Which option??? iPhone 5 w/ 2yr contract? Or keep 4s & finish 1yr contract?

[Big.Mac.Daddy]

Not sure which option to go which is why I'm asking

If you could either:

1) Always have the newest iPhone every year BUT are ALWAYS locked in a 2-yr contract.

or

2) Finish your remaining 1-yr contract with your 4s and then go prepaid with SimpleMobile ($45/mo unlimited everything)

Which option would you choose?

Also forgot to ask... WHY would you choose the option you did?

Thanks for your help

how do you get a new phone very year? ATT keeps telling me I can't upgrade until my contract is up.

Wait if its a 2 year contract...how do you get a new phone every year (without paying the discounted contract price)?

I don't know too much about prepaid plans but the one big negative is that they are regional. If you don't travel around the US or out of your region then it's a viable option. I don't travel a lot but when I do I wouldn't want to worry about something like that.

You also have to look at the plans and see if they make sense based on your use.

Or just purchase at full retail every other year.
