Get Out Of Phone Contract – No Penalty

I have very little use for the cell phone and I do not text.  I have more important things to do with my life.

I’ve had to accept the fact that both my wife and I need cell phones since we travel so much, but we both have no-contract, pay-as-you-go phones.

When people find out about this, they scoff.  We are fools for paying more when we could get a sweet annual contract from one of the major companies for only a few cents a day.

Of course, I’ve never heard of anyone who is happy with their phone contract.  They all seem to want a 2-year committment which is way too long when technology advances as quickly as it does.

Then they end up paying penalties for ending the contract early and switching to something else.  And if they have complaints about service or features, they can’t just switch immediately — they feel they are stuck.

So who’s the sucker, Mr. Stucker?

Well, now with a new round of regulations giving phone companies the right to charge for the amount of internet usage you access, people are really getting uptight.

I just saw a great article that provides a loophole where you can get out of your AT&T contract immediately with no penalty.

I hope this eases the sting of being stuck with a major phone contract.
