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.

If you don't want to spend $5 a month for cell phone insurance, but still want some coverage, this might be an easy way to do it.

T-Mobile completely overhauled their cell phone plans today, droppping 'myFaves' and simplifying to just 3 plans each for individual and family plans. The highlight is a new low-water price point for contract unlimited voice service -- just $59.99 for one line and $99.99 for a two-line family plan. All plans include unlimited mobile-to-mobile and free nights and weekends. On a per-line basis, unlimited text messaging is $10.00. The optional data feature is an addit

At long last, AT&T has made picture and video messaging available on the iPhone. For those who already have a text messaging package, these message types are included in the plan and are treated like text messages.
To receive the new capability, you'll need to connect the iPhone to your computer and download the latest update from Apple.

Shipped directly from AT&T with priority two-day free shipping. Requires new two-year AT&T service. Per AT&T, “refurbished phones are previously owned devices that have been unused or lightly used and returned during the 30-day trial period.”

Correction added 9/11: This offer is a bit better than we originally thought. Despite specifically indicating in the press release that this new service applies to calls “from the Sprint network”, it actually applies to both inbound and outbound calls between two wireless phones.

Starting September 6, new AT&T customers who purchase a smartphone or BlackBerry, as well as existing AT&T customers that upgrade to one of those devices will be required to purchase a $30 data plan with their phone. This requirement puts AT&T in line with the other major carriers, all of whom have had this requirement for a while (although pricing varies by carrier). Until now, AT&T had only required a data plan for the iPhone, one that is built into a separate series of plans available for that device.
