We’re constantly being asked for advice on how people can get out of cell phone contracts early without being knocked upside the noggin with a brass-knuckled early termination fee.

Unfortunately, there are not many ways around that ETF, so a growing number of web sites have popped up offering to match disgruntled in-contract users who want out of their contracts with people looking to switch providers without having to lock in to a full two-year contract.

None of us have tried these services — like TradeMyCellular, CellTradeUSA, or CellSwapper to name a few — but we figured at least a few of you out there might have given it a chance.

If so, and you wouldn’t mind answering a couple of questions via e-mail, shoot us a message at tips@consumerist.com with “CELL TRADE” in the subject line.
