Bill to Challenge Mobile Phone Contracts
Good Stuff!!!
I work for Sprint and I have to say that it would be nice to be able to let a customer pay full price for a phone and chose any plan they wish. And in all honesty the main reason we have customers sign contracts is so we can make the money back from the discount we gave them on the phone when they signed up. You could chose to go pre paid but you wouldn't get the coverage that our standard plans have. We do have one month to month plan but it is $39.99 for 200 min and 9 pm nights and weekends. I personally think this would be a great step in the right direct for customer satisfaction.

I think that the government should just make it so that no contract plans are on the brochures but I don't think they should get rid of contracts all together. It should go like this:
