Get Out Of Your Sprint Contract CHEAPER

Today Sprint released the details of its new ETF structure. The structure will work as follows:

“The current ETF of $200 will decrease by $10 increments per month beginning in month six of a wireless customer’s contract. Nine months later (the 15th month of the contract), Sprint customers have the lowest pro-rated ETF fee in the industry of $100. What’s more, the ETF could drop as low as $50 before a customer’s contract term expires.”

The only catch is this applies to Sprint customers with a new contract starting November 2, 2008.  So if you renewed your contract recently then you’re out of luck.

The lowered ETF fees are a step in the right direction. I think that consumers are more interested in the phone rather than the service provider. It’s all about choices and consumers want to spend their money wherever they want and they don’t want to have to choose between a limited selection that their carrier provides.
