According to Statista (paywall), as of the spring of 2016, about 25 million wireless customers plan to change operators the following year. In fact, despite the steady growth in the industry, according to data collected by the research firm Strategy Analytics, fierce wireless released data showing about 6.7 million people leaving the top four operators each month.

We can infer from these figures that, even with the increasing demand for wireless services, millions of of mobile phone users are dissatisfied with the state of the industry. In fact, there is a reason for this dissatisfaction-several reasons:
From endless mystery fees to chaotic device options, each mobile provider claims to have the best, fastest, most reliable service, which is enough to make you dizzy. Don't worry, when all this is done, it might be a good thing for mobile users.
Why is the mobile industry so chaotic?
Do you know how this is done: when you decide on a perfect mobile plan, your carrier either stages it or introduces two more. The wireless plan seems to be circulating like a group of people through revolving doors. There is a lot of confusion between these ever-changing service plans. The start of the mobile industry starts with every minute of conversation, and is billed separately from each text we send or receive, and every megabyte of data.
Everything changed in 2006 and unlimited plans were put on the market. The problem is that the actual plan is not the most puzzling part. Choose a data bucket, choose Infinity, choose International services, or other services that suit your needs. Then a long, small clause, because that's what really binds you.

Read the contract
You are looking for the best deal not only on your plan, but also on your device. You may have noticed a two-year contract that no longer became popular; Instead, the rental equipment and the 24-month payment agreement filled the void. If you think your operator is in trouble if you don't sign the contract, you're wrong. In the past, on free or subsidized devices, you would have your phone right away. The price of such bonuses is higher upfront costs.
Now, if you choose to make a payment up front (usually in 18-24 months), you must trade with your phone in good condition. If you choose to be renting, you are the same: you want to trade your device if you want a new one or pay an extra fee (after the lease has been paid) to have it.
Don't worry, there's something more exciting. If you wish to take advantage of the four operators offered to pay off your contract or equipment, you must sign a new mobile instalment plan. From 2007 to 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cell phone bill expenditure increased by 355 $ per year, which was up 58.4% from the group inflation rate below 17%, at the same time period, in and out of each month for every about 80 $ (family plan will be different, this is the average).

Bottom line
Although information overload often causes mobile consumers to simply throw their hands and subscribe to whatever is offered by their operators, the truth is that competition breeds better deals.
Now all the major mobile providers are offering unlimited plans to have a crazy battle to get your business. This means there is a lot of rewards if you are ready to switch to another carrier.
As they say on Wall Street, low buy high sell. Make your phone plan when the competition is very intense, and don't be afraid to dump when your speed is out of control. If there are enough consumers to speak with their wallets, we can see a permanent change in the industry. (new discoveries of science and Technology, Constantine/Wen)
