The Cell Phone Consumer Empowerment Act (S. 2033), introduced by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), would have required wireless service providers to share simple, clear information on their services and charges with customers before they enter into long-term contracts.

It would also have established a thirty-day window during which consumers could exit a contract without early termination fees, and it required greater flexibility for consumers who want to exit contracts with services that don't meet their needs.
