You may *think* that this is true of all the major carriers, but the
reality is that for mobile service cingular does not require a
contract if you bring your own equipment and do not opt into any
special promotions. The other major mobile carriers, T-Mobile, Sprint
PCS, Nextel, etc. do not "give you a break" and will require a minimum
contract.
