But then she told me that while it is contract free, I would still need to finish out my initial 2 year commitment, meaning that an Early Termination Fee would still apply. Is that what they told you when you switched also? I'll take the $$ savings each month by switching, but it would be nice not to have an ETF too.
They said it would be contract free, and I asked very specifically if that would also apply to my smartphone plan. She checked with a manger and said yes, and then took a while to do some overrides on a computer, so I'm thinking the answer is that no early termination fee would apply. On top of that, the entire smartphone data plan part was waved when I switched to the $10/mo plan, so I'm almost certain I'm wholly off contract. On the other hand, I am told I can't make the same sort of subsidy (at least on T-mobile) next time around [shrug].

The person on the phone told me that the $10/mo data plan delivered different content. Whether that restricts me to a whitelist of sites or limits my speed/aggregate usage/blocks ports remains to be seen, but others here have reported no problems using their $10/mo plan, so I'm guessing it's just marketing speak.
