AT&T is a telecommunications corporation that provides wireless, digital television, Internet, and home phone services. AT&T is one of the largest cell phone carriers in the country, serving some 120 million customers.

There are many reasons why you may want to cancel your phone service. Whether you’re not happy with the mobile phone service you are receiving, or your you’ve found a cheaper plan with a different carrier...When you have to go, you have to go. Unfortunately, mobile phone companies usually require heavy-duty contracts that lock consumers in for a long period of time.

You may be drawn into the long-term contract by affordable rates, bundles, and low-cost Smartphones, but in the long run, what does your contract entail?  Are you going to be subject to high early cancellation fees?

Trying to cancel your AT&T mobile phone service is no different. If you’ve called the customer service number at AT&T you’ve likely encountered the “AT&T Retention Team,” whose primary purpose is to keep you as a customer. Their sales policies and avoidance tactics result in wasted time and frustration. If you’re canceling your AT&T mobile phone service before your contract is finished, you could be susceptible to exorbitant fees to the tune of $150 or more. In fact, some 700 ConsumerAffairs.com customers gave the company an average of one and a half out of five stars.

Occasionally, if your contract terms have been broken due to fee changes on the part of AT&T, you may be able to cancel your AT&T account without penalties. It’s important to ensure your account is up to date, and that your balance is 0. If you’re in good standing, and you want to cancel your AT&T account, CancelWizard can help.

5. Request a cancellation confirmation letter for hard-copied proof that you’ve canceled your account.
