lol.  may i point out that you will have payed nearly $1000 for your phone by the time your contract is up.  
jeez, it sounds as though you guys are bashing me for being on a month to month low cost plan.  this just does not make sense. 
hey, if you want and can afford paying nearly $100 a month just to have a cel phone then, who am i to tell you a less costly way of doing things.  but, someone previously said that he could not afford sucha plan.  this is an alternative.
