What phone plan do you hop onto with an unlocked device? Month to month?
The advantage is you are not stuck with a contract with one company, and can move to whatever company you want with your phone (as long as the phone works on the bandwidth the company is using i.e. Wind mobile won't work on iPhone)

So you can theoretically get better deals from companies as they don't have you bent over, and you are free to cancel anytime without any penalty.
