I think Pre paid is the way to go. Most carriers have ETFs of $300 plus if you want to leave before your contract is up and every year, a manufacture always comes out with an "it" phone everybody wants but might not be available through their provider. When you opt out of your 2 year agreement, even when you pay the $300 etf, it still negatively impacts your credit score. Its looked upon as a broken contract even though you paid the penalty. So lets see. $300 for a top line smartphone for 2 yrs, $300 plus if i bang out early and a possible bilght on my credit score? I'd rather shell out the $600 up front and be free to move around as i please. Who knows? If enough people do this,maybe the top 4 might try a little harder in bringing better phones to their clients,

Not true. I have cancelled a line and paid ETF and it did not impact my credit score or anything. It will only impact if you don't pay the ETF and it goes to collection.

exactly, here in Europe prepaid is the best way to go. The carriers have contracts but most dont bother because who wants to be tied up fir two years. I have paid full price for my phones and there are advantages to haveing a factory unlocked phone.
