It's a price difference. You can sign up for a contract and get a free phone, or pay, say, up to $300 for an 32GB iPhone. Or, if you don't get a contract, you have to pay full price for the phone, which, for the same iPhone, would be $350 more.
We've stayed away from contracts because, to be blunt, our credit is really craptastic. I think for the Net10 thing we paid like $50 for the phone, and then you just buy minutes as you go. Texting is cheap, and so are calls. And again, I don't use it much, so it works for us.

I've been extremely slack in making my vacation plans.
I arrive in Los Angeles on August 27. How long should I stay? Where should I go? Who should I meet?
You should meet me. I don't know about the rest of it.
You should go to Apple Pan and have some pie.
Why is someone in my office sending me an email saying it's good we're in the same roundtable next week so she can meet me? She can meet me now.
Hey, I wonder if she'll give me chocolate like the other guy.
Weirdly, I do feel more bonded to the guy I threw an egg at. I'm kind of creeped out that that worked.

Apple Pan is near me. Hec is so right.
You're done for today, so I hope you value what you used it on.

Steering Scola right? Always good value.
