Verizon not offering 1yr contracts after sunday!?

[marcg611]

Just saw on the local news that Verizon is ending 1 yr contracts.. wtf! Im barely at 1 yr now and want a new phone, though the Inc is still dope! 1yr seems smarter with how fast the technology is advancing. Don't know how I'm gonna make it another year!

It's crazy right

Sad but true

this is absolutely inevitable...

that is why I am going to just start saving money and buying phones straight out... I have been a part of verizon for over 13 yrs... it pisses me off BUT nothing I can do about it. plus, I don't care what anyone says, they are the most reliable

yeah you cant get proper service where i grew up without verizon bc of valleys and i suppose cell tower placement.

i have 2 years of unlimited 4g tho (both a perk and a curse of thunderbolt)

This is horrible news:'( WTF just when I decide to try one year contracts and fall in love with the idea they go and do this crap. All these policy changes are having me strongly considering dropping VZW when my contract expires this winter.

If you are an Android fan and are planning to buy a phone, one year plans make sense. The excelerated release rate of these phones are almost all one year and done anyway. Every other carrier is either doing the same or rolling out this same tactic. The problem is that the phones are not as cheap as they would as they would on a 2 yr. contract. They seem to put the savings upfront in the price now, similar to what Best Buy does.

Well, you could buy them at full retail price......

$500+ is a lot for a phone...
