Lately I've been trying to think of ways to spend less, and to do that you have to give up something. It's easier to give up something if the benefit wasn't that great, and the cost of exit isn't too bad.
When trying to think of it, I noticed that the savings would be large. But, it's easy for me to look at the money, the strictly financial cost factor. I already know about ETF (Early Termination Fees), but since I have a high cost phone that I could resell I can make back most of the fee, if not all of it.
I can see other benefits too, since I will no longer be able to make plans on the fly, talk while driving, or ensure I'm off the phone before reaching the cashier/customer service/whatever. I will also no longer have to ignore the phone while talking to someone.
What I wonder though, is if there will be any negative social impact? Most people under the age of 40 seem to have them, so I would be joining a minority. I want to know exactly what I'll be getting myself into. This is the sort of thing that isn't in the fine print.
