You've fallen into the trap of humouring the networks here with these 18
month contracts. Before the norm of 18 months extends to 24, and from
there up to 30, tell your friends and everyone else to avoid them like
the plague.

Remember phones aren't free. You only get a good deal on them because
you're commiting to being a customer for a LONG stretch of time.
