[April 24, 2008] CellPlanDepot.com establishes new online community offering people a penalty-free way out of their cell phone contract Tweet (Canada Newswire English Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Attention News Editors MONTREAL, April 24 /CNW Telbec/ - - "www.CellPlanDepot.com offers Canadian cell phone subscribers a penalty-free way out of their contracts" - www.Cellplandepot.com has launched an innovative online service that solves a large problem. Now over 19 million cell phone subscribers have a way out of their cell phone contract without paying early termination fees. National service providers such as Rogers Wireless, Bell Mobility and Telus require a 1-4 year service agreement when you sign a contract. The early termination fees that cell phone customers have to pay to get out of their contract early has nearly doubled in the last year, now ranging from $100 to as much as $700 plus tax per phone line. Why this dramatic increase? To discourage customer migration following the Canadian launch of wireless number portability on March 7th, 2007. The Canadian Wireless Spectrum Auction this May will introduce a fourth national wireless player. In theory, this is good news for cellular subscribers, as it will increase competition and possibly lower prices. But those stuck in a contract will be forced to either pay up or find someone to assume responsibility for their contract. "With the launch of new wireless technology such as Apple's iphone there is no question that people want the freedom to switch carriers as they please. If you're moving, have a corporate plan, found a better plan or are simply dissatisfied with your cell phone company, you can turn to our service for a solution" says Shane Theriault, founder of www.CellPlanDepot.com. www.CellPlanDepot.com unites millions of cell phone users in a win-win proposition. People looking for a short-term cell phone contract with incentives - "Plan Seekers" - are paired with those looking to drop their contract - "Plan Droppers". The Plan Seekers save on sign-up fees and profit from incentives such as free cell phones and accessories, or even cash from members dropping their plans. Plan Droppers save on steep early termination fees. "If you were to cancel your cell phone contract today, you would be billed by your service provider for the coming month. Odds are you would still have an active line for a good period of time. There is no cost to become a member and list your plan. Why not give it a try and say "so long" to early termination fees?" says Shane Theriault.
