Ok, you all have a homework assignment. In light of our post yesterday about cellphone number portability and how some cellular carriers are using it as an excuse to squeeze even more money out of their customers, we’re compiling a list of which cellphone companies are tacking on new monthly “portability” fees (which you have to pay even if you don’t plan to switch carriers), and if they are, how much they’re gouging us for. So go take a close look at your most recent bill and let us know if there are any suspicious new charges on there. If you find anything, write to us at [email protected] and let us know who your carrier is and how much they’re charging.
[Thanks to reader Aaron G. for the suggestion]
UPDATE: Ok, we’ve gotten all the info we needed. I’ll be compiling what we got and posting the results soon. Thanks everyone!
