I found out about the Validas website, www.fixmycellbill.com, while in the middle of dealing with my own Verizon bills. I turned out to be one of the eight in ten wireless customers paying more than I needed to. As you mentioned, Validas fixes this kind of discrepancy by tailoring a customer's plan to fit their specific needs. Importantly, Validas analyzes a customer's uploaded online bill to determine their potential savings for free. If the customer chooses, for five bucks, an email is sent to their wireless provider in industry specific format so they can actually implement these cash saving changes. If Validas can save the customer more than $5 on their bill, this obviously provides a very cost effective solution. Validas saves me personally over 230 dollars per year on my Verizon plan. That almost works out to getting a free month of my plan each year. To put these figures in perspective, the average Validas user currently saves $487 annually through the service so I'm no exception. I was personally so impressed with my Validas savings that I jumped at the chance to work for the company when the opportunity presented itself. Validas is rapidly becoming considered an advocate for the wireless customer. Check out a feature on Validas on The Big Idea with CNBC's Donny Deutsch at http://www.cnbc.com/id/22782456/. Any cell subscriber who wants to cut costs should consider this service. It’s free to consult and you only stand to save. Good luck to everyone on cutting their wireless bills. Dylan Kyle,

I always get good deals on plans, and I've never paid anything for any of my phones. that's $0 for each phone I sign for. You don't need to switch. Look for a better plan from another carrier and then you call your carrier and tell them that you are thinking of changing plans to the other carrier because it's cheaper. They will already have a solution for this because they plan it in their marketing department which usually means you'll get a cheaper unadvertised plan. Also don't worry about the 3 year contract as this is rarely as bad as it seems and even though everytime I get a free phone I sign for 3 years, I always get at least 1 free phone a year. If you want a free smart phone and consequentially free calling between family members, add your family to your plan. The more phones you have the more they will want to keep you there. You can either try the trick above but mention that Such and such a carrier has the phone you want and will give it to you for free when you signup, or you can just outright ask to speak to the "Loyalty Department". These guys can grant you anything I got all my phones for free and I still have 3 or 4 credits for new phones that I haven't used. I also got my first Blackberry (8703e) and then the world phone (8830), the curve (8330) and right now i have a credit for the Storm! So I don't think you should ever switch carriers because you'll loose your history with them, you might even loose your number and they probably won't call you to switch back unless you paid them oodles of money for your phone when you were with them. Just my two cents. Wow this is probably the worst advice I have ever heard about dealing with carriers.
