Verizon used to do it like you say: They would sell a $600 phone for
$200 to suck me in and then stick me with a two year contract at
inflated prices.

However things are different now. They sold me my current Motorola at
the full $630 price and my phone service is charged separately. NO
contract. I currently pay $20/mo for my line and $35/mo for 2GB of data
for a total of $55/mo. (That includes the usual nationwide (US) free
roaming and unlimited talk and text.)

Verizon did finance my phone over two years (at no interest) but I was
free to pay it off and leave at any time with no penalty. So FOR ME it
WAS kinda like buying a house or a car. YMMV with your phone company...
