Cell

Don’t you hate it when you sign up for a longterm cellphone contract, only to find out how bad the service is after just a couple months of use? Or maybe there’s a new cellphone you want, but it’s not offered by your current carrier, and you’re trapped in your current plan? Historically, cellphones have been like wives. Upgrading to a younger model usually meant a big drain on the wallet. But not anymore!

Did you know you can leave your cell phone contract without paying any penalty fee? The secret to doing so, is finding someone that’s willing to buy your plan from you. Finding a buyer means saving on termination fees that typically run as much as $200 a line.

Websites like Celltrade provide a matchmaking service to get you hooked up with a buyer for as little as $20. That’ll leave you a nice couple hundred bucks in your pocket, for that snazzy new cellphone you have your eye on.
