Emerging cell phone issues
Consumer Action, a non-profit national consumer group, has highlighted five emerging cell phone issues likely to affect consumers this year.
1. Continued early termination fees, with only minor relief for some consumers.
2. Little change on overage fees of up to 45 cents a minute.
(You may be able to avoid this problem by using the free service “Over My Minutes” to get warnings when you are near your monthly ceiling on cell phone minutes.)
3. A jump in mandatory cell phone contract extensions as more young Americans use cell phones.
4. A backlash against out of control texting fees.
5. A shift away from scandal-plagued international calling cards for immigrants.
This list and a streaming audio recording related to it are available online.
