^its good for them to do so, just passing along the cost of the device to the consumer.

Man I'm not too sure. So they are going to allow people to keep their Unlimited Data Plans? I really don't think so...AT&T has been trying to kill it off for a long time now.

This is good. Vetizon iphones are unlocked so if I want to try tmobile or att's service for a month i'll be good. The ability to switch will be nice.

What's the purpose of paying full price for your phones?

Someone has to explain how this works because I don't understand it. If I'm an already existing customer, I can't get a phone under a 2 year contract? I have to buy a phone at full price and get a plan as well? If so, why is the consumer getting screwed over? This appears to be more expensive than a contract.

I went to T-Mobile and the rep laughed at me for wanting to switch from Verizon. Is the coverage really that bad?

Anything better than sprint, God my service is crap!
Never liked being under contract.
From what I read somewhere, existing customers still have the option of doing 2 year.

T-mobile coverage sucks. I swear it's bad just about anywhere indoors.

Contract or not you can still make the switch to T-Mobile with their Carrier Freedom offer, they will buy out your contract or what you owe on your phone.
This used to be the case but not so much anymore. All of T-Mobiles towers are supposed to be upgraded to 4g LTE by years end, even the 2g towers out in the boonies. Here in Oregon a lot have been done and now I get 4gLTE even in the mountains.

This is not discouraging smartphone purchases at all. Educate yourself B. In a contract you pay more monthly, so that phone you are getting "free" it is just built into the plan cost you are contracted into for 2 years. THis is not a fair practice, as someone with a $100 smartphone is paying the same as someone with a $800 smartphone. The no contract options put more freedom in your hands as a consumer, if you don't need the best phone your bill will be A LOT cheaper. Also no more waiting 2 years to get a new phone. Phones these days are outdated quickly, nobody wants that 2 year old device, no contracts allow you to upgrade to the next greatest thing when YOU want.
Wireless companies have fooled people like you into thinking contracts are the best thing ever, I suggest you look at cost breakdowns and see how much of a sham they were.

Worked at VZW for a bit.
Remember in training they said, we not really a phone company anymore.
"We sell data. Thats all.
So, go sell that data!"
shut up bird.
