Please note you don't get any contact info about the buyer unless you make a pymt. Looks like these guys at cellswapper are running some scam. Once the buyer shows interest I PAID $19. As I made my pymt, the buyer became non responsive....hmmm looks like someone went into hibernation with that $19. Jer, You are WRONG and Evee is RIGHT.

I actually used Cellswapper to get out of my AT&T plan and it worked for me. The buyer of my contract only needed to sign an 11 month contract instead of the usual 24. He was desperate to get out of his Sprint plan, which i took over, and was very willing to do it. Also the fee was only required after we both confirmed that we wanted to do the deed not just for mere communication. Excuse me miss Evee, but your comment has some bad information in it.

I don't know how it works with other providers, but with Cingular the person taking over your contract has to agree to fulfill the remaining months on your contract in addition to signing another 11-month contract. No one wants to do that - they might as well sign a brand new contract themselves. Also, cellswapper requires that you pay an $18.95 fee to just correspond with the buyer. I personally think this fee should only apply when a successful transfer is complete. My personal opinion - waste of time and money. I recently tried cellswapper and it doesn’t work.

What do you feel about that. Someone else who starts it tomorrow is equally likely. Why I ask that is because I think such services might do great in India but then how do you make money for long How's it going otherwise Gaurav Hi Oliver
