The answer is absolutely YES! Not too long ago, "no contract" cell phone services were designed only for those with bad or no credit. But with a slumping economy and record number of Americans unemployed, cell phone companies have responded with a slew of offerings tailored specifically for those who still want great coverage and lots of features, but don't want to be contractually obligated. For example, T-mobile's new monthly UNLIMITED 4G give cell phone customers talk, text, and web on one of the nation's largest wireless networks at only $50 a month (up to 100mb 4G web, after which speeds will be reduced). But the best part is, there is no contract to sign, and no term commitments. In addition, you can use any T-mobile phone and even bring your existing number from any other service!  You can even use an iPhone on this service! T-mobile isn't the only the service offering competitive no contract cell service. There are several options available and we would be happy to assist you before you sign another 2-year contract and be locked in with no other options.
