Validas Services

Validas provides a service to our users whereby we analyze the user’s mobile phone bill to determine whether the billing has been completed properly and also to provide recommendations about means to achieve potential savings. These services are provided pursuant to the terms of our User Subscription Agreement. Validas is an independent company. We strive to collect the most current information available about mobile phone pricing options to provide you with neutral analysis to obtain economical usage plans to meet your needs. If you choose to purchase our services, Validas cannot guarantee that you will achieve any savings. We are not your carrier and we are not in a position to negotiate with your carrier. Any modifications or corrections to your billing or contract will need to be discussed directly with your carrier. Validas is solely a provider of information which will better position you to make a request for credits or changes to your plan or investigate whether you should switch to a new carrier.
