Contract
Threaten to stop using your cell phone company for service and let them know exactly why you are unhappy. Some examples: cell phone company B is offering me [fill in the blank], I don't want to pay for text messages or my phone is acting up a lot. Nine times out of ten you'll get transferred to a salesperson in the retention department who has the ability adjust pricing and create a "custom" plan --all this just to keep your business!
Note: This really works best when your not under contract.

Next time you are out searching for an apartment or house with a new real estate broker, take a friend to save some cash. Generally, most real estate brokers make you sign paperwork saying if you decide to buy or rent anything they show you, they are entitled to a commission. Instead of signing the paperwork yourself, have your friend sign it. After looking at the apartment(s) you are not obligated to pay the broker anything -- you are free to try to contact the owner / landlord or even the buildings management company directly (usually listed on a plaque by the entrance). Although most real estate brokers suck, we trust you to take care of the good ones who work hard to find you your perfect home.
Want to get out of your cell phone contract without paying the outrageous fees? Cellswapper.com is here to help!
The site capitalizes on a loophole that lets users transfer their contract to someone else instead of paying early contract termination fees. That's right, as long as someone else is willing to sign-up for your plan, you do not have to pay any of the outrageous fees (can be up to $250). Acting as the "ebay for cell phones," they match buyers and sellers and help facilitate all the paperwork for a nominal fee. Click here to take advantage of the loophole. Remember, you can also acquire a short-term contract with cellswapper, it's not just for off-loading your plan.
Want to get out of your cell phone contract without paying the $150 to $200 in fees? It is all in the fine print. Most cell phone providers have a clause written in legal jargon that basically says, if we change the cost structure of your plan in an adverse way you can cancel your contract without paying the break-up fees. Go back and look at the fees and taxes on your bills -- more often than not if you have had your phone for 6-9 months the fees have changed. Call up and cancel based on those facts!
