Cingular --- no service

I was an AT&T customer. I was 1 month away from the end of my contract and was sold on CIngular (since they were merging and would have better service). Service with AT&T wasnt great (especially at my home where i need it most due to my business) but CIngular told me to wait a few weeks til the merger was done to enjoy full benefits of both providers. I did wait and it hasnt gotten better, worse even! Under contract i have 30 days to try out the service, its been 7 months.

Is there anything I can do to get out of my contract and not pay the $175? The service is horrible, I drop business calls, its affecting my income!

Thank you,

Apparently "enjoying the full benefits" means having no service.

If you're really losing income, clearly it's cheaper to pay the exit fee and move on.

Yeah, I get that. But at some point his attempt to save $175 will be outstripped by the income he's lost by not having cell service. A businessman is going to cut his losses and look for the cheapest exit.
