Ditch Your Cell Phone Contract Early


Need to get out of your cell phone contract but can't afford the termination fee? If the service where you use your phone is spotty, such as at work, in your basement, in a far-flung field, make repeated complaints to customer service and then demand to be let go. Or look at your carrier's coverage map, find where it has none, and tell it you're moving there -- the company is obligated to release you if it can't offer service. If you can find it in your contract's fine print, another option is to wait for a rate increase on a part of your plan and claim it's a "materially adverse change" -- your carrier can't force you to stay once it charges you extra.
