Earlier this week, Verizon Wireless announced that its per-message texting rates would go from 15 to 20 cents for customers who don't have a text-messaging bundle plan.
Those sly dogs over at The Consumerist and Slick Deals found something extra in the change: a chance to end your contract before your term is up, free of early termination fees. According to The Consumerist, the rate hike constitutes a "materially adverse" change to the contract, meaning that this is technically a new contract and you have the choice to say yea or nay to it. For a blow-by-blow on how to cancel your service, check out the Slick Deals post, so you know how to play tough with the customer service reps.
