What happens if you switch cell phone providers before your contract is up?

Answer 1

If you leave them early there will be an early termination fee ranging from anywhere from $150 to $200 depending on the carrier.
It will be billed on the final bill so you can leave without paying it but your going to be stuck with that charge unless your leaving their service area. Some carriers reqire proof that you have moved to an area without service.

Answer 2

You lose a lot of money. The cell phone companies generally make you sign a contract to help defray the cost of the cell phone you selected. If you leave their service early, it will probably cost you a couple hundred dollars.
