Yeah I hate contracts. I'll do the installment plan for the phone, but I will never do a contract again.
Now see, to me that is a contract. Just in Verizon's favor to boot us off when they feel like it. We bought our son a new phone for Christmas on an installment plan. Saving $20 a month on the phone and is basically a contract. I can't pay the phone off and get it for what amounts to $400 versus $900 if I bought it outright.Yeah I hate contracts.

that's not true. if you were on contract when verizon implemented the extra $20 for unlimited line charge it didn't apply to you as you were still under contract. even better if you locked in the unlimited data $20 discount from 2010 your unlimited access fee is only $10 a month, that's what i'm paying now. you just had to renew the contract every time it was about to expire and no additional charges ever applied. i'm paying same right now, dollar to dollar as i did in 2010 for same service and i never paid more then $300 for new top of the line phone.Actually, those that were on contract buying discounted phones were paying $480 more for those discounted phones. Those on contract had to pay $40 per line per month for two years instead of the $20 per line that non-contract people pay
I actually went and switched today to T-Mobile all unlimited in USA/Canada/Mexico on 4 lines for $128 after taxes. Saved me about $50 a month and upgraded couple of our limited lines to all unlimited and kept all our Verizon Motorola phones. They seem to work just fine as strange as it sounds.
