I want an iphone 5.inexpensive mobile plans?

I want an iphone 5… But a lot of the big name companies are too expensive. Are there any good deals for the big name brands (verizon, at&t, sprint, etc.) I also checked out some of the cheap brands like virgin mobile and criKet, but virgin mobile doesn't have iphone 5's and criKet costs almost 500 dollars for a iphone 5. Any brand recommendations?

5 points to best answer!
ANy advice is greatly appreciated!

Try craigslist for a stolen one and just formart, hack and change the ip.(you can't get caught because you HAVE THE RIGHT to mod your phone)

The reason that it costs so much on prepaid services is because you are paying the full price of the phone. You would have to pay the same amount at the big name companies, too, if you were buying it without renewing your contract. Straight Talk now has the iPhone, and they seem pretty cheap also. T-Mobile just announced that they are getting the iPhone, probably in February. No one knows exactly when they are going to get it, but it will be sometime in 2013. The T-Mobile USA CEO said that it should be in February, though.

Now, T-Mobile said that with the iPhone, and all other smart phones, you will no longer have to pay anything for the phone, you will just pay a certain amount every month along with the bill until it is paid off.

For the Straight Talk iPhone, you can pay for it with a WalMart credit card. If you don't have one, you should look into it. With the WalMart credit card, you can pay it off monthly, they will work with you to finance the iPhone.
