Completely agree. I stopped using contract wireless services since a few years ago and have been able to consistently pay less and get more than before.

Currently using AT&T GoPhone's new $45/30days "Walmart" plan with unlimited talk/text and 1GB of data. Its much less than on contract. Prices are falling, you just have to look beyond a contract.

Oh wow, that is expensive. Here in the UK on prepay Three offer 25GB/30 days (marketed as "unlimited") for $25 (£15). Bonus: You get LTE where available for no extra charge.
