Doubt it. It may be possible to get it prorated I heard. Basically, if you completed 80% of your contract, you only pay 20% termination fee. ---

switch to sprint at no charge then port your numbers to verizon, no cancellation fee since your within sprint’s buyer’s remorse period (grace period). And don’t tell me this can’t be done because my best friend runs a Nextel store and I work at T-Mobil and I’ve done it about 6 times. The only wireless company that is prorating cancellation fees is Verizon. For every month you’ve had them, $5 is deducted from your cancellation fee, but a 2yr contract cancellation cannot fall under $60 and a 1yr cannot fall under $120. so if you’ve had Verizon for 10 months, and want to switch to say T-Mobil, your cancellation fee would be $125 ($175 - $50). ---
