peer agreement (net): +9| the time period during which you can’t cancel your cellphone contract. service contract period Explanation: At least this is what my cellular provider calls it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2006-08-10 21:08:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Basically, that the entire period of your cellphone contract, excluding the first 14 or 30 days of the "trial period" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-08-10 22:25:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Charles, to clear a possible confusion: This doesn't mean that cancellation fee would apply through all the period of your using service of a particular provider. Normally, the contracts with individual are 1 or 2 years. After that, you continue on a "month-to-month" basis, and can cancel at any time without a cancellation fee charged. Providers offer incentives for customers to sign such 1 or 2 year conctracts, like giving you the equipment (the phone) for free or at a considerable discount. |
