AT&T To Impose Huge Cancellation Fee On iPhone

iPhone in your future? You might want to think twice about cancelling the service from AT&T if that was your plan, as they will be charging people a completely fair (sarcasm) $175 for the privilege of cancelling. Yes, it’s insane, but completely legal. I am not even sure if it’s known whether or not the iPhone can be unlocked, but I know it’s the first thing I would be looking into. Apple should sell an unlocked version for $100 more, which would still be cheaper than this ridiculous charge.

Like I’ve said in the past, AT&T needs to retain these iPhone customers that will swarm stores next week. Imposing a cancellation fee of that caliber sucks, but it’s how the world works. No word if customers with existing accounts will be subject to the fee.
