However, I do find it beneficial now that I'm not in a contract. It's far scarier to them when I say "I'm not liking the service I got for X reason, so I'd like to cancel my service. I can get things handled much faster. In any case, as you mentioned, if you're jumping around, or if you're willing to jump around for a better deal, being off contract is much better. My GF and her family have a data plan with Verizon, I think. They had one with T-Mobile before. Before that I think it was ATT or Sprint. In any case, they have been able to get a few more things for a slightly lower bill. It wouldn't have worked out too well if they were on a contract, which could end up costing about $200 per line to cancel. As for the free phones, no they aren't totally terrible. There are a few that are pretty cool. T-Mobile, and probably some of the other carriers, give out the Nexus 5 free. It's not a bad phone, it's just not the latest. I like the big outlays. I have the Note 3, and I can't wait to for the Note 4 to come out. It's a fun phone with a large screen. It doesn't have the largest screen as Samsung and some other companies make much bigger phones, but the Note 3's screen is much better for watching videos than say the iPhone. Every once in a while I feel as if my phone has been possessed by a used car salesman. I have T-mobile, and they give you unlimited data, just not unlimited high-speed data. I have 3.5 GB of dat, or something like that. Every once in a while I'll be somewhere and I'll need to use my computer to do some quick online work. I'll share my device's mobile data, so I can get online with my computer. That'll use up a bit of data, so once in a while I'll get close to my monthly limit of high-speed data, and my phone instantly tries to sell me more data. It's very pushy. It tries to make me feel bad that I'm running out of data.</blockquote>
