Problems with Standard Long Term Cell Contracts

Long term contract--some of us hate long term contracts. I will gladly pay a little more to not sign a long term contract.
Many people have moved only to find the long term contract phone they are locked into has terrible or no reception in their new location. You are required to pay the contract even if you can't use it.
Credit checks--If you have bad credit or an unpaid old billyou might not be able to get a new contract.
Losing or breaking a contract phone--often the replacement phone will cost you a bundle.
