AT&T Releases Details on Prorated ETFs
According to a new press release, AT&T Wireless has given details for the early termination fees which were covered by PhoneNews.com back in October of 2007.
Come May 25th, customers who enter a service agreement will have $5 deducted each month from the early termination fee of $175. Customers who enter a service agreement before May 25th will not qualify for the proration.
AT&T will still be offering a month-to-month option if a phone is bought from them at full price or if the customer brings in their own phone.
