...with a carried like alltell? If you already bought a cell phone, will you still need to get a 2yr contract with a carried like alltell? I own my phone already and Im just wondering if they'll still ask me to go with a 2yr agreement contract. I thought they only do that to give you a discount on the phones....what do you guys say?

yeah, you have to sign some sort of contract to have service.

Usually so if your opening a new account.
Regardless of if you buy one before or when you open the account.
