If you are under an installment plan for your devices, the cancellation policy states that you will have to pay any unpaid, remaining balance as soon as you cancel your account.

However, you can always try to contact AT&T Wireless and negotiate a payment plan if you have extenuating circumstances.

For those who have no installment plan, and the phone is paid off, be advised, they might let you cancel your account with AT&T wireless, but there might be a hefty AT&T cancellation fee .
