Default Contract?

Our cell phone contract from CellularOne is ending we havn't been happy with their service so we are looking to go to AllTell pretty much the only other cellular provider here. My mom does not want to go with a two year contract because she dosn't want to be stuck for two years with someone. But if we dont go with a two year contract then we have to pay full price for the phones.
What do you guys think? Go w/out a contract and pay full price for the phones or a two year contract and get free phones?

IMO pay for the phones... and if you can go with NEXTEL the 2 way option is perfect for communicating

Definitely buy the phone. You'll save more in the long tun by paying for the phone once than a whole second year of service you don't want.

^That'* a good point too....I guess you'll just have to check the math and see what makes the most sense.
