If you’re near the end of your contract don’t feel pressured to just renew with your old carrier. You may be paying too much for your cellphone plan or even for your next upgrade. So here are my tips:

1. Check out websites like billshrink.com where you can compare your options on all the major carriers.

2. Prior to going to the store, check for deals you might get on new phones. Also look up specifications and reviews on the particular phone you want.

3. Get your phones from retailers that sell phones from all the major carriers. Basically, you can get the same exact phone from a Costco or Radio Shack $10 to $100 less than a traditional Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon store.

4. Request if the store associate can run your credit check on all the carriers. If you have “not so perfect” or “no” credit you might be surprised with the savings you get by switching carriers or sticking to your carrier.

5. If you end up staying with your original carrier call the actual Customer Care and see if you can get a “customer loyalty discount”.

These my five useful tips to upgrading or getting a new cell phone plan.
