That sounds like a major pain in the ass.

    A lot less pain then getting stuck paying off $1000 phone and over $300 for service. I guess some people just prefer to get ripped off

    What does the cost of the phone have to do with changing your plan monthly? You can not get ripped off and not have to do all that hoop jumping each month.

    Well related because just buying a phone outright in my area is not easy. I have to ship the phone direct from manufacturer because all the major retailers refuse to sell unless you buy through a contract.

    Well I dont have to change it monthly if i don't want to but I happen to want to because it makes it harder to track and create a profile If I do. My actual phone/SMS service stays the same either way and routes over XMPP.

    The cost of the phone is why most average people get suckered in to long term contracts.
