Legal
Affiliate disclosure
Portinout may earn a commission when a user switches plans, buys a phone, or uses a trade-in referral link. Recommendation ranking is designed around user value, not commission.
Possible commissions
- Plan affiliate commissions when a user switches through a link.
- Phone purchase affiliate commissions through carriers or retailers.
- Buyback or trade-in referral commissions.
- Advertising, sponsorship, or referral revenue from telecom-related partners.
Ranking policy
- Affiliate commission status does not affect recommendation order.
- Rankings are determined by true total cost, coverage confidence, and feature match.
- Affiliate status is disclosed on recommendations when applicable.
- Portinout may still link to non-affiliate options when they appear to be the better fit.
User responsibility
- Users should confirm final plan prices, device prices, financing terms, bill credits, trade-in conditions, coverage, taxes, fees, and eligibility before buying or switching.
- A commission relationship does not mean Portinout controls a carrier, retailer, promotion, device, trade-in quote, shipping timeline, approval decision, or customer support outcome.
- Carrier and retailer terms can change after Portinout publishes a recommendation or guide.
Editorial separation
- Portinout's savings math, recommendation scoring, and ranking explanations are designed to operate separately from affiliate payout data.
- Affiliate availability may affect whether a tracked outbound link exists, but should not affect whether an option can be evaluated.
- Questions about a specific relationship can be sent to hello@portinout.com.
