The cell phone companies make directory assistance almost effortless…dial 411… get the information… and get connected automatically. Of course, if someone paid you $1.79 (Sprint, T-Mobile) or $1.99 (AT&T, Verizon) for each 411 call, you’d make it easy for them to connect as well.
Directory assistance charges can really add up: 10 calls a month comes out to over $200 a year.

We’ve created a new tool to let consumers calculate the termination fee associated with their cell phone contract. The calculator takes into account variables such as contract period, carrier and device type to customize an answer specific to each person’s situation. You can try out the early termination fee calculator on the site or see the termination fee schedules of all four national carriers.

Verizon has apparently reduced the number of phones subject to the $350 early termination fee for advanced devices. This termination fee, double the standard $175, was added for new contracts and renewals associated with these devices as of November 15, 2009. The current list appears to be limited to smartphones (including BlackBerry and Android devices) and netbooks. A review of a prior version of the schedule showed that as of last Friday this list contained a number of multimedia devices such as the LG enV Touch and Samsung Rogue.

AT&T and Verizon have lowered their unlimited pricing to $69.99/month, $89.99 for unlimited voice & text, $99.99 for unlimited voice, text and data. Similar decreases are also in effect on the family plan side, where two unlimited lines are $119.99 vs. the previous $199.99. This is a decrease of about 30% for a single line, 40% for a family plan. Verizon also reduced its 2,100 minute plan to 2,000 minutes, and cut the price by $10. The carriers are allowing customers to change to these rate plans with no penalty or contract extension.
