Cell phone contract Never actually signed - Can the company still hold me responsible?

Hey,

My friend is a cell phone dealer, and he provided me with a new Cell phone contract which I never signed. Now I am having distress with my cell phone carrier about unknown charges, that was originally added on the contract without my consent, and which they refuse to adjust. Is there a way to void the contract, without being held responsible for it? or is there a better way to dispute these charges with a third party?

I would find it hard to believe they could hold you responsible with nothing in writing.

I’ve heard that I need to have a credit check or show excellent credit.
I have a job, and a checking account with an atm check card.
I’m turning eighteen in a few days. I want to open a 2 year contract cell phone line with Sprint.
Will I be able to go into the store and buy the phone and sign up for a contract? Or is it more involved?
Thanks!

You can go into the store to sign up for a contract but if you don’t have any credit or poor credit they can make you place a deposit down before letting you open up an account. With most companies the deposit is refundable after a few months of paying your bills on time.

I really sell cell phones for AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. I know from experience if you have ZERO credit your best chance of getting a contracted phone is doubtless T-Mobile Flex Pay with contract. Sometimes AT&T, & Verizon have surprised me though but usually they will vital a deposit for $ 300 & $ 400 dollars for fresh 18 Year olds.

Sprint SUCKS lol, i’ll be honest if your gonna be stuck with somebody for 2 being you don’t want it to be them. I have a lot of people coming in to cancel there sprint and join one of the other 3 carriers.

T-Mobile Flex Pay isn’t really a terrible deal either. If you go into a Wal*Mart and get it you have the option of at least 2 free phones. With Flex Pay the phone is usually more then if you had a normal T-Mobile. With Flex pay you will just have to pay your First Months Bill THAT DAY in the store. You can still pick any plot, and any features. You can’t ever go OVER your mins, so you don’t have to worry about overage charges.and if you need more mins there are ways to buy them. Just talk to the associate and they will clarify it all!

Just make sure you have a current License/State ID and your set!
GOOD LUCK!

To complete this How-To you will need: The terms of your contract The ability to “roam” A new take up A customer service digit Someone who desires to take over your plot Step 1: Cancel within 30 days Cancel within 30 days. Many providers offer a penalty-free window for trying their service. If you’ve had your contract for under a month, you may be able to cut out without racking up ahead of schedule termination fees, or ETFs. Step 2: Roam everywhere you want to Some providers pay roaming charges—additional fees to use your phone when you’re out-of-network. If yours pays for roaming, use over half your minutes while your phone is out-of-network. Your carrier will rack up a huge bill. It may be more expensive for them to keep you as a customer than to ditch you. If so, they’ll send you a termination letter. Tip: See if you can set your phone preferences to only use “roaming,” and make your out-of-network calls by free night and weekend minutes. Step 3: Watch for service changes Keep your eye out for a notice that your provider is going …
