# How to cancel AT-T contract without penalty ?


Canceling your **[+1–888–6654–879]** AT&T contract without paying an early termination fee (ETF) or penalty is possible in certain situations, but it requires understanding AT&T’s policies and taking the right steps. Normally, AT&T charges a fee if you end your contract before the term expires, especially for postpaid wireless plans or devices purchased on installment agreements. However, you can avoid these penalties in several legitimate ways.

First, you can cancel **within the 14-day return period** (also called the buyer’s remorse period). If you recently started your service or upgraded your device, AT&T allows you to cancel within 14 days of activation without penalty. You’ll just need to return the phone or equipment in good condition and pay for any usage or activation fees.

Another way to avoid penalties is if **AT&T changes your contract terms**. For example, if the company increases prices or modifies your plan’s terms significantly, you can cancel within 30 days of being notified without an ETF. Always check your AT&T account notifications or email for such updates.

You may also qualify for penalty-free cancellation in case of **network issues**. If you consistently experience poor service or no coverage in your area, contact AT&T support and request a coverage review. If they confirm service problems that cannot be resolved, you might be allowed to cancel without a fee.

In certain cases, **military deployment** or **relocation outside AT&T’s coverage area** can also make you eligible for contract termination without penalty. You’ll need to provide valid documentation, such as deployment orders or proof of address change.

Lastly, if you’ve paid off your device installment plan, you can cancel anytime with no early termination fees.

By following these steps and verifying your eligibility, you can end your AT&T contract smoothly and avoid unwanted penalties.
