You guessed it.....the price of cell-phone service is about to drop over the next 6-12 months, so they want you to sign a contract with them before the price drops. So regardless of the deal you get, wouldn't you rather go non-contract and save money as prices go down? Consumer report did the math, and they recommend going with a full-priced phone with a non-contract carrier to save up to $1,000 over two years......
