Terminando.


Explanation:
In my opinion it would be better to use an expressing to pass on the meaning of "slamming", like "DANDO POR TERMINADO", instead of using only word.
However you can take my suggestion and put it in context.

I think that there is no equivalent in Brazil:


Explanation:
from a wire line, the user SHOULD always select a long distance carrier, and from a cell phone he/she is not allowed to chose a long distance operator.

uma idéia...


Explanation:
poderia ser, 'burlar' (trocar a transportadora escolhida pelo cliente sem seu consentimento)?

Talvez, se você nos desse a frase inteira, poderíamos ter uma alternativa melhor.

Boa sorte

Slamming (a prática de trocar de fornecedor sem aviso ou consentimento do cliente)


Explanation:
Como esta prática não existe no Brazil e nem poderia, sendo resultado da legislação peculiar dos EUA, se você quer uma só palavra, essa é a palavra: "Slamming"

Pelo que parece de algumas das outras respostas, entretanto, muitos no Brazil/Portugal não entenderão a palavra e você terá que dar uma explicação como: "a prática de trocar de fornecedor sem aviso ou consentimento do cliente"

Explicação mais precisa: \"a prática do fornecedor substiuir-se sem aviso ou consentimento do cliente\"
