Clark Howard's Tips

Get out of your cell contract for free

March 17, 2006

Clark has gotten lots of calls from people who learn the hard way that they can't get out of their cell phone contract unless they pay a huge fee. All that is about to change.

Let's say you're with company A and you want to be with company B. As luck would have it, someone else wants out of company B and wants to be with company A. It is possible now to swap without having to pay any fees.

According to Money Magazine, celltradeusa.com acts as an intermediary between the cell phone company and the two parties. Clark has checked it out and says it all looks legit.

Of course, the best deal of all is to go with the two providers that do not require a contract in the first place. Those are Cricket Communications and Metro PCS.

Having no contract beats having to get out of one any day.
