Cancel your cell phone contract without termination fees?
You may be able to cancel your cell phone contract without paying nasty termination fees ($150? $200?) by getting the cell phone company to cancel you when you become unprofitable. How? You cause the cell phone company to pay roaming charges on your behalf that makes them lose money.
If you have one of those "no roaming charge" plans, that means you don't pay roaming charges but your provider still eats the charges, paying them to whatever carrier carries your calls. Rack up enough of those, and the provider will cancel your service. That's the theory anyway. Read more about it here.
