In this case, you’ve got until the end of October. It turns out all the major cell phone companies have these clauses, and they all periodically change prices - even though few people take advantage of it. Why would it be a good idea to cancel your cell phone service? Because then you can go sign up for another contract, get a free, brand new phone, and start the clock over a lot faster than the normal 2 year contract. That’s a lot of extra value for you, given that many of the phones you can get are worth $150-$200 - and while it’s a little bit of a hassle, if you’ve got an older phone it can be well worth it. You can even sell your old cell phone, netting yourself a little bit of money for doing it.
