When deciding to contract or pay as you go there are many considerations.
First: Contract or not, once you have met the contract duration (Paid off the handset) you can switch networks at any time, Many providers make a big thing in their adds about how you can "even keep your current phone number".. So you know, this is a federal law.. All companies have to offer that service. (most do, some do not).
But the decision to contract or now has to be made by analyzing your use.. For me. Normally (I'm not normal just now) a contract makes sense... I use my data allotment and a pay as you go would actually cost me more.. Normally.. (I do not use my voice/messages that much but I burn a lot of bandwidth). For others. this is not the case.
One thing I like about my provider.. If I ever go OVER my limit, they do not cha-ching me liek Verizon does.. they just slow me down. I have, on rare occasions, slightly exceeded my allotment.
