Sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means saying that there aren't, but the vast majority of people I know seem to be under the mistaken impression that any contract saves them money, which is a load of crap. The majority of them *don't* unless you manage to find some kind of special deal. Kind of to be expected, given that the phone company expects to - and will - make money off you, phone inclusive or exclusive. I'm personally not in the market for a contract, but the above isn't the only reason why: my expenses are paid by my employer, so I've no need for one.
