I started on a $20pcm plan, back when my phone was too big to fit in my pocket. When I got an Android, I bumped up to the $30 plan because I couldn't get an Android on anything less. This plan is coming to an end, but I do not trust my organisational skills or discipline enough to risk getting a pre-paid where I have to think about what and when I pay.

Seriously, I've had a lifetime of practice with this, and if it's not a fire-and-forget deal, then I will at some point fuck it up. I like predictability, and I like having things Just Happen. I make a deal that I pay $x, every month I get a paper bill which I can put on the fridge with the others in temporal order, and pay them as they approach due in a controlled fashion.

Changing to a pre-paid is change, and it's change to an inherently less predictable thing. I don't care if I could save $10 here or there, if the price is that I lose that comfortable stability. Fuck, it's hard enough dealing with the phone changeover at the end of contract. (Which is more or less now.)

Being overcharged by $30pcm for what I'm getting now, that I'm not going to out up with. But then, moving to that would also be change, to which I'm averse even if it weren't an obvious and blatant rip-off.
