Check out with your cell phone supplier the cost of ending your contract. It’s a question everyone should ask before they sign a contract but in all the excitement of a new phone and a new service, it can get easily forgotten. I checked with my supplier Rogers, in Canada, and found that it will cost me a cool $500 to end my contract. That’s a lot of money just for ending a puny cell phone contract. It really just shows how powerful these big cell phone providers are. Imagine if you lost your job and then were faced with a $500 bill for ending a cell phone contract? I am sure you could find better uses for your money. This is one reason prepaid, no contract cell phone service makes better sense. You are in control not your provider.
