In this recent post from The Consumerist, they outline how to cancel your current Cingular contract without those pesky cancellation fees.

Cingular logoIf you are currently on a plan with Cingular, and want to get an iPhone when it comes out in June, you may wish to use this cancellation trick in order not to overlap any remaining contract when you want to get the iPhone. The details of the iPhone Cingular contract have not been released yet, but it is safe to assume that any cell phone plan you may have had previously, will not be transferrable.

If you have a cell phone contract that reaches beyond June from a different service provider, you may be up the river without a paddle on this one. Current Cingular customers may have an advantage and an opportunity.

Plan ahead, there’s only 5 months to go before the iPhone is released!
