Sprint-Nextel [about 14-15 months ago]:
"No signal even though our coverage map says there should be full
strength?  Sorry mate, yer fucked, it's not the original service
location, so it's not our problem.  No, we won't pro-rate the early
termination fee.  Have a nice day.  HAHAHAHA!"

AT&T-Cingular [about 15 minutes ago]:
"No signal?  Oh dear, sorry to hear that.  Well, if we can't get you
signal, we can't sell you service, and we can't charge you an early
termination fee.  Let us know if you want us to help you port your
existing number to another carrier."
