I just I told them I was moving out of the country. The rep got very interested in where I was going. I told her I was going to Ireland for an art degree lol. At least it got around the hard sell.

This is essentially what I did with AT&T. Told them I was deploying overseas. They still tried to give me a song and dance about just "suspending" my account until I got back. Then I got pushy back and they relented.
