That is the attitude that let's the consumer get screwed now. Complacency is what AT&T want from us. I don't think there should be any early termination fees. Just charge full price for the phone and move on. AT&T and T-Mobile both have that option, you can pay full price and not be locked into a contract or you can bring your own GSM device. -- "I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies."

Of course they have the option, but the price it so that it makes no sense to that pay that price. All cable companies are in bed with the cell phone makers on this. Do you really think that the cell phone carriers are really giving discounts here??? They have an extremely high mark up so they can appear to be giving a big discount. -- "There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots"

If you bring your own phone or buy one from them at full retail you can get service without a contract. If you get a discount on the phone price then a contract comes into play.

Not if you know how to game the system. With T-Mobile at least (and AT&T?) you can buy any "prepaid" phone kit that they sell and use it for postpaid service simply by swapping the SIM cards. I got a replacement Motorola V195 for $30 this way. Would've been $100 to get it through the postpaid group. Works just fine.
