No Cingular did not allow customers to dip out without paying a ETF. There was some confusion right after the announcement, but the official stance was that text messaging is a "non-essential" service and doesn't apply as a "material change". Obviously a lot of customers disagreed. The vast majority probably just wanted to skip out on their contracts early--I doubt any real text user would be stuck paying $.10 a pop anyway.
