Can the customer charge Cingular an early termination fee?
I'd sure as hell try, and make them defend themselves against it.

On the basis that I decided, when they accepted me as a customer, that
that was my policy.
Let them defend that one as they sign people up without having them sign
a single piece of paper.

Sure you can. Suppose they terminated a 2-year contract after 1 year, you
may be entitled to damages for breach-of-contract, fraud, misrepresentation.
etc. You probably have monetary damages, such as what you paid for phones
that are no longer useable or buying replacement phones, the costs of
switching to a new service, increased cost of the replacement service during
the balance of the term, and perhaps printing and publishing costs if you
lost your phone number. Just write them a letter "demand for payment"
listing those costs. Wait a month, then sue them in small claims court.
