redlemon: The way Verizon gets around that is when you change your plan, you get sucked into another 1 or 2 year agreement, so it may be cheaper riding out the contract or paying the early termination fee, whichever is cheaper.
A few years ago I had Sprint and the day before my contract ended I couldn't cancel without paying the fee. I called back the following day and they explained I'd still have to pay the 13th month's service (I was in a 12 month contract.) So after about a 20 minute conversation with both the CSR and his supervisor I was able to be done with them once and for all without paying anything more.
