Little Miss Fortune: A site that makes saving money a little too easy

I think I just saved myself $115 a year on my cell phone bill—but the process was so ridiculously painless that I suspect I may have inadvertently sold my soul to the devil or purchased a timeshare. Here’s how I did it:

I typed my cell phone account info into BillShrink, waited 30 seconds, and then got five recommendations for plans that would save me money, according to an analysis of my previous usage. The top plan—the one that’s allegedly going to save me $115 a year—had a Shrinkage Score of 100, based on the signal quality in the zip codes I live and work in and the overall savings. So I clicked “Get this plan,” which sent me to my cell phone carrier’s site, and signed up.

Does this sound totally insane to you guys? Has anyone changed their cell phone plan using BillShrink? Can someone else try this, please? I mean, it can’t save everyone money, right? (And if someone wants to check the fine print in the Terms of Use and let me know if BillShrink now has permission to sell me as a mail-order bride or something, that would be great. Thanks.)
