Has anyone successfully canceled their service while under contract without early termination fees via this method?

I bought a tablet through T-Mobile with a two year contract at $50 a month. Bad idea, I know. I ended up regretting the monthly plan due to using it primarily at home on a wifi.

After 8 months, I luckily found out that T-Mobile was changing their pricing based on roaming charges. I called them to ask for a cancellation with no ETF. I explained to them that the change of terms is a cost change to how I use the tablet. Through a story of "I use this tablet in remote areas for work...", I was able to get it cancelled. It took two phone calls to make it happen, but I soon found out many others tried but failed to take this approach.

A person posted a comment on Reddit claiming to have done so: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1ewszk/att_just_...

I have no first hand experience myself but just happened to read that comment earlier today.
