Been contract free for 12 1/2 years now

I got my first cell phone for Christmas of 1999- an Audiovox analog (AMPS) cell brick that came in an Airtouch prepaid phone-in-a-box kit from a local discount/variety store.

I just never could justify spending more than $15 a month and being enslaved to a 2 year contract for my little usage... just not worth it. That Sprint SERO plan for ~$38/month a few years back was tempting, but I just couldn't justify $38/month for my little usage.

And we can now have nice Android smartphones on prepaid now with a little data to boot! (I use Page Plus). I actually spend a bit more than $15/month now (closer to $30/month), but I can drop down to a lower plan and spend $12/month or less whenever I feel like it.

Oh... and I can go to another provider whenever I want without paying an early termination fee!

All of the prepaid/no-contract options available now with smartphones and data are enough to make you think twice before enslaving yourself for 2 years to a plan that you can't get out of cheaply without consequences to your credit if shit happens and you can't afford the triple digit bill anymore.
