In February 2006 at&t wireless then Cingular changed the early termination fee (ETF) to $175. prior to February 2006 if you canceled they charged you 10 dollars per month left on your contract.

Because of that change at&t received a lot of criticism and effective today they have changed their ETF policy again, to the way it was prior to February 2006. No word from at&t if this is just for new contracts or existing contracts as well.

at&t has said they will also no longer require an extension of your contract when you change your service.
