potential problem with my phone service

[dotcom173]

ok well, i had t-mobile for just about 10 days. it was under the 14 day period where i can cancel without paying the 200 dollar fee. also, they gave me a refund on the phone and whatnot. everything was really easy to cancel. however, i just got the final bill in the mail for the cost of a whole month of service. am i supposed to have to pay for the whole month, when i only had it for 10 days? am i even supposed to pay any of it?

sorry if it's a dumb question. i just wanted to make sure before i pay it or call customer service.


EDIT: just realized there's a section for gadgets and phones that i should have posted in.

EDIT again: so i guess they didnt charge me for the full month, only like 2 weeks worth, which is fine. however, they charged me for the activation fee. does the activation fee get waived when u cancel, or does that still stand, since they did have to activate, whether or not i kept it?

Maybe you should try reading the terms of the contract you signed?

You pay the activation fee no matter what. You could try to get the sales rep who you bought it from to see if they could get you a credit for the activation fee, but consitering you just screwed them on a sales commission, gl with that.

Don't know about T-Mob, but with VZW the activation fee stands. I bet T-Mob and the rest of the major carriers are similar.
