I'm not bound to any contracts is the big one for me. I'm not into owing anyone, anything. Deal complete, shake hands and move on... I can switch providers as I want and not on the hook for paying off the phone if I leave. Even if it costs me a little more. I can sell the phone if I want and have done so before.
