From the XDA forums:
1. Effective 4/1/13, Sprint will be changing tax systems for charges such as insurance & premium content. This update may cause an increase of taxes and/or surcharges on your bill for these products. For details of taxes & surcharges, visit sprint.com/taxesandfees ."
2. A surcharge increase would be a change in contract on sprint's part, allowing you to get out without paying an Early Termination Fee. A tax increase would not be considered a "change in contract."
3. Surcharge increases vary regionally.
'4. Per sprint: Your Right To Change The Agreement & Your Related Rights We may change any part of the Agreement at any time, including, but not limited to, rates, charges, how we calculate charges, discounts, coverage, technologies used to provide services, or your terms of Service. We will provide you notice of material changes?and we may provide you notice of non-material changes?in a manner consistent with this Agreement (see "Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement" section). If a change we make to the Agreement is material and has a material adverse effect on Services under your Term Commitment, you may terminate each line of Service materially affected without incurring an Early Termination Fee only if you: (a) call us within 30 days after the effective date of the change; and (b) specifically advise us that you wish to cancel Services because of a material change to the Agreement that we have made. If you do not cancel Service within 30 days of the change, an Early Termination Fee will apply if you terminate Services before the end of any applicable Term Commitment.
5. You may be able to get sprint to note that your contract is "FULFILLED" without terminating your contract, and leaving sprint. Your Mileage Might Vary (YMMV). This may allow you to get perks such as phone upgrades, etc.
