"Going the non-contract route for cell service
Are you overpaying for your cell phone service? Carriers love to lock customers in contracts because then you're obligated to a much more expensive plan than you typically need. 

There are a variety of non-contract plans out in the marketplace that can be a real benefit to consumers. 

If you use less than 300 minutes/month, you'd probably do much better with a pre-paid plan where you buy minutes as you need them. Net10.com is one service Clark particularly likes in this arena. There are no roaming charges and Net10 only costs 10 cents/minute. 

If you're use more than 300 minutes/month and travel from time to time, you might want to consider Metro PCS or Cricket. 

Finally, for heavy cell users, Clark likes Boost Unlimited. They have an all-inclusive $50/month plan that beats many of the big carriers. The only drawback is slightly outdated web surfing capabilities. 

Of course, you can port your existing number over from any of the Big 4 carriers -- whether you're currently with AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint or Verizon. Just watch for those early termination fees!"
