    Do you have a contract on your phone? If yes, what is it?

    I have unlimited texts, and 700 minutes for £20 a month.
    Good deal huh?
     
    Pay AS YOU GO,I pay for it when I have to re-fill. I used to have contract under my dads name but he cancelled it a while ago.
     
    I have Pay As You Go, because I rarely use my phone, and I've never ever sent over 100 texts in a month, let alone 500+. XD

    If I did have a need for one however, I would have a contract. :P
     
    Well, I can send over 50 texts a day xD
    I guess that's a little too much to pay on pay-as-you-go.

    I have lots of friends I don't see very often, so I text them during the day...
    I can see where my Dad was coming from when he said it was costing too much.
     
    Contract - £30 a month.
    Not sure how much minutes is on it but I send up to 30-40 texts a day..
     
    I'm on pay as you go and use £20 in about 2 and a half months, but as a part of paying nearly £200 for a Blackberry Pearl, I have unlimited email and internet for 12 months, by which time I'm hoping I'll be able to get a new Blackberry on a contract.
     
    Pay as you go with Orange on a tarriff. £10 a month for 300 free texts & free access to Bebo, Facebook & Myspace + I have my credit so it's not too shabby :]
     
    Pay as you go plans are what I hate the most. I find them unreliable because when you need to pay, you may not have the money in the account, and you're just sitting there with a phone that's pretty much useless. This happened to me so many times. With a contract, you know when you have to pay, and you have time and notice before and after you get the bill to pay it. I find it easier and a lot less stressful.

    Uhm... my contract is, though not activated currently (I have to wait for the school year to start to even activate it):
    Nation 450 w/Rollover® Minutes - $39.99/month
    Unlimited Texting - $20.00/month
     
    I'm on a contract - <£15 a month for 200 minutes and unlimited texts. I need the unlimited texts, as I usually end up sending about 1,000 a month. o.o;
     
    Prepaid/Pay-as-you-go is what I have. I prefer it that way personally, since I'm not a frequent phone user. I don't call or text much, but I do pay $6.99 a month to get $0.10 a minute rate. The $6.99 a month, saves me from having to buy a card for the dern phone every month, I just put money on the account whenever I run low. :3

    Seems like a contract, but it's not since there's no actual agreement signed, and you can simply stop buying cards and toss the phone without penalty.
     
    I have a contract for my Orange EnV from Verizon. Its about $70.00 a month.

    It comes with unlimited texting, but I have no idea about the minutes. Mostly because I have no need to call when I can just text.
     
    Pay As You Go. If I got a contract I'd end up overspending... by a lot.
     
    It's really a mix for me I guess..

    I have a 10 cent per minute plan but I never call people, I only text people. So I have a $15.00 a month contract for unilimited text while I still have pay-as-you-go minutes.
     
    Contracts here aren't exactly cheap, so I have a Pre-paid/Pay as you go phone. Which I find perfectly fine as I only text anyway.
     
    I refuse to settle down with a contract for now because I'm still hoping against hope that we'll get some ACTUAL competition in the wireless industry in Canada. Current prices are ridiculous. ;_; ($60/month for 2GB of data on a 3G plan? Looool screw you, Bell, Rogers and Telus. >:C)

    So yeah, I'm on a pay-and-talk plan. I think I top up automatically with $10/month and $7 of that goes to my monthly "unlimited internet" fee. Which I pretty much use for twitter. Every so often I'll add $20 or $50 to the account when it drops dangerously low. I rarely use my phone save the occasional text or quick call though so... I really don't need a plan anyway.
