Another terrible situation that airies from this si that, if my phone breaks, and I am without insurance on the device, I would simply be out of luck.While you are in between contracts your cell phone carrier will not offer you any discount on cell phones at all, in fact, carriers usally mark up the price son their phones extrodanarily high.So If i were to accidently dorp my iPhone in water half-way through my contract, AT&T would charge me full retail price for a replacment. Lastly, in 2 years times cell hones can become very outdated.So while you are stuck with your current phone for 2 years, all your friends could have the latest and most feature-rich cell phones.It is a proven fact that technology increases very much, even within a year.So in 2 years time, your cell phone would be very otudated.
