If you’re looking to drop your cell phone service provider but you’re reluctant to shell out early termination fees, head to www.cellswapper.com.

For a $14.95 success fee, you can transfer your plan to someone who is looking for a short-term cell phone commitment. Simply post your cell phone plan details on the site — with an optional incentive to buy (usually cash or your old phone) — and wait for someone to “swap in” to your plan. Once you’ve “swapped out,” you are no longer financially responsible for your cell phone plan.

Bonus: If you transfer your old plan using Cell Swapper then swap in to a new plan, the site refunds 25 percent of your original success fee.
