Cell phone billing and contracts may be one of the more confusing things we deal with on a regular basis. The bills often contain taxes and add-on charges that lack clarity or simply don’t make sense. Tax rates vary by state and occasionally enter double digit ranges more commonly associated with credit cards. Contracts aren’t much easier to figure out, with tons of fine print the average consumer will never read and break fees that aren’t clearly spelled out at the time of sale. MyWireless.org is one organization actively working to help consumers both save money on their cell phone bills as well as educate consumers about what they should watch out for when buying into a cell phone plan. At the Showstoppers press event preceding CTIA Wireless 2006, Jake talked with Erin McGee of MyWireless.org about their role in consumer advocacy and education and what people can do to make better cell phone buying decisions.
