As soon as the contract is expired it really is very easy to switch here in Austria because every carrier uses the same 2G and 3G bands and you can even take your phone number to the next provider.

My mom suggested that I ditch the data plan on my iPhone. I keep telling her that it's not an option.

I am very happy with mine, I live in the UK and pay £15 per month and get unlimited internet & tethering, 3000 mins and 3000 texts. Couldnt be happier. What do u guys in the US pay then?

[ForceUnleashed83]

I never use contract phones, I just buy them with out a contract and use pay as you go sim cards or micro sims for the iphone because I get carried away and end up with a huge bill and on top of it carriers are now offering pretty much the same deals as contract, of course you have to top up in order to get your monthly allowance but you dont HAVE TO so i find this is the best way to go, minus the hassle of topping up that takes a few seconds online
