**you STILL HAVE TO PAY THE MONTHLY FEE if you buy an unlocked phone without a contract**
Why can't people get this through their heads?? The contract makes it CHEAPER because you are paying less up front. The only benefit to not having a contract, is that you can hop from carrier to carrier, which is great, especially if you travel. Now would I prefer to have an unlocked phone and no contract for the same price? Sure, but that isnt the case.
sigh, it is just that this argument gets trotted out every time and it defies logic.
Wat? No contract=no monthly fee.
Contract = save money on phone. I understand that. However you get crappy branded phones. Wooohooo. Authorized Asian resellers FTW.
