I'd pay more to avoid a contract!

With the value of prepaid plans, and the ability to control spending (i.e. no surprise large bills at the end of the month!), I’d be willing to pay up to $150 for a phone. I usually end up keeping my phone for a couple of years, and I’d more than make up for the $75/yr on the savings of the prepaid plan. Any more than $150 and I don’t know that I’d want to fork over that money even if it’s a better deal in the long run.
