Early termination fees

[Adunn001]

Our contract ends on 7/10/15. I was wondering if there would be a fee if I ported out my numbers three days early 7/7/15? The contract states $30 within the 23rd month and $0 at contract end, nothing during the 24th month.

You might be on the hook for the final months bill, as well as ETFs.  (I assume for 3 lines ending at the same time)

as far as I know, if you end your contract 1 day early you will be billed the $10 ETF.

You should port out 2-3 days before the end of your billing period.  Cell carriers do not prorate final bills.

With 5 days left you really don't want to give Verizon any excuse to sling a claim of contract breach at you.  Wait 6 days.

Your contract started on 7/10/2013 which is before Nov 14, 2014 and under the old ETF terms. You need to WAIT until after 7/10/2015 and before your billing cycle ends to port to another carrier to avoid paying the ETF and to use as much as possible billing cycle you have paid for. If you have a bill due on 7/10/15, you need to pay that too.
