Get out of your Sprint contract through January 31

It looks like Sprint has set up a quick way for customers to ditch their service. They had previously allowed customers to get out of their contracts ETF-free due to a change in their terms of service (a 75 cent administrative fee). That ended January 1. Now, though, they’re giving customers yet another chance to opt out of their service. In a strange move, they’ve again increased the administrative fee, this time to 99 cents. This creates a ripe opportunity for customers to ditch Sprint in favor of Boost Mobile’s unlimited plan.

The offer will extend through January 31, so there’s still some time for you to call up Sprint and tell them to cancel your contract. You can then try out Boost’s new unlimited plan, available Thursday, to see if it works for you. If it does, that’s great. You’ve found a quality cell phone plan on the cheap. If not you can check out other pay as you go cell phone deals.

If you’re a gadget hound, as many out there are, you can also wait until Sprint releases the Palm Pre or the BlackBerry Bold. Since you won’t have a contract, you can sign up for a new one and take advantage of a subsidy. Unless Sprint puts something in place which would prevent people who have recently canceled contracts to re-join and receive a subsidy. We’ll have to wait and see on that one, I suppose.
