.20 cents per line. According to the details;

Regulatory Charge/Ts&Cs Changes
Effective 1/1/10, the Regulatory Charge will increase to $0.40/line.

This change went into effect a few days ago (on January 1, 2010) and means that you will have 30 days to call up and cancel. Of course, just make sure you do not pay your bill and then decide to cancel, because a bill payment will mean that you are agreeing to the new terms.

Personally, I am planning to cancel, or at least try. But that is going to have to wait a few days until I return from CES.
