CellSwapper is a social network to help you get out of your mobile service contract.
You post your details, and someone else takes it on.
This is especially interesting given the number of people saying "man, I really want to switch to cingular now for the iPhone".
According to the US Public Interest Research Group, nearly half of all US cellular phone customers would switch, or consider switching, their current service carrier if they did not have to pay an early termination penalty of up to $240.
CellSwapper.com transfers the remainder of a contract to another interested party. It is a win-win situation, as unsatisfied customer gets out of their unwanted contact and the assuming party gets a free, short-term contract - as low as 1 month - without having to pay the hefty activation fee usually incurred with a new service plan.
