Pretty much every major carrier out there offers services and devices without contract except Verizon, but word has it they’ll be making the switch on September 21st. This opens up some options for folks who just want to pay month by month and not suffer the wrath of early termination fees that those poor saps on contract have to deal with. Of course when it comes to devices, you’ll be losing out on some hefty subsidies, so there’s a lot of give and take there. All Verizon Wireless plans and devices should have the contractless option starting next week – keep your eyes peeled!
