That's outrageous! In response (and so no one else suffers a similar fate), I wanted to write a follow-up post on the topic of cutting cell costs. Specifically, thousands of people are achieving substantial wireless savings through the website <a href="http://www.fixmycellbill.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fixmycellbill.com</a> (by a company that I work for called Validas) that on average currently saves T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and US Cellular customers 22 percent, equating to $482 annually, off their cell bills.<br><br>Here's a quick breakdown of how it actually works. Validas analyzes your online cell bill for free and calculates how much money you could be saving. It turns out that eight of ten wireless customers are paying more than they need to for their plans. Validas fixes these discrepancies by tailoring a customer's plan to fit their specific needs. If you choose, Validas provides a highly detailed and personalized adjustment report that, for five bucks, is emailed to your wireless provider in industry specific format in order to implement Validas's cash saving changes to your plan. If Validas can save you more than $5 on your bill, then this obviously provides a very cost effective solution. <br><br>Validas is becoming known as the preeminent advocate for the wireless consumer. Check out a feature about Validas on The Big Idea with CNBC's Donny Deutsch at <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/22782456/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnbc.com/id/22782456/</a>. Validas has also been profiled in the New York Times and Business Week. <br> <br>Happy holidays, and good luck to everyone reading on lowering your cell bills.<br> <br>Dylan<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dylan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 12:39AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
