CellTradeUSA.com - Trade Cell Phone Plans

CellTradeUSA.com is the first site ever developed to facilitate the exchange of cell phone plans. As a “Get Out” member, you can leave your current plan without paying hefty early termination fees, and as a “Get In” member, this site offers you the chance to find a better deal than you would on your own, since you take over another members remaining contract obligation instead of starting your own from scratch. Get In members pay nothing, while Get Out members can register for free, to gauge interest in the contract they are offering, but must pay $19.99 to get full access or to complete a transaction. The site works with all cellular provides in the U.S., which are legally obligated to assist with the transfer of contract responsibility once asked to by the two parties involved. Get In and Get Out members are free to decide the terms of their contract transfer on their own; some Get Out members choose to offer cash, a phone, or other incentives to whomever agrees to take over their cellular contract.

“Celltradeusa.com has pioneered a new cellular category that will forever change the way the world views cell phone contracts. We have developed the world's first online community that gets dissatisfied cell phone customers out of their service contract. Celltradeusa.com provides this service through an incentive based system that connects millions of cellular customers nationwide that want to Get Out with those that want to Get In.”

The $19.99 fee that CellTradeUSA.com charges Get Out members is a drop in the bucket compared to the ridiculous early termination fees charged by many cellular provides, so this site should be appealing to those looking to get out of their contracts. It could also be quite beneficial to the Get In members, who can sign on for just the remaining months of someone else’s contract, or reap some of the benefits cell companies offer to existing customers but not to new ones. The company was founded in 2003 and claims to have already facilitated millions of exchanges.

Will people be frustrated or dissuaded by the fact that CellTradeUSA.com only helps you find someone to exchange with, while you must still complete the transfer process, paperwork, etc. with your cell phone provider on your own? When cash, a phone, or other incentives are offered by the Get Out member, does this site have any way of guaranteeing to the Get In member that the Get Out member will follow through?
