The problem is, had your phone broken during the first few months of your
contract, you'd be inelligible for the best pricing on a replacement for
quite awhile.

To each his own- to me, the freedom to switch carriers or negotiate a
better deal (when I need one) is worth more than $40.

BTW, I don't know if they're blowing smoke or not, but some at Howard
Forums have claimed to hold out for two months free (the 6th and 12th,)
doing what you described .
