Thanks Ecureilx for your constructive legal advice. I did read another entry where someone politely and clearly explained that Starhub waived their fees in a similar situation.

Hi All, Hoping some legal whizz can help me here. My wife is locked into an upgraded 24 month Singtel contract (new Blackberry handset + data plan) which she signed in April 2011.
