I was a T-Mobile customer from the time VoiceStream started up until  
we moved to Israel in Aug, 2005.  I was always happy with them, and  
reception in the Baltimore-Washington corridor was fantastic.  I  
purchased a new phone from them about 5 months before we moved out of  
the country, and that started me on a new 1-year contract, after being  
contract-free for a long time.

When we moved, I called to cancel our service, and was told that since  
I was leaving their service area, there would be no early termination  
fee.  All I had to do was fax proof that we were living someplace they  
don't offer service.  The Israel immigration visas in our passports  
would suffice, so I did.

About 5 months later I received a call on our home phone (our old  
Baltimore number, which rings here in Israel) from a collections  
agency, demanding the $900 I owed T-Mobile.  As far as I know, that's  
now a black mark on my credit history, but I'm not paying.  They can  
come here to collect it.
