If you read the original post, I was not bemoaning the fact that I had signed a long term contract. At the time of signing I had every intention of holding on to the phone I have. However in my case the situation has changed, and I need to adjust.
I have a phone that I will not need now because I am being supplied one by my new employer, and I was enquiring if anyone knew a way to break the contract at minimal cost. It turns out there is not. So be it. Now the challenge I face is to come up with a solution to the situation that is now at hand.
Pay out the contract.....$400.00.
Transfer it to someone else, ....they get stuck with a 3 year commitment as opposed to the two years left in my current commitment.
Keep useing it and have it added to my expense account,... employer must be willing to do this.
Have my daugther/son/wife start using the phone for the balance of the agreement.
Change it to a pay as you go, not sure if that works as well.
Like yourself I am a long time Bell customer....35+ years
