Call Phone Owners Able To Avoid Cancellation Fees In The Future?

The government is reportedly negotiating to help cell phone customers avoid expensive fees when they cancel contracts with wireless companies.

Cell phone companies routinely charge customers $175 or more for quitting their service early. Under a proposal to the FCC, the wireless industry would give consumers the opportunity to cancel service without any penalty for up to 30 days after they sign a contact, or until 10 days after they receive their first bill.

It’s hard to imagine that phone carriers would be in support of this, but who knows? It seems like a good move for consumers in general.
