I tried this with T-Mobile. I have a Treo 650 unlocked and asked them, do I still need a 1 or 2 year contract if I already have a phone. She said yes and the lowest contract they had was 1 year.
Shrug. AT&T offers "no commitment" pricing for its phones. But as for T-Mobile, just buy an unlocked phone off ebay put your SIM in it.

I used to be a sub agent a long time ago and I've never seen a new signup that didn't require at least one year commitment. The one thing I kept telling them is, if I like your service - I'll stay with you. I originally signed up with Cingular and had some problems but not many. Ever since ATT got ahold of them, my reception has gone downhill - and that makes no sense. Been with them 5 years and I think it's time to go. The bad thing is I want to go to T-Mobile, but since they don't want to play like the other kids, I don't think I will.

Pre-paid is another way and another conversation. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20713673 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:26:08 EDT Re: Reminder Everyone! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20711769 joebear29 : www.ebay.com

With the way the US economy is tanking, I doubt very many of the middle class or lower has that kind of funds just waiting to be used.

Simply paying full price for a phone or going prepaid are 2 of the most common avenues for escaping contracts and ETFs.
