if you get out of the contract, can you still stay with them on a non-contract basis? can you then renew your contract for another 2 years (ie. new phone)? what happens to your number?

On the service terms it says you can terminate within 30 days after the first bill reflecting the change. So for me i have to wait a month to do this, after the next bill.

And she came back and stated the above, that since a service that is changing that is free to cutomers it does not apply. I told her it's free until I use it...then you chjarge me and it becomes a service and I am paying for it. She dissagreed....I don't swee how they can lie threw there teeth.
So imoral....Ohh and another thing...i told her I had AT&T for 12 years before Cingular bought them out...and I never had a problem...and she goes...well do you ever think why they went under...they gave away things for free.....I said WOW......that's just proves the level of imoral buisness they practice.

UPDATE - I AM OFFICIALLY OUT OF MY CONTRACT.
She called back and said "Sir I cannot furnish your contract at this time" I said "Ok I would like to formally express right now that I would like to be released from my contract due to Cingular not being able to show me my current contract". She said Hold.....2 minutes later....came back and said "Ok Sir both your phones lines are officially released, and will not be charged ETF, would you like for me to cancel your service today?" I said no, I just want to be realsed from my contract at this point. She said your phone #'s will be available to port if you'd like. And she will notate the account of this fully. I said thanks for your time. And that was that.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! F Cingular!

Q. Will this price increase allow customers to end their contract without paying an Early Termination Fee?
A. No, this price increase is not considered a change in the terms of service and does NOT qualify customers to terminate their contracts without paying the appropriate fees.
