From a CNET contributor, a customer of Page Plus Cellular (a company that resells Verizon’s data/talk-time network) here are some pros and cons she’s discovered going contract-less.

Pros:
-can quit any time, no penalties;
-can change phones any time;
-can change plans any time;
-can change providers any time;
-author pays $50/month all-in for 1200 minutes voice / 3000 texts voice and data including for iPad.

Cons:
-initial cost of phone (ie not subsidized);
-no 4G. Right now, Page Plus only offers 3G service;
-likely limited access to the latest and greatest phones (you may be able to buy them at full price yet they may not have access to the top services).
