Swapping cellphone contracts?

January 12th, 2007

Cell contracts suck.  Virgin Mobile knows this and offers no-strings-attached plans.  For those of us using other carriers, you can get out of that nonsense contract through Cellswapper (if you’re in the US).  Great idea, I just have to move to the US to use it - yikes.

There are similar sites out there for all sorts of contract jumping, including ReLeaseMe, which helps you get out of the lease you were pressured into by the sales guy.  However, there is a gap in Cellswapper idea - someone needs to build a tool that will tell you exactly how much you will pay given a rate plan.  This tool would be invaluable - you input your local minutes, long distance minutes, and options you want, and it spits out your monthly cost for various rate plans with various providers.

Everyone would use something like this every so often, wouldn’t they?  I would..  I should build one..  I’ll let you know if I do.

    I will be dumping my cell phone contract when the i phone comes out but I will be using Celltradeusa.com
    I used celltrade last year to get into my Verizon Wireless Contract and now I`ll be using them to get out…
    Good luck building that rate plan tool :)
