Do I have a chance to try out my service and cancel it without paying an early termination fee?

Yes. Most wireless companies offer a period of time for customers who sign contracts to use the service and phone to see if it meets their needs. During that return period, typically 14-30 days, consumers can cancel service without incurring an early termination fee. If you cancel after the return period, you will usually be charged an early termination fee that could be as much as $200 or more. Be sure you understand how the early termination fee works and what you have to do to make sure you are not charged an early termination fee.
