Criteria for getting a cell phone is much more relaxed than requirements for something like a mortgage or car loan. Many companies issue phones regardless of your credit score.

Does canceling a cell phone contract early but paying the associated fees damage your credit score?
I would assume not for the simple fact it's not a loan you're terminating. Cell phone companies and the like go by your payment history, not necessarily the fact you might have bad credit as a score may show. Just make sure you pay all final and applicable fees as those CAN hurt your credit if unpaid and sent to collections.
How do you raise your credit score without credit cards?
You have to have active accounts in order to have a credit score. Your credit score can reflect your payments history on installment loans. Pay whatever accounts you have in a timely manner. Control and limit inquiries. Stay away from finance companies. Your score will not be as high as someone who has revolving credit accounts and manages them well. But you will have a score that reflects how you manage the credit you do have. If you have a mortgage, car payment, school loans, and sometimes even cell phone or utility bills that you pay on time, that will raise your credit score.
