How to Get Out of Your Cell Phone Contract for Free

Celltrade
Cell Phone contracts are almost as dependable as death and taxes. If you have ever wanted to get out of your cell phone contract with out having to pay an early terminiation fee, then you know that the easiest way to do that (and one of the only ways) is by transferring your contract’s responcibility to someone else. CellSwapper and CellTradeUSA are services that help you find people to transfer your contract over too, or conversely, they assist you in finding someone’s contract to take over.
Just wait till the carriers get a hold of this one… (Source: Cnet)

    Just thought I would through in my 2 cents about celltradeusa :-) I was referred to celltradeusa.com by a manager in the customer retention dept at Verizon Wireless. I used the service about 5 weeks ago and it did work. I went through a couple people before I found someone credit worthy to Verizon’s standards. Total time took about 1 week “lol” but I would say I was very happy with the service. I also used the site to get into T-mobile contract that someone else had that only had 4 months left ” boo yah ” plus he gave me blk razor,blue tooth,belt clip and car charger. The transfer process took about 30 minutes and was really easy with T-mobile.

    So I would say I`m a fan for life :-)
    Hope this Helps…

    Thx,
    MC

    I have looked at both of these sites, and in fact emailed a couple of the people listing there who want out but have not gotten a response. One persons email bounced as undeliverable. I want “in” on a verizon contract. What if I do find someone, but the person lives across the country from me and don’t send me the phone and accessories after I assume their contract? Then I’m “In” alright. In a mess. Any thoughts on this?

    I need to get out of this contract because I got an iphone. The phone I have is an old samsung but there are many cheap phones that you would qualify for since I haven’t gotten a new phone in the last year. Let me know if you would like to take over my contract.

    I have a Razor V3xx with AT&T. My contract is for 18 more months. AT&T told me that if someone takes it over they will only have to signa contract for 11 months. I recently went to Verizon because all my friends and family are “in” and I am going to their Truly Unlimited Calling Plan. That way I can get rid of the home phone too.
    My Razor is Gold, in excellent cosmetic condition, no scratches or dings. Where you charge your phone the USB cover has broken off. It also comes with the software for the phone, USB cable, charger, car charger, box, original paperwork, two new batteries, one that I move back and forth when battery goes dead and original OEM holster I guess all in all I there is $250.00 worth of stuff in this phone. I would like to get $125 for it, plus take over the contract. If you are interested send me an email and we will get the ball rolling. I am an honest person and will ship out as soon as the contract is complete. Upon request I will send you link to my Ebay feedback , with over 800 positives.
