Please answer my question!!!

Ok, so if I buy an iphone 5c, do I automatically have a monthly plan, or do I need to go to my carrier and get one? Does that make sense? Basically, I don't want to pay $55 a month for Verizon, because I want to talk to Verizon and see if i can get a cheaper plan. so when i buy my iphone, am i in a contract for the $55 a month automatically, or do i go to Verizon and get my contract there?

iPhone 5c

If you an iphone at full price from the Apple store, you can set up a plan with your carrier without signing a contract. You just need to make sure to buy the right phone for the correct carrier. Verizon CDMA phones won't work with AT&T....

The contract is only needed if the carrier is subsidizing the price and avoid the need of paying over $650 for a device.
