That's how it works I do believe, but of course you'd want to make sure the sales rep you talk to confirms all that, and it's in your contract also. I haven't ever canceled within a trial period as Sprint's always had excellent coverage everywhere I've gone...but I'd imagine it'd be normal for you to pay a pro-rated fee for the plan you chose. Also, I haven't heard of many 1-yr contracts nowadays. They're typically 2-yrs....even if they tell you 1-yr, it's prolly 2 on the contract. I know of quite a few people who complain about them saying 1, but actually getting stuck with 2. I got 2 because I knew I wouldn't be upgrading for at least 2 years since I've got such a pimp tight phone.

What the heck is that all about? 
Yea...if I were in your situation, I wouldn't be breaking contracts. But that's 'cause I don't have money to blow like that. If it's worth it to you, go ahead and break as many contracs as you'd like.
BUT REMEMBER: sprint's cheaper all around...data is $10 (you'll have to ask them to remove the $5/mo credit toward games, ringtones, etc., though) versus $45/mo...and they have a roaming option that you can use verizon's network if need be (that $5 download credit can go toward that roaming option if you'll even need it)
