I really don't see the big issues with contracts? Explain to me why contracts are a problem.

1. Cheaper, you'll save a lot more money in the long run. My sprint bill was $90, now I'm paying $30 for practically the same thing (with better service but that's beyond the point.)

2. Freedom. Don't like your service? Change it, without having to worry about being stuck for years or having to pay a etf.

3. No carrier woes. Having a unlocked gsm phone means no bloatware, no restrictions. The manufacturer sends updates straight to your phone the day its released, meaning your phone will have more value and a longer shelf life and you don't have to wait for a carrier to approve of the update before you get it. In most cases the carrier purposely avoid updating phones because they want you to buy a new one.

4. Use the money you saved on better devices if you please.

Whats some good non contract services.....I mean I know of the cheap bad ones....but are there any thats on par with the big three as far as call and data goes.....when my contract is up, I plan on switching from Sprint to Verizon but never thought of a pre-paid no-contract as an option.

I dont even mind paying 70-80 a month but the notion that I am obligated to pay a phone company every month for two years is nuts

Which pre-paid plans offer unlimited data without any throttling?

Check that first link. Straight talk, $40 unlimited everything and you can choose from either T-Mobile or Att service. T-Mobile prepaid is among the best as well, they have stepped their game up tremendously..I have a $30 plan with them with unlimited data and text and 100 mins. I just use VoIP apps if I need to be on the phone for extended periods of time

The savings are convincing. I may look into it. I believe AT&T still has superior service though.

T-Mobile at the moment is vastly better than att. T-Mobile hspa+ speeds are faster and more consistent. Up to 42mbs on T-Mobile and 22mbs on att. Also T-Mobile has the fastest 3g network, meaning you'll never have to worry about speeds. I can testify to that.

What's wrong wit contracts? What I notice about prepaid plan that there quick to cut u off when you owe money.....

Hold up b....How you owe money on a prepaid breh :wtf:

You pay in advance, you get service. Simple.

Edit: you rather owe money on a contract, have them cut off your phone and they still bill you for months your shyt been cut off because you can't catch up before they terminate your contract?? :russ:

nah its not rape if youre getting unlimited. at that point if you tether you dont even need to pay for internet at home and will get faster speeds than most wifi networks.

but yeah, capped data for 70-80 a month is a joke
