<p><a href="http://www.billshrink.com/">Billshrink.com</a>, a site that helps consumers find ways to save on their cell phone bills, filed its comment on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“The plans are complicated,” said Billshrink president and co-founder Schwark Satyavolu, “and there’s no way for consumers to stay on top of that.”</p>
<p>Billshrink said in its statement that the average cellphone subscriber overspends by $300 a year. It continued, saying that it had found $800 million in potential cell savings in the past five months.</p>
<p>Billshrink calls for more transparent billing, including clearer information about contract termination and coverage, as well as better information on how to modify existing contracts.</p>
<p>Considering that CNET has a <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11288_7-6464118-1.html?">five-part article</a> on how to understand your cell phone bill, we’d say that maybe Billshrink has a point. Then again, the very existence of a service like Billshrink kinda proves its own point.</p>
