"AT&T already does this." uhh, no they do not. There's not one wireless provider who does this in the U.S. for a regular postpaid account, except for Metropcs, but they don't count.
Most reps are unaware they get paid commission on it, and those that do know that commissions on month to month contracts considered 'at risk' for 6 months. That's why it usually isn't offered during the transaction and is also why ignorant people don't think it exists.
I've sold it to several people who already had a phone or didn't want a contract but were willing to pay full retail for the device.

Uhh, yes they do. You just have to ask for it.

US Cellular does, you can bring your own USCC phone or pay full retail and go month to month.
I am pretty sure t-mobile will give you a SIM card month to month.
Why don't you STFU before you let crap spill out of your mouth. I'm ON THE PLAN. How you gonna tell me what kind of plan I have?
Yes. T-Mobile has been doing this for a while.
