Today I was so relieved to finally port my number from my contract cellphone to a prepaid (pay as you go) phone. Yippee!

So what does this mean to me?

• It basically means I'm not going to be ripped off again with huge mobile phone monthly bills from service providers.
• It also means that I'm not going to be enslaved in a 2 year cellular phone contract.
• I can buy airtime as I see fit and on my terms.
• This account is another one off my back and I can move forward to become a 100% debt free man

If you seriously want to become debt free then you will even clear your mobile phone contract and buy pay as you go airtime.

I know a contract might be convenient in sense that you don't have to every time go buy airtime, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make and a small price to pay. The bottom line is I don't want to be enslaved by unnecessary debt.

Where I got fed up with cellphone contracts was when I paid my bills every month and it was huge ones, I got a couple of times letter of demand letters. It is not only annoying, but I didn't like to be hassled with nonsense like this especially if you got a very good credit rating, like me and I always pay my bills.

So I decided enough is enough and simply I just finished my cellphone contact and ported my number (kept old number) and the rest is history.

I won't advise anybody to tie themselves down with mobile phone contracts. I know the deals are tempting e.g. free cellphones, gift voucher, gifts etc. but from personal experience with cellphone contracts it is not worth it at the end.

Save up and buy the phone cash or buy a cheap cellular phone and just get yourself a pay as you go phone sim card and as simple as that you will not impress your friends, but yourself.

Why? because you on your way to become a 100% debt free man, woman or kid.

If I can do it then you can do it also. Simple.
