Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas
Cell phone contract when no service is provided
When I lived in Texas, I signed a cell phone contract for one year. However, I moved to Montana, and that cell phone company does not provide service in this state at all. They offered me no solution except to ''sub-contract'' my cell phone to someone else in Texas. Via their customer service line, they told me I have to pay the cancellation fee or keep paying the monthly charge, or they will report me to the credit bureaus. I have written the company several times explaining that I have a phone service that is completely useless, but I receive no response. I don't see why I should have to continue paying for a service that is not being provided. Wouldn't the lack of service invalidate the contract?

Re: Cell phone contract when no service is provided
No. You signed a contract for services, and if you remained in Texas, you would have had the services. The fact that you moved does not invalidate your contract.
