    I want to end my cell phone contract

    Once the two year contract is over, you should be moved to M2M automatically. The two year is only the obligatory period by which you get the phone for free (or at a reduced cost). Once it's over, you just continue with it with your original phone and cancel it once you no longer need them.

    In-ear canal buds for small ear canals?

    I missed this part. Are you sure your ear canals are too small? I had a problem with my UEs popping out and the sound going tinny all the time. I tried the double flange and the smallest ones they packaged thinking I wasn't getting it far enough into the canal because I had small canals...

    I wouldn't know about this.
