It usually doesnt get to court. A letter to one's State's Attorney
general generates a "whats going on here" letter, and no carrier is
going to court over anything less than $250.

And where did you get this silly notion that a carriers contract is 100%
valid. It's not.

Here is how another user properly explained the Cellular contract:

==================

Subject: Re: Got Screwed

People will tell you that because you signed a contract in which you
basically waived all of your rights, that you cannot seek legal resource
.... but it's just not true.

There are certain consumer protections that cannot be circumvented by
*any* contract.

This is one of the longest running misconceptions on this group. The
"absolve the company of any and all responsibility" - *contract*. While
it is a best case scenario wish-list for the corporation, it is not a
waiver of responsibility. They know this. Everyone has these contracts,
they are standard, but lawsuits still fly.

Only when you keep insisting the a cellular carriers contract can over
ride everything.

It can't.

Never have I insisted a cellular contract can override everything. Just in
OPs situation, nothing has been done to justify a lawsuit or to expect
getting out of contract.

He said he was not receiving service, thats ample grounds for getting
out of a service contract, and a letter to one's State's Attorney
general usually works if the carrier is difficult.
